That depends on your budget,
I have a modest Kodak 3.1 megapixel that has digital zoom also & close-up to about 5" to subject & zoom to 2ft from subject, but wish I had got one with macro lens adaptor also for insects etc.
I'm only an amateur though, someone else will have a better opinion,

Depends on how much you want to spend. I have an EOS 300D Canon and a Tamron Macro lens & I'm thinking about a zoom lens will cost more than my camera did. A friend has a Panasonic Lumex which is a very good all-rounder...here's a link to more information about the camera. I hope the link works for you...there are every other brand available on this link so have a good browse.

Inexpensive Digital camera with low shutter lag

Just from my own real life experience as the mother two toddlers, I can tell you I own over $3000 worth of DSLR body and lenses. My best shots of my kids actually come from my Nikon Coolpix S8100 (under $200). I'll give you the lag time is more than my fancy DLSR. And yes, when I have time to pull the DLSR out I can get a much better photograph, but I can stick my Coolpix in any bag I am taking anywhere and it is always with me. So I get all the candids. My DLSR is bulky (and my kids come with enough baggage already. I love my DSLR, don't get me wrong, I have it for many other reasons, but if she is looking for great shots of her child, a fairly easy point and shoot is way more practical. Kalindi

File error on digital camera
Q
Comments (3)
Most likely, the format of the card has been corrupted. The images may or may not be recoverable. If you are lucky, extremely lucky, the only problem may that the last file written to the card is open (not properly closed) and the 'end of file' marker is missing. Depending on what the person at the resort photo desk did, the card may be unaltered, or permanently messed up. Your best bet is to take the card out of the camera and insert into a card reader connected to your computer. If you can view some of the files, copy these to your hard drive or CD. [That's 'copy', not 'move'] Do not perform any operation that writes to the card including delete. This could compromise the format. Many camera makers use a properitery format not understood by conventional PC equipment. To insure the card does not get written to, set its slide switch to 'lock' or whatever verbage they use. With the switch moved to lock, the card can not be written to, only viewed or copied. Be sure to move the switch back before inserting into the camera. After you have copied as many images as you can, clean up the card by formating in the camera. Make several shots and view these in the camera. Erase these shots and repeat. If the card performs well, it is probably ok. However, if it is the least bit flaky or you are not secure with it, discard it and go with a new card. Memory cards have come down in price. Things that can corrupt a card: 1. Pull it out of the camera when it is busy. 2. Pull it out of the camera with the camera 'on'. Many cameras likely provide a safety feature and keep the card closed until needed, but we can not be sure how the operating system si written. To be safe, never insert or pull a memory card when the camera is on. 3. Do not touch the card contacts. Static charges can harm. Also, a fingerprint on a contact may interfere with it making an electrical circuit. 4. Never allow a 'write' operation to the card while in other equipment. Writing to the card may comprimize its format. You might get by with a 'delete', but we can not be sure about this. 5. Old card. These cards do go bad with age. Many of these cards have an internal "keep alive" battery, usually a lithium cell good for maybe 10 years. A tiny amount of charge is required for the memory junctions to retain their state. When the battery dies, the card does too. When you buy a card, look for its date of manufacture or warranty expiration date to get a clue of how old the card is.

