Good DSLR camera for Europe?

Q. I will be going to Europe (Paris and Spain) for school next spring break in 2013. I want a good quality DSLR camera for the trip and for later use. It will be a present either for graduating or Christmas so I can go up to $900. Anyone know any good ones?

A. I would recommend the Pentax Kr . This camera comes with a 28-to-55mm lens. And a 50-to-200mm lens when sold in kit form. I highly recommend buying the camera "and" 50-200mm lens together. I purchased the previous model (Kx) which came with only the 28-55mm. And I bought an off brand lens 28-200mm, that was a mistake! So if a DSLR is your hearts desire buy it with both lenses together. It will be cheaper in the long run. My first thought with your question, is does this person really need a Digital Single Lens Reflex or is he just responding to the questions on this forum where some of the "die-hard" pro's recommend DSLR's as the only type of camera to own. So with that in mind let me throw out some thoughts for you to ponder.
1. If you want an excellent camera that takes needle sharp photos, there are many "bridge" cameras that take excellent pictures, but have only one zoom lens which does it all, from close-ups to long telephoto shots. It seems to me it would be easier to tote this type than a camera with extra lenses, and accessories. I am referring to a camera like the Canon Powershot series "SX ?? IS. The current one is the SX40 IS, But previous models may be available used at attractive prices, those models are the SX30IS, the SX20IS, and the SX10IS. Remember these cameras cannot change their lens. You have to be satisfied with the lens that comes with the camera.

Good Luck!


Kodak Easyshare camera will not charge?
Q. My Kodak Easyshare will not charge brand new battery and using my ac charger, the light blinks a few seconds and then goes off it will not charge enough to bring the lens back into place. Does a ac charger go bad ive had this camera for appr 5 yrs? Ive tried plugging it into different outlets and it still will not make the green light stay on. I love this camera and really would like to know if its worth saving.
Duracell still sells the batteries for the Kodak Easyshare which i recently bought directly through their online store. So it doesn't appear to be the battery it was working fine up until a couple days ago.

A. Chargers can and do go bad over the years, but the more likely suspect would be the camera's battery. You'll have a tough time getting support for your 5-year old Kodak Easyshare, as Kodak got out of the digital camera business and went through bankruptcy.

In my humble opinion, it's time for a new camera, and from a more reliable brand such as Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony, Fujifilm, Samsung, etc. Avoid Kodak, Vivitar, and any camera you'd find in a blister pack hanging on a peg at Walmart.
