Camera

I’m looking to get the CANON EOS 1000D Digital SLR Camera with Canon 18-55 mm EF-S Zoom Lens – 10.1 mp, I only have £400 to spend and this looks like the best camera. Could you review if you have this camera.
Thanks

Here’s a review that hasn’t been given. I own a 1000D and find it a versatile, easy to use, very well built camera that yields superb photos.

I use three lenses with mine, the kit at 18-55, a Tamron 18-200 and a Canon 75-300.

Further review is here. Read my notes please because not all of these were taken with my Canon.
Be aware I’m having excellent luck with night / time exposures, day time colors are brilliant and the camera is very easy and quick to operate – but, you’ve got to read the book and keep it handy for little questions that always seem to come up.

The first 3 shots I took with my Fuji 9000. Good Luck

I got a flip video camera for christmas instead of the nice professional one my mom was planning on getting me I wanted to do serious film projects but I don’t even think I can use Imovie or anything besides the limiting flip editing system which I know is not accurate. . .

Trilobites have unique eyes formed from calcite prisms. I heard a rumor that some of these lenses are so well presevered that they could be used for camera lenses.
I should make clear that I am refering to their fossilized eyes.

Well you could but you don’t normally get that kind of detail and if I recall calcite replacement is not likely to occur for soft parts like eyes. There are some amazing looking trilobite eyes in the fossil record but you don’t as a rule use them for more than studying trilobites. Besides they’re so tiny why would you use them for that? (I’m going for an average trilobite. I know some were larger)

studying photography and I want to buy a film camera SLR, do you know wich kind of camera can I buy. I’m getting started in all of this and in the course it dosen’t really specify wich camera or what type it only wants a film SLR.

get a used canon, nikon or minolta that has autofocus… for a Canon look for any autofocus… for a nikon a N90s… for a Minolta one of the Maxxums… the reason for that suggestion is that in the future if you stick with photography there is no point in having an old film camera that uses lenses that wont work with the digital SLR you will likely buy in the future. Canon and Nikon will be around in the future and more than likely Sony (which uses Minolta lenses) will as well. I don’t see any point in getting a strictly manual camera without autofocus just so you can out grow it and turn it and the lenses that camer with it into paperweights. When looking for those cameras just look for an autofocus that is in decent shape and works… likely any will do even lower end ones…. I’m familiar with Nikon so I can only speak of them from experience and if you get a N90s or even an older N90 either will do anything you might need for a film class and will even give you the option of DOF preview…. I’m sure some Canon and Minolta do but am not familiar enough with the models that would…. I would also say don’t get anything better than a N90x because if you did you would be investing more money in a camera that you wont likely use that much (eventually you’ll go digital).

Don’t listen to those trashing autofocus cameras… the fact is most older used autofocus camera allow complete manual operation including manual focusing…

Digital cameras are two-a-penny nowadays, well not quite, but there are a lot to choose from. The Olympus SP-565UZ has some really nice features that make it stand out. Check out the video review and sample photos at http://geekanoids.co.uk

Don’t be a slave to your tripod. Build this stabilizer and see how much better you photos and video can be. Get professional results. This instructional video shows you how to build your own stabilizer in 5 minutes for less than $1. It is super light weight and folds up small enough to fit in your pocket. With this stabilizer, you can hand-hold your camera with shutter speeds at least 3 f-stops slower than without. It works just as well with video cameras.

I need to find a new digital camera that has a printer dock if possible and takes good pictures and videos. Right now I have a Kodak CX7300 and have read some bad reviews on kodak cameras and their lack of help online. so anyone out there know of any good ones?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Printer docks are something you can buy separately and if the camera is cheap enough it ain’t a big deal. The Canon Powershot and Nikon Coolpix are both good choices. Here are some good solid deals, several including a bunch of extra things: http://www.cameta.com/index.cfm?fa=display.search&page=1&refine=y&Category=Point%20and%20Shoot%20Digital%20Cameras&Price=%24250%20and%20%20%24500

What image formats do digital cameras usually take pictures in?

JPEG in Fine, Medium and Basic Flavors. RAW and som in Adobe RAW which will have a PNG extension on the file

I dropped my camera and the damaged has been done, so I need to buy a new digital camera. I had a "canon sd 700 is", but i want to know if there are good brands out there that have better picture and sound qualities, weighs lighter, long battery life, and reasonable price. The camera I had cost me around 500 bucks before, but for now it is reduced to 300 bucks. I am looking for red-eye-reduction. What is the best camera nowadays and which one would you recommend?

I would recommend Panasonic ZS3 for your budget. It come with good 12x zoom and Panasonic use high quality Leica lens.
