Apple iPhone 4 cameraApple’s smartphone darling–the iPhone 4–is fast becoming one of the most popular cameras in the world. this is due in part to the image quality of its camera and to the photo software available for it (including Instagram, a photo filter app that simplifies sharing your photos).

Not surprisingly, the iPhone 4 recently ranked as the most popular camera on photo-sharing site Flickr: iPhone users upload almost 80,000 pictures a day there.

If you want to take your iPhone photography as far as it can go, here are four interesting camera accessories that can assist you in getting there.

Android users suffering from lens envy have a few options of their own. one is the three-pack of specialty lenses from Photojojo, which the retailer promises will work with any camera phone.

Here are some accessories that work only with the iPhone.

I've been wanting a camera for a long time, and this summer I think I'll finally get one. But my budget is not substantial, so I'd like a camera which costs around 3-400$ (well, 400 is too much really) and, if possible, which doesn't require too many expenses after the purchase (like for memory cards, lenses etc.). I've seen some reviews about Canon A710, G7, S3 IS, A640, but since I don't know too much about cameras, I can't choose. so, my question is… do you have a specific digital camera to recommend? and, of course, if you want to recommend one of the cameras I've mentioned, what makes that one the best choice? Should I give attention to certain details?
I should mention that I want to take good quality photos of things situated at both close and long distances. and I also intend to take many nocturnal photos, and photos at parties, concerts etc. Universal camera, hah.
Please help me sort out this great confusion I'm dealing with . Any help is appreciated.

hi…go to this site…it has all the digital cams, with pictures, and all the tech spec on each one…sure you can find one there…and, if you decide to it is the cheapest and best place on the net to get one…quick delivery and safe to pay as well, as i have used it myself…got my very compact, smallest one in fact, BenQ cam from there.

If you want to take quality pictures then make sure your camera has around 5 or 6 megapixels. Cameras these days can do a lot more than what they used to…so definately make sure they have PLENTY megapixels. Also if you want to take long distant pictures then make sure they have long zooming in and out. the cameras I recommend are Canon Powershots(the newer ones)…they are great and take descent pictures. I also like Sony Cyber Shot cameras! those are my favorite. They take GREAT pictures!! Well I hope this helps!!

I have a Canon Elph SD700IS, and even though it is small it takes such amazing pics that I gave away my other cameras (incl an SLR). You really do not need more than 6MP, and in fact too much is no good. so I would recommend a Canon ELPH or Powershot.

My answer to you is same as Chritian. Sony CyberShot DSC-H2. It's not a camera you can add lenses to. It's not a slr.it DOES take quality photos with plenty of zoom. You are talking about $280-. Check out Website dpreview.com

Hmm… to be honest, I can suggest any camera, but I'd rather suggest a good site to find one (you can also find based on your budget).

A cool site would be steves-digicams.com.

But then again, if you don't really want much of the details, I'd say you can act'ly go with the Canon Powershot A460. It's a bit cheap, and the review (from Steve's Digicam) is good. It's 5.0 MP (which should be the least MP size you should consider), allows you to print directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer, a decent scene modes (for the modes you mentioned — landscape, night shots, etc).

Or you may go with a prosumer camera. this is a camera that's comes between a point-and-shoot camera (like the Canon A460) and DSLR (or what amateur-pros may use, you can change the lens with this). a prosumer camera usually have the best features of a point-and-shoot and some of the DSLR, except that the lens for prosumer camera is fixed. I myself have a Sony Cybershot DSC-H series camera, which allows me to do all the shots you mentioned and more. the H2 is priced at less than $400 (you can also see the review in the website I mentioned). What's nice about the prosumer cameras, is that some manufacturer allow you to add accesories like filters, teleconverter lenses, macro lenses to extend the capability of the camera. although some point-and-shoot also have them. the DSC-H2 is a 6.2MP camera, while its slightly higher sibling, the H5 is 7.x MP. a new one is coming out this year, H9 which I believe will have more features.

Just don't be in a hurry, study the different cameras and the things needed to go with them.
Then…
Go look at photo sharing sites to see the actual results from the cameras themselves. Many sites will tell what camera is being used for each photo, or just ask them.
I found that looking at photographs taken by average people much more telling than those taken by professionals.

pbase, Webshots, Snapfish, photobucket, Flickr, Fredmiranda, are popular sites

But you must choose your own.

All canon EF lenses are compatable with all EOS bodies, digital or film.

Some bulky lenses with control knobs like the TS-E 17, 24, 45 & 90 will foul with the lower end cameras flash in the rest position, but they will still mount and operate.

Beware, as canon also make EF-S lenses, and these will only physically mount on the following digital EOS cameras such as the digital rebels, 20d /30d/ 40d/ 50d & the 7D.

EF-S lenses will not physically mount on any of the 1D series or 5D series EOS cameras.

Third party Canon AF or Canon EF lenses will mount on any EOS body but some older thrid party lenses may not focus, allow aperture control, or may freeze the camera.

All Canon DSLRs are compatible with all EF-mount lenses. EF-S lenses are another story. Only Digital Rebels (EOS xxxD or xxxxD), the 7D and xxD models from the 20D forward are EF-S compatible.

Only with Canon EOS (SLR) Cameras. you can learn a lot on the Canon website. There are learning modules in the left column on some pages:

Yes, EF lenses are compatible with ALL Canon EOS dSLR cameras. EF-S lenses are ONLY compatible with Canon EOS dSLR cameras with an APS-C (1.6x) sensor.
