You want something "more complex detailed" - doesn't that mean a BETTER camera than what you already have?
As usual, you get what you paid for.
You can find a tiny little P&S for under $ 100, but you don't get any manual controls with it, so you'll never really be able to learn much about photography with it.
You need to work out your priorities first - super cheap or useful?
I would suggest this one: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=17630

Judging from your question, it sounds like you want to move from a beginner camera to an intermediate camera while saving money at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe newly introduced Canon PowerShot SX10IS is your best choice. The SX10 is what photographers call a “bridge” camera, meaning it’s more advanced than a basic compact camera, yet not as advanced as a high priced Digital SLR equiped with expensive lenses.
The Canon SX10 boasts 10 Megapixels, a 20x IS (Image Stabilized) Optical Zoom, a 52mm lens thread for adding Filters and a Hot Shoe for adding optional Flash units.
I always shop at Amazon or B&H Photo Video because they have excellent customer service and wonderful return policies.
Here's the link to the Canon SX10IS on Amazon.com:

Canon Powershot A590IS is a good choice
ReplyDeleteThanks
You have to answer the what is cheap... because we don't know your budget!
ReplyDeleteTo me, cheap.. is two options...
1) Nikon D40 SLR digital, Probably $ 500. But you can do EVERYTHING you want with it - totally manual, to totally automatic. The lens that comes with the kit.. you can't get any higher quality - it's superb. The lens I got with my $ 1,500 D200 was crappier than the one that came with the D40. Good camera and great lens. If you get this, spend a bit extra on a UV plain filter to keep the lens clean and scratch free. Cheaper to replace a filter than the entire lens.
2) Next step down would be a point and shoot. Canon Powershots are the best in the point and shoot world. Quick to respond and the clarity, sharpness, and exposures without thinking are amazingly good for a point and shoot. I think they're $ 200 or a bit more? If you just want something for getting quality still shots on the go... this is your camera. Anything less in price... just keep shooting with whatever you have now or your camera phone.
Also, the D40 is going to be bulky compared to the Canon Powershot point and shoot (it is an SLR - with detachable lenses). BUT the D40 is a VERY VERY light camera for a digital SLR. I mean REALLY light. Small too. Compared to other digital SLRs. Many people say how great it feels in the hands and that no other SLR felt so comfortable. Me.. I have very large hands, so it's tiny for me.
All shots on my web site were taken with a D40. I bumped up to the D200 now after a year of photography, but there isn't a huge difference in the output quality.. just in what and how I can capture it.. if that makes any sense. I'd say that the PowerShot would have comparable looking photos if you work at it.
