Ok there are so many brands out there from Olympus and Canon to Sony and Pentax so just wondering what people think are the best camera on the go??

Personally at the moment I'm working with a Canon Powershot S3 since I'm only starting out but I will be upgrading soon enough and will definitely be going with somethin with changeable lenses for a start, probably go to an olympus E500 or somethin along those lines.

But what do pople think are the best and in their experience what works and what doesn;t?

Hi Simon,

You are right when you say that there are so many brands out there. This makes it all the more confusing for anyone looking to buy. Your best bet is to go a camera shop and have a try of a few different models/brands. I recommend Bermingham Cameras on Burgh Quay. I have been going there for years.

As for brands some people prefer Canon, others Nikon. Either of the two brands would be a good choice. As for pixel count anything around the 10mp mark will be good enough for most users. Personally I am a Nikon user and I have been for many years, thats just my preference. At the end of the day whatever brand you go for is up to you. The important thing is to feel comfortable with the camera and that it does what you want it to do.

Best of luck with it.

For me the best camera (in digital) is the one who offers best in value, best in lens (high quality images), high quality images produced by sensors, best service support by supplier and best availability. My favorite lenses are nikkors and pentax lenses.

Like I said at the moment I'm using a Canon but for me personalyl it'd have to be either Canon or Olympus. I just thought I'd start this thread up to see what people are using and what they consider. Figured it could also be good for aspiring photographers to get an idea what to look out for in a good camera

To Mr. Larry F if you are referring to me actually i use Canon because it falls the categories that i have said, but still i love the kick of Nikkor and Asahi lenses. When you buy cheap Canon lenses images are also really cheap but not with Nikkors and Asahis. I considered Canon for its value, durability, lesser noise, service support and availability here in the Philippines, but the lens again i consider nikkors and asahis although Canons L series lenses are very good.

1. What can you afford.
2. how versatile is the camera (interchangible lenses).


After that it is a matter of shooting and learning as you shoot. If you can afford it a cheap DSLR is better than a really good point and shoot simply because it expands your future capabilities if you need a longer or wider lens.

As far as interchangeable lenses go. I use canon but would perfer Nikon. The Nikon lenses do not fit my canon. I think Nikon uses superior glass.

I noticed you said you used Canon DSLRs, Larry. It is not impossible to mount Nikon glass on a Canon EOS camera, you merely lose all electronic connections and have to focus manually, set f-stop on lens and set camera on Tv for shutter control--back to good old days.

In fact you can get interchangible adapters for all sorts of glass, including Zeiss, Contax, Leica R, etc. One place is, I think, called CameraVillage on the net, but for sure if you do a search for Voigtlander lenses, you find the site that sells the best adapters.

Cindy,

One of mine is an 8.2 megapixel and it does fine. In fact, I've taken shots with older cameras that were only 4 MP in size that I was able to print to 19"x13" without detectable digital artifacts. Included here is a web-sized sample of what the Canon 1D can do at 4 MP.

And the following was shot with a Canon G2 point and shoot, also at 4 MP, but if you look close you can see a jagged edge to the neckline of one of the dresses, so all megapixels aren't equal.

There's lots of options for cameras, you could check out Phase One, Sinar or Leaf if you are into high end digital work.

Actually, if you want high end, the new Hasselblad line will meet any superpro's needs.