Digital Camera questions

Rather than give you a specific make & model recommendation I would rather give you some general information that will help you make the descision as to which camera is best for you. On first inspection all digital cameras, whether they are simple point & shoot or high end professional DSLR's are a bit intimidating because they have all sorts of buttons and drop down menus. DO NOT LET THAT SCARE YOU. All digital cameras, regardless of how big or small have a fully automated mode where you can use it as a point & shoot camera and get perfect results from your first shot and you may be happy using it in that mode for the rest of your life, but I must warn you ahead of time, digital photography is addictive. Once you start getting great point & shoot type pics you will no doubt get curious about what else you can do, from extreme closeups in your flower garden to shooting a bird a 100ft away. And what parent or grandparent doesn't want a few action photos of their little darlings participating in organized sports and such? The point is, you want a camera that won't break the bank to purchase and is ready to go right out of the box, but one that can grow with you as your skills and knowledge improves. Back in the days of film you had two choices, you could get a point & shoot and live with its limitations or you could buy an SLR and had to enter a formal study group to learn how to use it, but such is not the case today. They do still make Point & shoot cameras which typically sell in the $60 to $150 price range, but I would not recommend those. Most of the new point and shoot cameras do not have an optical viewfinder (an eyepiece you look through). Instead, they use what is called "Live view" where the picture is displayed on the lcd screen on the back of the camera. In some circumstances Live view is highly desirable, but live view requires a lot of energy, which dramatically shortens your battery life, and it can be very difficult to see when outdoors in bright sunlight. In addition, most point & shoot cameras have a fixed focal length lens or one that perhaps offers 2x or 3x telephoto, and some offer an additional 2x digital telephoto, but that is only a process where the camera crops your image down. The problem with the digital tele is that as it crops the image down, it is reducing your negative size, which then dramatically reduces the size of quality prints you can expect to get. You could step up to an entry level DSLR but even the basic entry level DSLR's start out at around $500 plus the cost of a lens and they are generally much to bulky for those who want a point & shoot. Fortunaely they make what is known in the industry as "Bridge Cameras" because they bridge the gap between the el cheapo point & shoot and the expensive DSLR. Bridge cameras will generally average about $200 and upwards to $400 but when you see what you get, they are without question one of the best bargains in the industry. Bridge cameras will operate in simple point & shoot mode, requiring no technical skills from the operator, but they also have the full range of shutter speed and exposure controls that are found on the professional DSLR's. Now, while the bridge cameras do have a fixed lens instead of interchangable lenses, they offer some fantastic zoom capabilities on the lenses they have. They will generally all have zoom lens that ranges from wide angle to 6x or 8x and some even have zooms that go as high as 15x or more. The bridge cameras have an optical viewfinder which means when you look in the eyepiece you are actually looking through the camera lens and you are seeing what the camera sees so you need not worry about chopping heads and feet off and some even offer the live view as an option for shooting in dim light or framing a closeup. And while on the subject of closeups, most of the bridge camera lenses also have the macro feature so you can shoot extreme closeups. You mentioned that you want to be able to put your photos on a flash drive. Nearly all digital cameras use SD or SDHC cards for memory. The actual number of photos that you can fit on a card depends upon the size of the card and the size of the files that are created by your camera, but to give you an example, I shoot a Pentax K10d DSLR and when I use an 8gb SDHC card and shoot in the highest quality JPEG mode, I can get 1615 photos on a card, but then I never go in the field with just one card either. I carry four or five spare cards and a minimum of 3 spare Lithium batteries and I can get 700 shots per battery. If I am going for a weekend I also carry my battery charger for the car. To upload your photos to the computer all the cameras have an umbilical cord that plugs into a USB port, but I find it just as easy to pull the memory card and plug that directly into the computer card reader. In a Windows operating system when you plug the card into the computer and box comes up and says it found a memory device and asks you what you want to do, Hit "import photos" and it will automatically upload the photos into "My Photos" on the computer. I then put the card back in the camera and use the camera to format the card, which erases it so I can start over. (You can also pull the card and insert it into one of the photo kiosk machines at your local photo center to select what you want printed.) One thing I would caution you. When you are selecting your new camera find out what type and size of battery it uses. Some of the smaller cameras use a special battery that is designed specific to that camera. If that is the case, you may have difficulty in finding a spare battery, especially in the future. I learned the hard way because I have an older HP point & shoot that has a battery that will no longer hold a charge, but they have discontinued production of that battery. Many of the point & shoot and bridge cameras use AA batteries, which means it is very easy to find replacements and even the rechargeables are not expensive. (I would strongly advise you be sure to get rechargable batteries). If the camera you select uses a proprietary battery find out if that battery is used in other cameras or by other camera manufacturers. If it is in common use by many cameras the odds of it being discontinued any time soon are greatly reduced. Also, if the camera uses a lithium ion battery that is an advantage because Li-on batteries provide much greater power than ni-cads or Nickle-metal halides. When you get your new camera generally they include a simple photo editing program with the camera software disc but I would suggest you also download a free photo editing program from Google, called "Photoscape". Photoscape is a very powerful, yet very user friendly program that is totally free. No spam, no spyware, and none of that 60 day trial nonesense. I have three professional photo editing programs but I find that Photoscape is my basic go to program for all but the most demanding edits. Here is an illustration I made that will give you examples of the different types of cameras...

