Best Canon Digital Cameras Reviews

Executive summary article By Roberto Sedycias

If you have only a limited budget, Canon has what, as recently as three years ago would have been unthinkable, a 12 megapixel (MP) point-and-shoot camera (you aim, compose on the 2-inch or so screen and shoot), for under $150, its ELPH 300 HS 12.1 MP (available online right now on Amazon), available in black, silver and red. One feature that attracts many buyers to Canon products is its electronic stabilization feature.

With stabilization, offered in the Power Shot 10MP Digital with 3.8x zoom (wide angle), you can zoom right into your subject and click. The EOS that I used offered that feature on Canon lenses. If you have a bit more in your gift fund and know a photographer who would appreciate a very nice DSLR, the Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR, the one I used to shoot with, has fallen to the amazing price of $449 on Amazon with the Canon 18 to 55 autostablizing zoom lens. This beauty actually shoots at 12.1 MP, offers autostablizing, a 14X optical zoom system and it is ready to handle not only your single-shot, but video needs.

There are so many Canon cameras to choose from. But how do you find the best Canon digital cameras for you? You can buy compact cameras or DSLR's from Canon. Canon DSLR's are named with the suffix 'EOS', for example the Canon EOS 550D. The first EOS digital camera that Canon turned out was the D30 back in 2000. There are also lots of great compact cameras made by Canon.

Find the best Canon digital cameras by choosing which category to look in.

Look for a good ISO range and good performance at the higher settings. Do you enjoy wildlife photography? More and more cameras enable this.

1. Compacts. The best Canon digital cameras in this category are increasingly excellent quality. I personally really like the Canon Powershot SD 4000 IS. It has a 10MP sensor, large range of focal length and strong build quality.

2. Beginner DSLR. Maybe you need to produce images with better detail for larger prints. Canon offer several excellent models.

Personally I think the Canon EOS 550D is a great all-rounder. It has a very large 18.7 MP sensor which can turn out highly detailed prints suitable for large format printing. The light metering is accurate making it easy to take good pics and the large ISO range opens up low light photography for you very nicely.

3. Prosumer DSLR. A good example would be the Canon 40D. It's very popular and offers photography enthusiasts an excellent quality camera. 4. Professional DSLR. The very best Canon digital cameras belong in the professional category and provide amazing quality and specifications. Only purchase a camera like this if you will definitely use and enjoy it.

Small Digital Camera Reviews

Executive summary article By Dale Preece-Kelly

Digital cameras are now common place, nearly every household has at least one. Due to the problems encountered with our old camera, I found myself taking more and more photographs using my cell phone! My cell phone does have a good camera and takes better close up photographs than my old digital camera, a lot of my recent photographs have needed to be close up shots of small things. Hence the decision to buy a new camera.

It has to be a compact digital camera for that kind of money and we tried several. The shop that we used was very helpful allowing us to try each camera in our price range to see how easy they were to use, to see the quality of the photographs that the cameras could take and to feel the quality of the device that we were purchasing. All of the cameras offered were on sale at £50-£60 - reduced from their original prices.

I took photographs with all of the cameras that were withing our price range - an Olympus (10 Megapixel), a Samsung (10 Megapixel) and a Rollei (8 Megapixel). I took general photographs and full zoom photographs to check on quality, especially looking at graining on the full zoom photograph, as I use the zoom function a lot when taking photographs.

The camera still had the delay on it, just like our outdated one, but the quality was excellent as was the build quality. I had never heard of these cameras before, they are a little known German make. The build quality did not feel too good - the camera felt "plasticy" and delicate. The camera was of excellent quality and felt expensive, it was easy to use and there was little delay between shots. The camera has been excellent. It takes both photograph and video footage.

The menu when in camera mode is simple and self explanatory. The downsides with this camera are: the delay between taking images (a green LED flashes until it is ready to take the next image), the "instruction" book that comes with the camera is very basic and therefore you have to "Play" with the camera to figure out how it works, the USB cable - if this one gets lost, I would not be able to get a replacement easily and the "plasticy" feel of the camera.
