I want to buy a new digital camera and I have read a lot of things on camera in this forum and digital camera resource page (I can't create an account because I don't have a paid email). I still have problem finding the right camera for me...
I need your help. I'll take out the questionnaire from the digital camera resource page to give you guys a good idea on what camera I want. My answer is in red.
Budget
* What budget have you allocated for buying this camera? Please be as specific as possible.
200 to 400$
Size
* What size camera are you looking for? Or does size not matter at all to you?
Something small and kinda light so I could carry everywhere with me without bothering me.
Features
How many megapixels will suffice for you?
I'll mostly put pictures in an album photos and on computers... I don't need more than that but would like it to be in a good quality picture.
* What optical zoom will you need? (None, Standard = 3x-4x, Ultrazoom = 10x-12x, Other - Specify)
standard 3x -4X. I don't know what this do mostly if it will still take good picture.
* How important is “image quality” to you? (Rate using a scale of 1-10)
8
Do you care for manual controls?
What is manual and auto control exactly? It would be nice to have both auto and manual...So I could try...
General Usage
* What will you generally use the camera for?
Travel, people, landscape, nature in general, things,etc... All occasion camera.
* Will you be making big prints of your photos or not?
Mostly non... It could be useful one day... One day.
Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos?
both
Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos?
mostly action photos
Miscellaneous
Are there particular brands you like or hate?
I heard Canon,fuji, Nikon,Hp... I don't like or hate. Just want a good camera that will last me for a long time.
Are there particular models you already have in mind?
Canon and fuji, I don't mind
(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? (Wide Angle, Image Stabilization, Weatherproof, Hotshoe, Rotating LCD)
Wide angle,image stabilization, it would be nice if it's weatherproof but I don't think I'll need it and the rotating LCD (is it a mode that I can turn the picture in the way I want? I don't understand this one.)
Oh yeah.. Another thing, I would like it to take good picture indoor in low light. Outdoor would be nice too.
Thanks =)