I am using a Canon SX50 HS. Its a good camera with a lot of features, however, it does have an automatic mode that does fairly well. It zooms 50 to 1. The wide angle may not be wide enough for group shots under 10 feet away. I would be happy if they sacrificed some if the long zoom in favor of a bit wider wide angle. However the lens is very good and its aperture is ok. It zooms from 4.3 mm to 215 mm starting with aperture f/3.4 ending with f/6.5 at the long end of the zoom range. These are respectable numbers. A little wider opening would be nice, but this is a credible accomplishment considering the trade-offs in a compact lens. It is a fast booting camera, about 1 second or less. The auto-focus function is fast compared to competition. It does slow down as the light dims, but as the light dims at some point, a green laser light turns on to help the lens to focus. The user has to keep aware of where this light is on the camera body and not block it with a finger for it to work. Images can be downloaded directly out of the camera, or by removing the SD card and using a card reader. The USB cable is supplied with the camera. The camera's battery should have enough charge to last long enough to transfer a batch of images. In my experience and the number of images I transfer at one time, I find that the battery does not have to be fully charged, although it would be best if it were. Nikon also makes a comparable camera and its sensor may produce a little more pleasing saturation of colors. However, my Canon does an acceptable job on this score. The camera out of the box defaults to its lowest 'film' speed, about ASA 80. During your setup of the camera, this speed can be raised to ASA 100 to 200 without much loss of quality. I recommend using at least ASA 100 to get faster shutter speeds. The lens has 3 modes of focus: off, active only when the release button is pressed half way down, and active all the time. Active 100% of the time increases drain of the battery. I recommend 'active when i press the shutter button half way down. The shutter button has a very light detent at the halfway point. For some users, this may be a problem if your fingers are not steady. To take a picture using the part time mode, press the shutter to the first detent and wait for the lens to focus and then press all the way down. Focusing in good light is rapid. As with any camera, you can not hand hold at extreme zoom and expect to get sharp results. In good light and reasonable shutter speed, you can hand hold up to about 3x zoom. If you are very steady or support your hand with a stationary object, you can hand hold to 4x zoom. A tripod should be used for higher zooms. I like this camera for auto trips because it can be used as a point and shoot camera, or switch to its wide range of features. The zoom lens is like having a bag full of lenses without the bulk. To get better results, one would have to move up to a full frame camera which do not have as much zoom range per lens.

Hi
I have a Sony Cybershot 5.4 mp and 3x zoom. I got it at a model run out price of $399 down from about $650.
I am a complete novice I know nothing about the technical stuff- although I did read about them in Choice magazine-(learning fast) and find the extra pixels to enhance the quality of the picture: especially when you crop a pic and then enlarge it. The quality is fantastic of the enlarged part.
I would recommend this camera but I am no expert. I was told that the camera will see me thru from novice to well experienced without having to upgrade.It has enough megapixels and functions to advance into serious photography.
Be that as it may, I find it a breeze to use, get wonderful pics and with a good software program to enhance/crop etc you can achieve fantastic results.
Good Luck!
cheers

I am a Canon Fan I have had three Canon Cameras in the past 20 years and a Pentex, two have been 35mm.
The last two are digital I started off with a Canon A70 3.2mp ( Out of date now ) A great little camera it does everything you could possibly want, takes short movies, has a optical zoom, dont worry about a digital zoom (mine is switched off) takes good pics in nite time mode, the macro not bad but it wont take a pic of bees wings flapping for that you need something better.

So now I have a Canon 20D with a couple of Lenses as I have always wanted to get a better camera, but like Yvonne said up top it all depends on how much money you have got or want to spend. Canon cameras start at $229 and go to $13.999 so there is plenty there to suit everybody, and as Canon make more cameras than any other company in the world that should speak for itself.

I have seen lots of good pics on the forum but one camera that stood out was the Panasonic Lumix it took good close up and macro with its zoom. What you should do is research I spent six months researching before I bought my first digital camera narrowing it down to three then I looked up all the reviews to see what people that owned them had to say, believe me that helped a lot, no good listening to salesmen at department stores if you want info go and ask at a camera store.

