Answer by Dominicana Princessa
I don’t know anything about the canons….So I reckon the Sony digital Camera’s aren’t terrible.. so maybe u should just stick to the Sony… especially since u already have the charger and the memory card…

Tough choice, but reckon the List below would really be the best.

Just saw this camera at Best Buy and reckon it is a fantastic camera and a best buy. It has an optical viewfinder and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries. Please read as much of the later as you can for additional information and help with choosing a camera.
List A590IS $ 134.99 at Best Buy or $ 116.30 at Amazon.com

Camera reports batteries low, but is it low charge or terrible electrical contacts? Overcharging can ruin excellent batteries! The secret to making digital cameras work better is having excellent electrical contacts between batteries and camera.

Digital cameras require lots of power. Terrible electrical contacts can cause lots of problems so battery and camera contacts must be cleaned properly. Batteries may be fully charged, but will be viewed as low if contacts are not really excellent. The LCD screen is a low steady load, but when lens extension, optical zoom, focus, and flash charging are added in the capture mode; the load is very heavy. Terrible contacts make cameras do weird things like making terrible pictures or shutting off with the lens out.

CAUTION Do not overcharge! Batteries can be severely hurt. Use an automatic two or more hour Energizer Compact smart charger with safety timer, temperature monitor, and trickle charge technology ($ 9.76) at Walmart. For longer life, use Duracell 2000mAh batteries and a full cycle charge monthly. To preserve battery charge, use the view finder and not the LCD screen when possible.

There are so many cameras out there it is hard to say which is best, but digital is beyond doubt the way to go. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices.

What gives a camera its picture quality? The later information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

The small answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very vital, but the ability to set the scene, exchange the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the fantastic pictures.

Many of the new cameras come with only an LCD screen. Would suggest that you find one that also has an optical view finder because the LCD screen is nearly impossible to see in bright sun.

Higher mega pixels may not really be the best business to look for. It is more expensive, takes longer to process, and may not be needed unless you are making a really large picture or blowing up a small part of a picture. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel background is 8 x 10 inches.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don’t need the largest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.
My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives fantastic results, is nearer, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an ancient camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes … like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several supplies and compare prices. Question what cameras they own, but don’t judge everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner’s manual. Just learned that my camera has red-eye prevention and correction. It also has adaptive lighting. You may be able to view the owners manual at this link, but will need to Login. http://www.retrevo.com/s/di

I recently started looking for a new Sony Cybershot digital camera. My very ancient DSC W100 (8.1 MP)is outdated, but i like its features (such as vivid, black and white, sepia, increase sharpness, increase contrast. Do you know of any new versions of Sony cameras with these features that isn’t as outdated?

Answer by Brian
Personally, I have been burned too many times by cybershots to go back. List, Nikon, Panasonic, and Olympus are excellent brands. Sony values stylishness over function.

The options you are looking for are Standard features on most modern ‘point and shoot’ cameras. The manufacturers just place them in different spots in the menus. List for example places them as “My color” options on the side menu. Some cameras let you customize them. I personally have fun with Contrast:5 Sharpness:5 Saturation:1 Amber:5

You can expect to see the options you want.
