Help! What type of digital camera should I get?  |
|
I don't really want a brand, unless you highly recommend a certain one. What I'm really looking for are the "specs" that I should require from the camera that I choose. I am fairly new to computing in general so I would appreciate layman's terms (or even more dumbed-down if you must). Be gentle.LOL I have never owned a digital camera and therefore it's all new to me.
I am looking at using a camera to take photos of crafts (generally small objects) that I would like to sell on etsy.com.
If you've used your camera in such a way, or are just one of those "photo bugs", then I would appreciate any comments here.
Thanks, mylotters!

2. mom4kids (525) | 1 year ago | I have an HP digital camera. I love HP camera's as they are simple point and shoot and not too hard to use. Mine has a close up setting and a super close up setting that would be great for pics of your crafts. Whatever you get just make sure there is a setting for close up shots.

4. doubleloveyou (836) | 1 year ago | I bought my daughter a camera for her birthday. It is a little kodak easy share. Was not real expensive, but it takes some GREAT photos. C613 was the model number I believe. I know you were looking for specs but I know that camera is great. Here is the specs 3x zoom 6.2 megapixel.

rocketj1 (2211) | 1 year ago | I was wondering about megapixels. Is the bigger the number, the better? Thanks!

doubleloveyou (836) | 1 year ago | Yes. It is basically the number pixels per sq unit. The pixels the better the quality. Especially if you are digitally zooming in your picture. On the flip side, the more pixels, the more dosk space it takes.

5. change1life (1163) | 1 year ago | I have a simple HP Photosmart digital camera that takes great pictures and is easy to use. It has built in zoom and it was inexpensive in comparison to others of the same type. If you are just starting out with a digital camera this would be a good beginner model. It was my first and I love it! I plan to get a new one in the next year or so and the only thing different will be the number of pixels. My son wants my old one so I am going to pass it on to him. He can do all kinds of neat stuff with it. He makes little videos and puts them on the computer. I think it is pretty cool! Hope this info was useful! Be Blessed!:)

7. PrarieStyle (1140) | 1 year ago | If you want pics of crafts and small objects you want to find a camera that has as many mega pixels as you can get. The more mp, the more clear the pic will be. 7 or more is the best in my opinion.

Davidarich (766) | 1 year ago | Be careful about the pixel count. More pixels do not necessarily mean better photos. On cameras with small sensors, high pixel counts equate to "noisy" images... they don't look good!

8. alphason (169) | 1 year ago | I think to many people now get caught up with figures for digital cameras, obsessed with the number of pixels for example. Really anything of 4/5 Mega pixels is perfectly god enough for producing god sized photographs.
I would really recommend you consider the actual lens of the camera, so often this is overlooked in favour of the digital processing specs.
A good range to look at is Panasonic's Lumix range, with the exception of those at the lowest end of the price range they all use the fantanstic Leica lenses. Leica is a very long established German camera lens manufacturer, google them and take a look.
Having 10 MP with a poor lens will not give you as good results as a 2MP with a good quality lens.

9. VE3IYB (169) | 1 year ago | I am not sure about your area of the country but, around here you would be hard pressed to find a digital camera below 8 Megapixel these days! Some of the Digital SLR Cameras are now over 12 Megapixel here! As others have said, for your application 5 Megapixel or more is probably a bit over kill but technology marches on.

10. Denise_Tung (348) | 1 year ago | Hi, I can a canon E750 but I will not recommend that one becasue it is just so common. My boyfriend got a SONY and it is also ordinary. Then I used Nikon once and I compared the pics we take. Wow, Nikon is the one. It really takes ptotos that are so natural and real, and the color is good as well. I use digital camera only to take sceneries but seldom sth very samll, so I am not sure which spec will fit your need specially, but I think Nikon is a good brand and you can find the one you need in their products.