Dont forget to budget for the rechargable batteries and charger and a bigger Media card as the ones that come with the cameras are not big enough.. Hope this helps....Cheers..MM.

Most big stores quoted $399 but we got it at a small store for $339 Plus you need a memory card-around $80 for 512 megs.Also rechargeable batteries and a charger around $50 from kmart.Don't try to use ordinary batteries-I tried eveready heavy duty and got TWO shots LOL!
You can preview your shots on the camera's 2 inch screen and also plug it into your tv-I LOVE that part.
Happy hunting for your camera.

As you can see from my pics, I use Minolta cameras. I have two, Dimage A1 and Dynax 7D. First one is prosumer camera, and the second is digital SLR. I like them both, both have antishake (great for low light and macro photography) but I prefer Dimage A1 just because it's smaller than DSLR. Using A1 I've won a bronze medal on KonicaMinolta sponsored international photo competition.
You can see some samples in my public online gallery (see link below).

I got two great pieces of advice when buying mine - I hope it's useful for you too.

1. Digital cameras are a marriage of two techonologies: cameras and computers. Generally speaking, it is a safer bet to pick a camera brand - eg Olympus - rather than a computer brand that has started making cameras - eg Hewlard Packard. That's because the most important component is the lens, and experienced camera companies will do this better. Like all rules of thumb, there are probably exceptions, but it's a good place to start looking.

2. Don't be taken in by "digital zoom" - it is just what you do on your PC later, basically cropping. Optical zoom is the one that matters.

to all you camera buffs, those photos are tops
My humble cameras are a yashica FX103 which I bought in 1986 Still learning about it, the new one is a digital cannon power shot 2. This digital is 12 x optic a magic happy snaps camera. There are so many features on it I will never get to know all about it or use any where near half of them. The only thing I find that is a slight problem is the close up range is no where wide enough it's 3.6 lenz or there abouts I am considering buying a lense to give it a 2.8 view There is a extra zoom one can buy that will take the zoom up to about 20x optic. This cannon powershot 2 is very easy to use and small and light .
I have not tried taking pic's of bees yet but the zoom is ideal for getting close up shots of wild life from a good distance . The macro is good also but I have not used it that much as I am so bussy taking other photos , many using the long range zoom to get close-ups. I have had the camera since August and I have taken just over 7,000 photos from Brisbane to Cairns west to Biloela, Emerald. Charters Towers, Atherton tableland
I just can't stop taking photos, nearly every day ..then down load them onto DVD and play back on the 107 mm tv .

Well I have said enough here I have got 22 rose bushes they have been photographed many times

Have to back up what Sandie says about the batteries. If you don't get rechargable you need to get the lithium batteries which are fairly expensive so you may as well pay the money and get the rechargable outfit. Mine has a car adaptor so I can recharge when I am out camping.

We bought a panasonic Lumix (just under $400) about three months ago.While I'm definately no expert on this subject, I can at least say that I have personally found it a pleasure to use while also admitting that it has more features on it than I will ever know how to use.Maybe when things slow down in Winter I'll learn more about it.
The advantages of digital cameras are just so great that I can't believe we didn't invest in one earlier.We take a hundred times more photos now than we ever did before.
With the camera we also bought a Varta,15 minute charger, which we are also very pleased with.Happy camera hunting Greencroc.

I have an Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom with 4 megapixels and 10X optical zoom , 40X seamless zoom.
It has so many things on it that I will never get round to understanding or using.
and even though it has a zoom thing in front it is still small enough to have in a large handbag for travelling.
The zoom is good for sneaking up on birds but I haven't worked out the macro zoom yet, One day I will get a bees wings, hopefully.

When it comes to choose a perfect camera, there are zillions things to consider. But one of the most important is: which kind of photography you really like.

Every good digital camera today can handle average shooting conditions with almost no problems, but when it comes to delicate and difficult conditions, your personal preference chooses the right shooter.

For me, it's delicate, low light photography, macro photography and portraits. To find a camera which handles all those situations with no problems was difficult, but I was lucky -- absolutely first camera with body-integrated antishake (optical sensor stabiliser) was introduced by Konica Minolta just few months before I've decided to buy my first digicam.

