What digital camera is best for a new user?
Kendyl H asked:
I am wanting to buy a nice digital camera within the next couple of days. I dont know a lot about photography but will hopefully be learning all about it by taking a photography class or by buying a book. Any suggestions one which make and model I should look into? Also, any suggestions on books that are helpful with learning about cameras and photography? Thanks!
It cost a little, but I bought my wife a Canon S2 IS digital camera. It’s great for all kinds of shots, has a good zoom, and my wife loves to use it. She hates cameras, or did until now. It was easy to use.
I have a Canon a-590. Nice little camera. Here is what I like about it.
Uses AA batteries buy a charger and rechargeable batteries.
You won’t get stuck with a camera that needs a charge
Has a good range of manual controls,after you get proficient you can get creative.
Takes good quality pictures in auto mode.
One of the few compacts that you can but different lenses on. Wide angle,macro for close ups.
Has a decent instruction manual that comes with it.
Cost was $160 plus $12 for a 1GB memory card which will hold several hundred pictures.
I wouldn’t spend a lot on a new hobby,so this is a good camera in my opinion.
Here is the best book available in the market to learn photography:
