Question I need to get a digital camera in the next few days and I'm
trying to get the best for my money. I am not completely
ignorant with cameras and i know a bit about them but im no
expert.I see a lot of cameras with the same megapixels and
optical zoom but the prices are drastically different. what
else affects the quality of the picture. I know there is
face detection, antishake, etc, but will that really change
the price of the camera by $50-$100? this camera will be
used exclusively in egypt, so any suggestion/comments about
lighting are welcome. what in the camera really makes the
piture look bright and crisp? i used an 8mp camera with 3x
optical zoom and got a dark picture only about 10 ft away or
less. how can i avoid this?
thanks in advance
Answer Hi Tony,
You have not stated your budget, anyhow the more features the more price but now all products have also become much cheaper you may look at a 10 MP camera with all features stated.
Suggestions Look for Fuji S2000 this is High Zoom good for indoor and outdoor has lot many features including HD Movies and priced below $200.
For low lighting make sure your selected camera has ISO Settings of 800 plus.