Antishake solved two big problems:

1. Photography in low light, where I'm now allowed to have 8 times longer exposures than with some other digital camera (hey, 8 times longer exposure is a BIG number! it makes impossible shots now possible!). I'm able to take shots with 1/13 sec exposure and they're perfectly focused. For a normal camera, it's hard to get a perfect focus even with 1/60 sec. This is a big plus for antishake.

2. Macro photography -- new camera helped me neutralise hand shake and thus made macros always perfect. You all know how macro photography is actually difficult -- you do have to have a mini tripod, lots of patience, great light source and so many impossible things around you.

But with this camera it doesn't matter any more to me how I breathe and how I hold the camera .. and I don't need a tripod, because hand-held macro shots are almost always perfect. Also, for just few bucks, you can buy on the eBay some macro filters. They're great, because that's an inexpensive way to transform your already great macro performing camera into a formidable macro beast -- when you attach them to your lenses, macro filters reduce camera's focusing distance by factor of 2, 3 or 4 (for example) so now you're able to focus on bee's wings just 10 cm away or even closer!

To do the same thing with some DSLR camera you have to spend at least $1500-2000 (camera body plus good macro lenses plus good macro flash).

So, at the end of my story, I advise you: first be sure what you want to do with your camera and then try to find out what's the best solution for you. Never listen to the salesmen -- they will sell anything, just to get rid of the stock behind the counter. Investigate first, browse through all camera brands and check how much you can spend. How much you get for the money? What are the unique cool capabilities of your camera? Is it easy to use? Is it well made (i.e. is it made of plastic or some metal alloy)? How much freedom and versatility it gives you in your photography, what picture file formats it supports (for example, does it support RAW?), can you attach external flashgun onto it, which shooting modes it supports (for example, is it fully "automatic" and full of predefined program...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ1 is so damned easy to use.
I have never been good at taking pics but this one makes me look good.:)
It does have the anti shake feature-it is one of the many options you can choose for each mode.
All the different 'modes' are on a simple dial-I use macro mode for most of the stuff I shoot-including roses,bees and assorted bugs.
Once you select your mode it is point and shoot-it really is that easy to use-no tripod needed.
One thing I have adjusted is the 'white balance'I moved it into the blue end as on the neutral setting the reds flare.
The pic size is HUGE-the bee is full size but cropped-it makes about 10% of the original pic size.
This Dragonfly pic....
{{gwi:2115403}}
Has been reduced in size to around a third of original size-loses something in the translation but I couldn't post it full size.I even had to reduce it substantially to fit my computer screen for wallpaper.
I am so RAPT in this camera-it enables a complete novice like me to pretend that I am a GREAT photographer. :)
The User manual is great and easy to understand too.
Explains all modes and features and how to adjust everything to suit your needs.

One of the main differences between Tom and Sandie's pictures is the background. Notice that Toms background doesn't detract from the object whereas in Sandies its fighting to be noticed? Did any of you check that link I gave you? Every camera ever produced is accessible on that link.

Yvonne,
that's difference you see is caused by my manipulation of a camera in Aperture Priority mode. Picture was taken with Minolta A1, which you can buy now for AUD $500-700. When shooting in Aperture Priority, and I want blurry background, I select widest possible aperture for the shot (f/2.8), and that gives me that beautiful blurry background (out of focus area). Wider the aperture, less background is in focus.
All the same, if I want more of the background in focus (for landscape photography, for example), I'll rather select smaller aperture (f/11 or f/22) so almost whole scene, both foreground and background, will be in perfect focus.
I believe Sandie can do the same. I suppose Panasonic Lumix supports Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Full Manual modes. In any case, I strongly recommend anyone to get a camera that has all those shooting modes.

None of them are worth JS if they are not colour accurate. Number 1 priority if you want to photograph plants is COLOUR accurate cameras. Everything else will be a bonus. Also go for a camera that has Adobe colour option, its the trick to getting nice reds.

I'm glad you enjoy browsing through Tom, I enjoy it all very much.

So glad you've got your new camera Greencroc - they are time-wasters as you'll soon discover! I look forward to seeing some of your photos in the near future!
