Best Digital Camera in 2013?

Q. I'm looking for a digital camera with the following:

* Awesome, detailed shots for both amateur and professional photography use
* Fast, extreme action modes with instant, non-blurry shots (no delay unless optional)
* Full 1080p Quality Video with Excellent Sound and no buzzing/noises
* Great Image Stabilization
* Lovely Zoom with little to no shaking and annoying sounds
* Ability to record beautifully in both low light and very bright settings
* Easiness to learn, maintain, and adjust to
* Durable and lasts for maybe 20 years

A lifetime warranty for a camera product would be nice, but I doubt it exists. I've looked at the newest Canon Rebel (zoom/sound issues), Nikon D7100 (seems too stiff in certain settings), some Panasonic models, etc. I am on a budget and want to record high quality music videos and shorts, and take fancy pictures with the camera I am seeking. I want to spend no more than maybe $650 on my ideal product. What are your suggestions and knowledge of expertise?

A. I have a dream that someday anyone who decides to take up photography as a hobby will first know and understand this: "It isn't the camera its the photographer."

A person with zero knowledge of light, composition and exposure will be unable to use any camera in any mode other than Program or Auto, allowing the camera to determine ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Even then, zero knowledge of just composition will usually produce mere snapshots.

In 42 years I have never owned a camera that made really good pictures.

In 42 years I have never owned a camera that made really bad pictures.

However, in those 42 years I have used a camera to make some really good pictures and some really bad pictures. The camera is just a tool and gets neither credit nor blame for my results good or bad. That's all on me.

Buy the least expensive DSLR you can find. Read & study the Owner's Manual. Then enroll in photography classes. Take notes. Practice. Make changes to aperture or shutter speed or ISO only when you understand why you're making them and what the results will be.

A 20 year old digital camera will be as useless as a 20 year old computer is today.

In many states a "lifetime" warranty is considered 7 years. Some high-end lenses (translate as a lens costing a few thousand dollars) have a 5 year warranty. Most DSLR bodies have a 1 year warranty.

Best Digital Camera Under 200 Dollars 2013 ?

Q. Best Digital Camera Under 200 Dollars ? what is the best camera i can buy for 200 dollars or less

A. Definitely, the Canon PowerShot SX500 IS http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00908BMVE/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00908BMVE&linkCode=as2&tag=laptop058-20

It takes really great photos and videos at 1080 pixels. It has a good image stabilization and auto focus as well as a nice 30x zoom which is great. This camera has received tonnes of positive feedbacks and iI think is the best you can get for less than $200

What's the best camera?

Q. Looking to spend $250 or under for a good digital camera. Mostly for taking pictures and video of my new daughter. I don't want a manual flash that I have to pop out everytime I take a picture. What camera do you LOVE, where did you get it and what did it cost?

A. If you are going to use on-camera flash (which is not the most pleasing-looking image), you should not reject those models that require you to push the button to pop it up. It is generally a desirable feature to do that. Increasing the distance between the flash and the lens decreases the chances of red eye.
For best results at your budget, you should get a premium compact--one with a sensor bigger than the 1/2.3" sensors of the cheapos. It would be good to get one with a hotshoe to mount an external flash for doing bounce flash. I know, currently you are not interested in that, but you might grow into it. Maybe not. I don't think there is one with a hotshoe currently in your budget, but prices can wax and wane.

BH Photo currently carries the Nikon P330 for $200 while they last. It is discontinued to be replaced by the Nikon P340.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/936161-REG/nikon_coolpix_p330_digital_camera.html
It has a wide aperture at its wide angle setting, although it stops down a lot as you zoom in. It will have better image quality than the cheapos.
Amazon has the discontinued S110 marked down to $249.
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-Digital-Camera-3-Inch/dp/B009B0MYSQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-Digital-Camera-3-Inch/dp/B009B0MYLS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
It is reputed to have a faster response than the Nikon, but it lacks as much video resolution. (Canon improves that in the new S120.)
While they last, Adorama has the discontinued Pentax MX-1 for $200.
http://www.adorama.com/IPXMX1SL.html
This camera has a slightly more limited zoom range than the P330 or S110. It does offer a wider aperture at telephoto than the others, and it has a tilting LCD screen. It is reputed to be sluggish at writing files and being ready for the next shot.
Some other possibilities are the Panasonic LX7, and the discontinued Canon G15 (being replaced by the Canon G16). The G15 would be a very, very good choice. Prices have fluctuated. Today I don't see them within your budget at BH Photo, Adorama, or Amazon. Prices may drop again. I think they probably will for the LX7, which I think is still in production. They might drop again for the G15, but they might just sell out at $349.

i want to find a digital camera 4 outdoor night concert starts at 7:00p june 22, 2014 personal dig cam allowed?

