Question
I am looking to buy my first digital camera. I don't want to pay to much but I want a good camera, What camera would you recommend? thank you

Answer
Shawn,

I really need more information than that. Could you suggest a car to someone you hadn't met or know anything about?  I like the Ford F350 but that is useless to someone living in London.  And a sports car is probably impractical for a farmer in Kansas.  To some people, $100 is all they have to buy a camera.  To someone else $1000 might seem reasonable.  How much are you willing to spend.  Be honest....  remember, I'm not trying to sell you anything.

Also, what type of camera are you looking for?  "Digital Camera" describes every type of camera they make.  Are there any particular features you want?

Below is roughly how cameras are categorized.

pocket size point and shoot
moderate zoom point and shoot
super zoom point and shoot
bridge camera
entry level digital SLR
mid level slr
semi pro slr
pro slr

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.

Experience

I'm an "expert" under photography. I've many years experience in photo retail.John and Chris
