I'm looking to buy a simple 8 mega pixel point and shoot in either a Sony or Cannon powershot model.
I've noticed some cameras have a tiny glass box in them where the lens sits inside the camera and doesn't come out when u turn it on.
Do lenses like this have a big impact on picture quality or zoom quality, etc opposed to cameras where the lenses come out of the middle of the camera???
Any other tips, buying info or experiences with point and shoot cameras would greatly be appreciated!!!!
I'm looking for canon photography camera which you can change the lenses for a reasonable price. but I want it to be good enough quality I could possibly use it for engagement/senior pictures professionally!
cheapest at the top and most expensive (and professional) at the bottom I would say -
Canon EOS 500D
Canon EOS 550D
Canon EOS 7D
Canon EOS 5D mark2 (uses professional lenses designed for full frame sensor cameras)
I would recommend either of the top two
The main differences are in terms of resolution (which affects image quality when the photo enlarged), the size of the viewing screen on the back of the camera and the build quality of the camera.
The 5D mark 2 is a genuinely professional camera capable of very impressive results – although it's probably more than you are willing to pay.
The 500D is very good quality and will give you good results. My advice is to pick up and examine both the 500D and the 550D and see which you prefer.
I have the Canon 450D/XSi and it's a great camera! you have to learn to use it to get good results, but for the price the image quality is excellent! Besides the lens that comes with the camera (EF-S 18-55m) a 50mm lens is worth buying (EF 50mm f/1.8 or EF 50mm f/1.4, depending on your budget).
Go for a T1i or a T2i. The Xsi is a good camera but it;s getting old. The leap friom Xsi to T1i is just too great.