Q. Xfinity Center Mansfield,MA Camera Policy: Personal cameras are allowed in the venue. Flash photography, video and removable lens cameras are not permitted without venue approval.

i'm going to a outdoor concert the moument tour fall out boy and paramore and new politics june 22 2014 sunday.

i want one that has good zoom and can take good hd pictures and video. i have seat behind the pit and plus a meet and greet with paramore.

can you give me a several suggestions link me to online stores that sell digital cameras to the pages to the camera that good at taking photo n videos at concerts outdoors or indoors

good at alot of light or low light

link me some good digital cams good fer concerts at the xfinity center mansfield ma. i need one that fit into my pocket or jacket cause.

i dont use back packs im not completely sure what your saying im not a electronic expert. i need options

i had a kodak easy share v570 dual lens worlds first dual lens digital i really want to upgrade to a better newer camera i need help help me point me in the right digital cameras
if you were going to a outdoor concert that starts at 7:00pm and the day is going into night what digital camera would you use at night unless theres alot of lights

A. Now that you are moving your budget out of fantasy land, maybe you can find something.
If it is really important to get your camera allowed for the concert, you can rule out DSLR's or mirrorless system cameras.
Cameras with 1/2.3" sensors will give extra-crappy results in the low light if you can't use a tripod or flash, and you can't.
You are left with the premium compacts that have a little bit better sensors. That means choosing from among these, just to be maybe not bad. Being great isn't an option. That requires the kind of equipment you can't get a pass for and knowing how to use it. You can buy their video for a fraction of the cost of the camera you can buy to try in vain to match it.
http://www.dpreview.com/articles/6489685206/enthusiast-compact-camera-2013-roundup
That's it. If you want something else, then own up to the stated use goal being unrealistic.
Among them, longer focal length can get you a closer view, but it will be a blur unless you have a pretty low f number at the longer focal length, and it can still be a blur if you don't know how to hold it good and steady.
If the goal is to capture yourself and your friends at the event (at last an actual sensible goal!) then you have some very good options among the cameras with shorter zoom ranges.

Digital Camera for wildlife photography help?

Q. I am planing a couple trips in the next year. First trip is to go up to Alaska or Canada and I want to try and get some nice Polar Bear and Musk Oxen shots. Then I am going to be going out to Yellowstone to try and photograph wolves and finally I will be taking a trip to Australia and New Zealand and am hoping to get some great landscape and animal shots. But now I have to figure out what is going to be the best camera for me to get. I have a budget of around $3500.

Right now I am looking at the Nikon D 7100, Nikon D 7000, Cannon EOS 7 D, and Sony Alpha SLT-A77.

I am also then figureing on getting either a 300mm or 400mm lens then buying a 2X teleconverter. I'm trying to do all this for $3500 or less I know its going to be tough. Obviously I can not afford the real nice lenses in the 300mm zoom so how much is this going to affect my quality if I get a little bit cheaper lens? My goal is I want to have nice enough pictures to where I could blow them up and hang them up around my house with out the image getting grainy or fuzzy. I'm looking at blowing them up to 24 x 36 and maybe bigger for landscape shots.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your time.

