I really want to get into photography, and I finally convinced my parents to let me get a nice quality camera. Obviously it's not going to be THAT nice, since I'm a beginner and I don't want to break their bank account... So could anyone recommend a nice professional camera that's a bit on the cheaper side, and wouldn't be a pain to operate, having no experience? I plan to use the camera for portraits and some horror/macabre stuff. Thanks!


Answer
I would suggest the Canon PowerShot Digital Camera with HD Video Recording. I is a great camera for a beginner with a smaller learning curve.

Along the great quality of pictures the Canon PowerShot A4000IS takes it has other great features as well. It has a large 3 inch screen to really show off the pictures you took and to get the perfect picture every time.

The 8x Optical Zoom (35mm equivalent: 28-224mm) in PowerShot A4000 IS digital camera is the best in the A series from Canon. This gives you a larger opportunity to take pictures from one location. This is perfect for when you can not get too close to the action but still want to get the action in to your photos. Perfect for sports, crowded occasions, or anywhere that you can move into the action to capture your picture.

Two of the best features of the Canon is the Optical Image Stabilizer and the Auto Smart . On my old camera if I was not steady or if my image was not standing still my pictures would come out blurry all too often. Anybody with a small child can tell you that it is not easy to get them to stand or even sit still longer than 2.3 seconds. So the optical image stabilizer is awesome for me to capture him on the go.

Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer corrects the shakiness of your video from handheld camera movements using a lens stabilizer. What this means to you is that you will have great videos without a tripod.

For photos it reduces camera shake and vibration you maintain a sharper, steadier image.

Smart AUTO is an awesome sophisticated Canon technology that makes getting that great shot as simple as pressing the shutter button. Smart AUTO automatically detects certain factors and then adjusts automatically so that you get the best possible image when you are taking pictures. It will also detect and track non human movements such as vehicles and automatically take them out of your picture.

Once you are more experienced then I would move up into a dslr or something similar.

I have about 700 dollars to spend on a camera, but i really dont know what to get. I need something thats easy to use since I am fairly new to filming and editing. It also needs to have a handle to film lines, and a mic would be useful. I would also like to know what would be a good, cheap fisheye to get. Any help is greatly appreciated


Answer
If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lense] which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:

It just came out on November 4, 2008.

It's an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel digital camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization; (ii) HD720 quality video [Quicktime] which permits zooming while videoing skateboarding, action sports; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] "Leica" lense for nature and concert photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a "burst speed" of 13 fps; and sells new for $270 at amazon.com. in the U.S.
