Some Cool Camera's To Consider

Some Cool Camera’s

I am going to discuss some camera’s in price ranges from 100 dollars up to 400 dollars. These are good cameras but certainly not the only good ones out there. As I said I am partial to the Sony point an Shoot camera’s. You will find Nikon and Canon’s with similar features and prices. Most will serve you well. These are the three brands I would recommend. Many other companies have a good camera model but Nikon, Sony and Canon, have great cameras.

Sony Cybershot H50 Priced between $325 and $399

It is a full featured point and shoot. It touts the Smile Shutter technology that will automatically take the picture when the subject smiles. It also has face detection and will balance the focus on up to 8 faces. It is for the serious amateur or someone who just loves to take pictures. Unless you just want a digital SLR, this camera will do more than 99% of the population would ever use. This is a great camera, if you use your camera a lot and want great shots. You certainly will need to read the manual a couple of times to get the full benefit of the H50. And prepare for a Learning Curve for special situations. Check out the rest of the specs below.

The Sony Cyber Shot H10 Price $185-279

My wife owns this camera and uses it for her real estate business. She tried a couple of other cameras that did not fill the bill like the H10. Kim is a point and shoot diva. She does not like fiddling around with the camera, just wants great shots. The H10 had Delivered that. This camera has Optical stabilization like it’s big Brother the H50. It also has a digital range optimizer that tones down the highlights and brightens the dark areas, which gives you a very even tone. The H10 has the face detection, but you will have to catch the smile yourself.
If you want a little more challenge, this camera had a manual mode to allow you full manual control, if you want choose your own settings. This is a solid choice, for some one who uses their camera regularly. It is a lot of camera for the money.

Sony Cybershot S750 price $99-160

The Sony Power Shot S750 is an entry level camera for anyone who wants to begin or continue taking digital photography. This camera is small and easy to carry (I would suggest a small case to protect the camera) in your purse or in a pocket. It has a 3x zoom which is pretty standard on this level of camera. And it has the added feature of face detection and a very decent ISO 1200 mode for lower light pictures. It is a good basic point and shoot and well worth the money if you are wanting a simple camera, easy to use and easy to carry.

Canon Powershot SD770 IS Price $145-190

The Canon Sd770 IS is a 10 megapixel camera, and like the Sony S750 it is very compact. You get a few more megapixels as this is a 10 megapixel camera. Canon’s lens-shift image stabilization, will provide a crisp picture, highly detailed, you will be pleased. It is a solid contender for the average point and shoot user. You won’t go wrong with this camera.

Canon SD770 IS Specifications
10 Megapixels

Regardless of the Camera you choose I would suggest you consider do you want a range finder to look into or are you o.k. with the screen. And what size screen works best for you. Once again let me know if you have any questions…