A. You might get to see these animals, but don't get your hopes up too high. The Nikon D7100 with 18-105mm could be a good choice of camera for most of your shots. A super duper great telephoto to get the kind of shots you are dreaming of will blow your budget. For less ambitious but pretty good shots you could get the Nikon 70-300mm AF-S VR (the good 70-300, not the cheapo). Forget about a 2X teleconverter. The 70-300mm lacks a tripod collar, and it will be front heavy. You will want to bring a tripod. You need to think about what day pack you will carry it in, as the tripod must fit. There are some decent travel tripods. However, the light duty ballhead on some of these may be barely adequate with the 70-300mm. You need to assemble something with a good medium duty 3 way pan head, like maybe the Manfrotto 804RC2 or the Induro PHT2. BTW, if you want to point a panhead higher than about 30 degrees, the trick is to put the quick release plate on backwards.
Which brings us to, when do you expect to do this?
Winter, aurora watching?
You will need serious clothes.
http://www.martingrumet.com/yellowknife01-30-2013-02-2000.jpg
Carry your camera in a padded case with several handwarmer packs. Have an extra charged battery in your pocket. Two layers of glove liners with handwarmer packs inside can probably give you adequate dexterity without freezing your fingers.
Also have a clean, dry cotton handkerchief in the bag to wipe off condensation.
Getting focused in the dark could be a problem. You might be able to lock on autofocus on a distant street light, and switch to manual. Or you could spend more money on an older style AF-D prime lens like a 20mm or 24mm, and be able to dial to infinity in the dark.
For aurora shots set white balance to daylight. Practice with your equipment at home before you go on your trip. Maybe ISO is 800. More gets noisy. Exposure time maybe 20 seconds. More shows star trails. Also the aurora is dynamic, and more exposure makes it look blob like.

Original Question

Which camera should I buy?

Q. I need a really good camera in april (2013), I'm thinking of buying a nikon 1 J1 but I'm not sure, the nikon 1 J2 is too expensive if you look at the differences with the J1 . Shoul I buy a nikon 1 J1? Or is there a better camera in the market which is cheaper or around the same price? It must be digital and have a (not too) big lens. thanks!

A. Look at the Nikon V1. They are ridiculously low priced right now ($299) while stock is left or until Dec 30. If you wait until April 2013, this deal (and all remaining V1s) will likely be gone.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/823590-REG/Nikon_27504_Nikon_1_V1_Mirrorless.html

The original MSRP of $899 for the V1 was way too overpriced, but at $299, it is very attractive.

The V1 is an upscale version of the J1, and may or may not be to your liking, but at the price they are selling for, it is an easy decision. The main differences are that the V1 has an electronic viewfinder, and lacks an internal flash, when compared to the J1. It is also slightly larger and heavier, as it has a larger battery, giving about 25% more capacity. The V1 also has both electronic and manual shutters, whereas the J1 only has an electronic shutter.

Oddly enough, the V1 is priced about $100 less than the least expensive J1 that I can find, but if you buy the optional flash for the V1, it will be about $30 more than the J1.

Some reviews have the J1 with a slightly better image than the V1. I am highly skeptical about that as they are essentially the same camera; same sensor, and same digital processor, same lenses.

The only thing I can fathom is that the J1 has a different set of presets than the V1 (which is the old Canon trick), and/or not every reviewer necessarily knows what they are doing anyway.

There is one under Awboater's Christmas tree.

Is the Panasonic DMC-GF3Kdigital camera?

Q. A good camera for the 4/3 compact digital camera, for casual use or should I consider the Sony NEX-6L/B be a better choice for someone who only takes photos occasionally. an the accessories for a camera such as this, for this type of use, or something better on the market in 2013.

A. It doesn't matter if you takes pictures occasionally or all the time. All cameras have the ability to take good pictures. It's the user's responsibility to make the pictures look good. That depends a lot on his ability.

Both Panasonic and Sony make good cameras. You shouldn't have any problem with any. If you are most concerned about portability, look at the Pentax Q system. It's enough to fit in your hand and still maintain an interchangeable lens system. Pentax, if you're not familiar with it, has very good optical quality.

Good digital cameras for around 100 bucks?

Q. Any recommendations for a camera around this price range? One that takes really good pictures, well as good as it gets for that price range. Thanks
Well it sounds like I would be better off saving my money for something better. I do not wanna spend 100 dollars on something that I will be more than likely be unsatisfied with. So I guess my next question is how much is a nice camera that's not outrageously expensive

A. Well, here is my two cents. Don't buy new. Buy from a highly reviewed seller on Ebay and buy Panasonic.
The older cameras (2011-2013) are just as good as any for an amateur photographer. I would suggest
a Lumix Brand DMC-ZS10, ZS19.. or even ZS3 or TZ5, these are nice cameras. Stay away from the thin and lightweight cameras they tend to brake much sooner. Camera shops see less of Lumix Cameras and
is what I suggest. If you want HD Videos then you will need to get a newer model. Hope this helps.

