I really want to buy a new camera. I am not a professional photographer (obviously) I do like to take picks and will be taking some classes for photography in the near future. I am very serious about getting into this. I take pictures of my kids all the time and a friend has asked me to shoot her wedding in August. My limit is 1200$.
Answer
In new cameras, look for a viewfinder (LCD invisible in bright sun), optical (not CCD) image stabilizer, and check battery prices. High mega pixel settings take longer to process and may not be needed unless required for very large pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches.

Just saw this Canon A590IS camera at Best Buy and Radio Shack. Think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has a viewfinder, optical image stabilizer, auto focus, and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries.

For expanded wide angle or telephoto capabilities, the A590 IS is compatible with Canon's accessory lens adapters: A small button next to the lens bezel is actually a latch; press it and you can remove the bezel ring, exposing a bayonet mount for accessory lenses. Canon offers the WC-DC52 0.7x wide-angle lens, the TC-DC52A telephoto lens, the 250D 52mm closeup lens separately, along with the LA-DC52G adapter to mount them on the camera. (Note that the wide, tele, and macro lenses all need the LA-DC52G adapter to mount them to the camera. The lenses won't work by themselves.)
There is no one particular place to get great buys, but you may see something above that really helps you find the best buy. Click on the second link in the information above for an example then search for your camera of choice at the upper left. Camera prices at this link change often.
There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.
What gives a camera its picture quality?
The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust 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 great pictures.
Lots of great camera tips in this link.

My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7 x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.
Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Once you select a camera, read all about it in the owner's manual. You can view owners manuals at this link, but will need to Login. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera ...

What camera lens is best for pet photography?
blanco
I love the photography on this website: http://www.shinepetphotos.com
Can you tell me what lens she uses?
Does she increase the exposure?
Does she blur out the edges of the photo using photoshop or is it done with the camera?
How can I achieve the same look with a Canon XSI?
Answer
The photographer is using all different focal lengths. If they have been shooting since they were a kid then they probably have an arsenal of lenses. According to her blog she is currently using the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Now that the digital market has matured and prices have fallen I think you will find most pros making the transition to FF. Your client deserves it.
I would guess that she is commonly using a 24-70mm f/2.8 and a 85 f/1.8. Perhaps the occasional 50mm f/1.4
She is blurring and vignetting digitally but she is doing it in camera as well. Depending on the look she is after.
