What is a good digital camera to get for a novice photographer?

I am a graphic design student who is interested in photography – specifically pin-up/fashion photography- and would like to use the shots for my art work. The only problem is that Graphic Design school is expensive enough, so I plan on teaching my self the basics in digital photography……so I would like some recommendations on a starter digital camera that isnt too expensive! I have a simple Kodak Easy Share 3.1 camera….im assuming it wont make the cut! Although I use photoshop to manipulate photo’s i take – I figure I would still need a better camera to take better shots…. any recommendations/ideas on cameras, equipment, how to get started would help and be greatly appreciated.

Hey lainey,
probably one of the top cameras in the $ 300 range is the Casio EX-Z600. It has 4x optical zoom, 6.1MP and an f2.7 lens (the widest currently available on a point and shoot)

What is the best digital camera for taking pictures of documents in archives?

I am going to Africa to take pictures of documents in archives. The materials are not in good shape and the archive is poorly lit with flourescent lights. I’ve heard that some digital cameras have a feature that is especially useful for taking black and white pictures (although these would be primarily ivory/beige and black). Has anyone heard of that or could you give me suggestions of brands, models that would best do the job? Any resources out there especially for people working in archives? Thank you.

Hey Julie R,
I have a Nikon D70s and have taken numerous pictures of very old bibles that have been in our family for generations. Using a digital camera is great because you can preview the pictures you just took on the preview window built into the camera. That way you can ensure that you got the right shot while you are over there (vs. using film and needing to wait for the results).

You can put the camera on a tripod and point it down at the archives. The camera comes with a fill flash, but you can also get a complete flash to mount on the camera.

The 18-70mm Nikon lens worked great for taking pictures of the bibles (you can get this lens with the camera body as a kit). The lens is what makes a huge difference here.

In addition to being solid for taking pictures of the archives you will enjoy having a killer SLR camera for taking pictures of friends and family

What is the best digital camera for just everyday use?

I am interested in buying a new camera. I take pictures on a daily basis but I don’t need the fancy ones for action shots. I would like one that reduces red-eye if possible, if not that’s okay too. Any suggestions?

Hey ,
I would recommend the Nikon Coolpix. It is pretty good camera and I use it.

What is the best digital camera for concerts?

I go to alot of concerts, and I need to get a new camera that has the ability to take vibrant picture, despite the low lighting of the venue, and have a fast shutter speed so the pictures don’t turn out blurry.
The video on the camera needs to be able to record very loud music, and not turn out like a big growl into the speakers.
Perferably slim-ish, to be able to sneak it into the venues that don’t allow it.
Reccomendations?