What is a good camera for a beginning photographer? With a $50-$150 price range?

Q. I'm a college freshmen and photography is my life. I havent taken 1 photography class yet, but will in January 2013. I was looking for a good camera, not to cheap and not to expensive, because I don't like taking pictures with my iPod. Anyone have information, please comment below. thanks!

A. If by photography, you mean taking complete control of the camera, choosing the lens aperture, shutter speed and lens, then the camera that falls into your budget, would be a good used 35 mm SLR. You can find them on craigslist in a city near you for under $100. Nikon and Canon 35 mm SLR cameras are most plentiful and account for over 60% of all dSLR's sold.

With a budget of $50-$150, you cannot find any dSLR camera and digital P&S cameras start at $125.

Here is a link that might help you find a $125-$150

camera package advice?

Q. So im looking at packages such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/T3i-75-300mm-Telephoto-Accessory-Kit/dp/B005KUGXJW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1368422743&sr=8-11&keywords=canon+rebel+t3i+packages
does this look like a good deal? do you know of any packages that come with canon brand accessories? Im looking for stuff under 750$ and want more lenses, filters, a memory card, and possibly a remote. thanks

A. http://www.amazon.com/T3i-75-300mm-Telephoto-Accessory-Kit/dp/B005KUGXJW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1368422743&sr=8-11&keywords=canon+rebel+t3i+packages

This package isn't worth the money. A couple of flimsy tripods I wouldn't trust using with a point & shoot compact digital camera much less a DSLR. Canon's worst lens ever, the 75-300mm. A couple of cheap image degrading screw in attachments. Forget about this so-called deal.

Look at B&H for better deals. B&H has the T3i w/18-55mm zoom lens for $599.00 after a $50.00 'Instant Savings' that ends June 1, 2013. B&H also has a two lens kit - T3i w/18-55mm zoom and 55-250mm zoom - for $599.00 after a $200.00 'Instant Savings' that ends June 8, 2013.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com Just do a search for canon t3i and then make your decision as to which deal is best for you.

Among them, longer focal length can get you a closer view, but it will be a blur unless you have a pretty low f number at the longer focal length, and it can still be a blur if you don't know how to hold it good and steady.
If the goal is to capture yourself and your friends at the event (at last an actual sensible goal!) then you have some very good options among the cameras with shorter zoom ranges.

Professional camcorder 2013?

Q. Hi several years ago, HVR-Z1U was my main camera but since this one is too old and still need to use by film, I wanted to buy professional camcorder. I'm going to buy it in B&H but not sure which one is good choice. the price will be between $2000~3500. Can you show me the recent professional camcorder?

A. Film cameras us film. Once the film is exposed, , in a dark place, the film is removed from the camera and sent in a light-tight container for chemical processing. For editing, a splicer is used. Or, individual frames are scanned (one by on) and digitized for use in a computer editing system. Typically, film cameras do not record audio. Sound is recorded externally.

The Sony HVR-Z1 is a digital camcorder. It record high quality, low compression DV and HDV video to miniDV tape. It is a digital video camcorder. There is no film involved. The Z1 has a built-in mic and also XLR connectors for external mics. It has a 72mm diameter lens and a 3CCD imaging chip that is 1/3".

My definition of "professional camcorder":
Lens diameter 70mm or larger.
Imaging chip is 3CCD or 3CMOS, 1/3 inch or larger.
XLR audio inputs.
Your Z1 meets all these requirements.

In your price range, we have:
* Sony HDR-FX1000 (it is the prosumer sibling to the Z1; uses miniDV tape; has only a 3.5mm stereo audio-in connecter - add a BeachTek or juicedLink XLR adapter is needed).

* The Sony HVR-Z5 (replaced the Z1), PMW160, HXRNX5, all the NEX and NX series camcorders are outside your budget.

* The Canon XF300 series is outside your budget.

* The Panasonic AG-AC series camcorders that meet the above criteria are outside your budget.

* The JVC GY-HM600 might fit your budget.

I think you are better of sticking with the Z1 - unless it is broken.
