Any opinons on the Nikon coolpix s710 14.5 mp digital camera?

AESA

Any thoughts or experiences with this camera would be appreciated :)
Just want to know if it is a good buy

Answer
I think this is the camera i'm going to get. It has a larger sensor than most point an shoot digital cameras, has 14 megapixels( even though that's kind of overkill), a wide angle lens, and has aperture and shutter speed priority along with letting you go fully manual. Most digital camera don't have aperture and shutter speed priority especially in the compact size the nikon comes in. It also has a very high iso ranging from 80 - 3200 and even 6400 and ISO 12800. I don't know if the pictures will be unusable at such a high iso but still I dont know any other point and shoot camera that can go that high. And it has the Nikons New expeed image processing. Overall I think it looks like a pretty nice camera.

Another camera i'm looking at though is the canon powershot SD990 Is.

Which company for a camera, Canon or Sony?

ViBoo

I'm thinking about a new camera, I have a Sony Cybershot right now. But people say Canon has better cameras. Which one is better, Canon or Sony? And do you guys recommend any models?
I'm looking for a Sony or Canon Digital Camera !

Answer
If you're looking at an SLR then Canon is an obvious choice with their lens variety, features and overall reliability.
If your looking at a compact camera then Canon has some really good cameras on the market, although i have never used a Sony Compact so I wouldn't know.
But a Canon 1000D, 400D or even 450D would be an exceptional choice if you're looking at an SLR. Even an entry level Nikon will do you good, like a D60 for instance. You can pick one of them up with a lens kit for around $800 (US) if you look hard enough.

Canon t3i lens?????????

Damien

I purchased this camera yesterday and it came with a 18-55mm lens. It cost me 750 dollars. I am thinking of returning it and exchanging it for a canon t3i but the lens will be 55-250 mm for 950 dollars. What's the best deal? I am a amateur @ this. This is my first dslr. What is the difference in the lens? What makes a lens better then others? TY

Answer
Don't waste your time, the shop's time and your money.
Just buy the Canon EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS that you will find for under $200

eg
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-55-250mm-4-5-6-Stabilizer-Telephoto/dp/B000V9D5LG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1343117404&sr=8-2&keywords=canon+55-250

That way you have a T3i with both lenses for $920.
BTW the 55-250 is a great lens but is way too long for many purposes. I have this lens and it is used for maybe 10-15% of my shots.

Canon rebel telephoto lens?

Douglas

I've got a Canon Rebel T3i and i'm wondering what is a good telephoto lens for a hobbyist. I take a lot of nature and landscape photography and can never seem to get close enough with a good quality. I'm looking for something between $100-$400 range. I know it's not a lot considering the prices of some of these lenses! Any help would be great!

P.S. has anyone had good luck with ordering lenses off sites like amazon or ebay?

Thanks!

Answer
In your price range:
Canon EF-S 55-250 IS f/4-5.6. Great image quality but focus can be a little slow in low contrast.

Canon EF 70-300 IS f/4-5.6 USM. - a little longer than the above but in real life barely noticeable. More robust construction - but more expensive.

Lens to avoid is the Canon EF 75-300 f/4-5.6 is easily confused with the 70-300. This lens is a shame on Canon - I really don't understand why they still sell it!

Amazon is about as risk free as you can get and I buy from them regularly.
Ebay is a little more risky. Select your supplier carefully to avoid getting stung. I have bought some very good used equipment from private sellers on Ebay.
