if you have a point and shoot, many companies make watertight housings for that, and they are pretty cheap compared to the dslr housings. there are even universal bags with a lens port to use that are decent. if you have the money and want to continue this hobby (which can be very rewarding and profitable) look at sea and sea brands. they have great gear and decent prices. good luck.

What kind of digital camera should I buy?

Question by нєℓℓσ кιтту вαву: What kind of digital camera should I buy?
I have a digital camera right now, but i want to upgrade. It doesnt have sound when you listen to videos, you have to change the battery every day if you use it for a long time, and its really slow when you take pictures. I want something in pink or purple. It has to have a good battery life, and be able to record videos. Price doesnt matter. Thanks!!

What is the best kind of inexpensive digital camera?

Question by amanda w: What is the best kind of inexpensive digital camera?
I am considering buying a digital camera before a trip to Europe. I want a nice one, but not too expensive. I am looking for something between 60-150 dollars. I am not into photography or anything supremely artistic. I just want my pictures to turn out nicely.

There are a few with new anti-shake unfortunately I haven't tried them out personally.

I do know a feature that you might want to consider

some cameras have eliminated the view finder for a screen only
(the screen only can be an issue in bright sun - you may not be able to see the screen well or when your battery starts to run low - screens use more battery power)

If you have a digital card bring it with you to a camera store or any store that has cameras on display ... you can snap pics and then bring it home or print it to see which you prefer, if the store has 1 hr dev. then you see immed. what you've got, just don't forget your card. My dad did it all the time and I now do it when considering a camera as well.

What kind of battery is compatible with this digital camera?

Question by Diane: What kind of battery is compatible with this digital camera?
My digital camera is a Canon Powershot A530. I use Duracell's batteries for it, but after I take about 20 pictures, it starts to act up and says to change the batteries, and will take maybe one picture, then shut off on its own. I've gathered that maybe the batteries I use are not compatible with my camera, but I don't know which batteries are. If you happen to know which battery works well with this kind of camera, well please answer. :) Thanks.


Best answer:

Answer by stan l
If it only takes "about 20 pictures" on a set of Duracells, you have a bad camera. My Canon A710 takes 200+ pics on a set of Duracell Alkalines. Are you using some dollar store reject imitation Duracells? Digital cameras do NOT like crappy batteries.

if this camera takes these kind of pictures?
i dont want to go buy a camera and return it
after not liking the quality.

Answer by joedlh
You'll see this written scores of times in answers to similar questions: It's not the camera that takes professional pictures but the photographer. If you don't have the skills, you could be using a $ 30,000 Hasselblad and still take pictures that are not as good as an experienced photographer with a $ 500 point-and-shoot.

What kind of place can I rent camera equipment?

Question by Nina: What kind of place can I rent camera equipment?
I want to use this camera but it is sooo expensive (over $ 1,000). Anyway, do you know any place that will loan me a camera?


Best answer:

Answer by EverCurious
Try: http://prophotorental.com/

This company says that they will ship the equipment to you the day before your rental period starts and you (obviously) ship everything back at the end.

Otherwise, there are local rental places too, so google for "camera rental stores" in your area to see if there's anything nearby.

What kind of digital camera do you have?

Question by Shelby M: What kind of digital camera do you have?
I don't really know anything about digital cameras but I want to buy one. What are the cameras called, that are not digital, just "normal" ones? I used to like those better because the quality seemed to much more professional. The lighting seemed warmer, colors seemed brighter. On digital cameras it seems that everything looks paler, etc. Is it just me? I wanted a digital camera that had those qualities to it, with a good price, if possible.

am looking to buy a very good professional digital camera. I have been thinking of taking up photography as a hobby. Mostly photos of my childrens lives, family events, etc. Yet I have no clue as to what kind of camera is best for what I want to do. I was thinking of going for Nikon, Cannon or possibly a Sony one. I am also looking to spend between $ 500 - $ 700. I want it to be versatile and durable, because I am not sure if I will be able to afford another one any time soon. Thanks in advance.

Answer by eyeofjake
Stick to SLR cameras ONLY. No pro shooter uses a point and shoot. You need total control of your camera.

An intermediate range camera is all you need. You won't spend more than say 500-800 bones. Sadly, digital cameras aren't cheap compared to film but oh well. Those days are gone. What you need to spend good money on is the lens. NEVER BUY CHEAP LENSES! PERIOD!!! You can have the best camera in the world but if your lens is crap, every image will be crap.

You need to learn how to manipulate aperture, shutter speed, ISO, water balance, image temp, etc... Either find a good book on it, a photographer that can teach you, or take classes.

I'm looking to buy a new digital camera because my old Polaroid one, which is just over a year old, is showing pink spots and it costs more to fix it than to buy a new camera.
