What is the best compact digital camera for low light situations?

Question by flight777: What is the best compact digital camera for low light situations?
Looking for the best compact (non-SLR) digital camera for shooting in low light without a flash. Needs to have a street price of less than $ 500. I've seen the Lumix DMC-LX5 which has an f2.0 lens. Is there anything comparable to this or better on the market? Thanks.

How do I make my photos clear with my digital camera?

Question by AmandaRS: How do I make my photos clear with my digital camera?
I have an Casio Exilim 8.1 Mega Pixels Digital Camera EX-Z9. When I try to take photos of my pets or of my husband playing paintball, they come out blurry. I don't have the instruction guide either. I don't really understand what all the options are on my camera, or what they actually change. Can anyone explain to me how to make my pictures clearer? But tell me like you were talking to a 5 year old. Thanks!

Answer by Nee
The only thing I can think of that may be the problem is that your hand is shaking while you're taking the photos or your subject is moving, in which case the photo will turn out blurry no matter what unless you have some sort of professional camera. If it's your hand shaking then maybe try using an tripod.

How should an external flash be sincronised to a digital camera?

Question by John S: How should an external flash be sincronised to a digital camera?
I am using a basic digital camera but want to use an external flash. If I fire the flash the same time as the shutter the camera does not see the flash, What delay should I have for it to see the flash?


Best answer:

Answer by c.dude
When you say basic digital camera I am assuming its a point and shoot.

a point and shoot does a pre-flash either to reduce red eye or to meter ( for automatic settings)

to use an external flash you need to set the camera's flash in manual mode such that it fires only once
and set the external flash to optical slave mode so that it sees a flash go and fires at the same time.

most DSLR's have a sync speed of 1/250 i.e. shutter speed has to be slower than 1/250th of a second
however the point and shoot camera's have a leaf shutter and are able to sync faster than that.

what you need to do is find that manual flash mode

What digital camera should I ask for Christmas?

Question by Mr. Sam: What digital camera should I ask for Christmas?
I decided this Christmas that I want a new digital camera. Basically, price is not a problem, but I want high quality pictures and possibly movies. I'm looking for a camera that's relatively small & boxy. Not a big odd shaped camera. If I were to choose a color, it would be black. Now, I know that Canon Rebels take superb quality pictures, but I'm looking for a little digital camera that I can carry around, and isn't a hassle, like the rebel. So, a digital camera, relatively small, boxy, and black. Any suggestions? 10 points to best answer!

How many megapixels does a digital camera have to have in order to match the quality of a 35mm camera?

Question by mypaintings1212: How many megapixels does a digital camera have to have in order to match the quality of a 35mm camera?
I've read in an article that it would take 14 megapixels in order for a digital camera to match a 35mm. in terms of picture image quality. Also is 35mm the "Holy Grail" of image quality in a photograph? Are there new technologies that could surpass the image quality of a 35mm camera?


Best answer:

Answer by Barometer Soup
4 megapixels is plenty. The human eye can't tell the difference unless you either plan to:

1) print huge, poster-sized copies of the photos, or
2) zoom way, way in using software.

In fact the more megapixels you get, not only does the price of the camera go up, but fewer pictures fit on your memory card.

4 megapixels is more than enough for 95% of us.

What recommendation for a digital camera brand and model?

Question by Hime-Sama: What recommendation for a digital camera brand and model?
I would like to buy a digital camera but I'm not sure what to look at. Design is not an important aspect. What I would want is that it can produce a good quality picture and doesn't need much editing. I'm not so sure whether to pick a higher megapixel because some review states that higher doesn't mean better, though I'm not sure why. Could someone give me a guidance in choosing a good digital camera? Thanks. =)
