Hope this helps you.

What’s the difference between SLR cameras and digital cameras?

I’m looking to get into some photography, kind of profession and I see photographers use SLR cameras instead of digital ones, what’s the difference?

Which is the best/newest canon model for SLR cameras?

Thanks

SLR – Single Lens Reflex. With this camera you look through a viewfinder and directly through the lens so you see exactly what the lens "sees". The SLR style camera was first associated with 35mm film.

DSLR – Digital Single Lens Reflex. Same viewing as above but now the 35mm film has been replaced with a digital sensor. The most common DSLR cameras, like the Canon XSi or Nikon D60 or Sony A300 or Pentax K200D have a sensor that is smaller than a 35mm film frame. These are known as "cropped sensor" cameras and have either a 1.5 or 1.6 "multiplier" to convert the lens to a 35mm film equivalent focal length. A 20mm lens will be a 35mm format equivalent 30mm or 32mm lens.

To further complicate things, Sony, Nikon and Canon have introduced the "full frame" DSLR with a sensor the same size as a 35mm film frame – 24mm x 36mm. These cameras are costly – from about $3,000.00 to $8,000.00 for the body only (no lens) – and are used mainly by professional photographers.

Okay so I need a new digital camera. I want one with at least 10-12 megapixels, 2.5-3 inch lcd screen and very thin. What camera is best for not a ton of money but is still a really good, reliable camera? Thanks!

Don’t buy into the hype of megapixels. YOu need to understand, there is a LOT more to picture quality than megapixels – for example shutter speed, aperture options etc.
Megapixels are something that a lot of manufacturers bump up to up the cost of their cameras – but believe me, if you’re a ‘point and shoot’ type, 6, 7, 8 MP is plenty – and it will save money so that you can buy a higher end camera with that number of megapixels, rather than a piece of junk with the 10-12 you were originally looking for.

Read the geek pages (gizmodo, engadget), search for megapixels and you’ll find a million articles talking about how NOT important MPs are above a certain point, unless you really want to be a professional photographer – in which case point and shoot is not what you want, nor is thin – you’ll want the biggest, most badass SLR you can find (lenses for those are commonly 1000+ for just the lens).

I’m looking for a decent digital camera to use primarily for shooting flower arrangements against white backgrounds. Quality and focus are the major concerns here as most of the work will be closeup/macro. A good zoom lens and SLR are a plus for general purpose shooting. What camera(s) would you recommend in the under $600 price range?

I recommend to anyone seriously contemplating the purchase of a new digital SLR camera to consider these two primary questions:
1. How much money do you have to spend???? $500.? $800.? $1,500.?
2. What level of photography do you aspire to "progress to" in the coming years ? (i.e. basic beginner, intermediate, or professional/business use).
For most beginners to intermediates I usually suggest one of these two manufacturers: Canon vs Nikon

1. Canon EOS Rebel model XSi. (Also known as the Canon 450D in Britain) The "kit" package comes with an 18-55mm zoom lens. The camera has pop-up flash, 12.2 Megapixels, and shutter speeds up to 1/4000th, 100-1,600 ISO sensitivity, 7 auto exposure Scene modes, PLUS Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Programmed Exposure Modes and Manual. It also has a 3 inch LCD screen, 3.5 frames continuous per second max., 9 point AF system, Live View Functioning and the ability to record photos in 3, 6 or 12 Megapixels PLUS numerous other great features found only on more expensive cameras. Wal-Mart is also selling them now for about $799. Sam’s Club also has them for $729. I also think that Amazon dot com has them for around $650.

I bought one of these 6 months ago and use it as my "back up" camera. I absolutely love it. I have gotten some fantastic photos with it and cannot praise it enough. I routinely enlarge my photos to make 8×10’s and 11×14 size enlargements with no noticeable distortion or loss of detail in the pictures.

2. Nikon D-90: If you prefer to use Nikon equipment I strongly recommend the Nikon D-90 which has 12.3 Megapixels, 3 inch monitor with Live View, 200-3,200 ISO sensitivity, 11 point AF system with Face Priority, 4.5 frames per second in continuous mode, 5 advanced Scene modes for auto exposure plus Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Programmed Auto plus Manual. The D-90 sells for around $900-950. (Body ONLY. The 18-55mm lens cost an additional $150.-175.) Typically, Nikon equipment is slightly more expensive than Canon equipment, but (having owned both Nikon and Canon cameras), I have seldom noticed BETTER quality results using Nikon equipment.

You might also consider the Nikon D-40 ($499) kit that comes with the 18-55mm lens. Another great choice is the Nikon D-60 kit ($649) which also comes with the 18-55mm lens. All of these Nikon’s can be found at Best Buy or Amazon dot com for a very low price.

These selections are probably the best choices for any beginner to intermediate skill level, offering the most lenses and other accessories, dealers and places to purchase. Both manufacturers have a good selection of macro lenses, which is just what you need for taking close up photos of flowers.

I strongly recommend that ALL beginners buy a good book on digital photography AND take a class or two from a Vocational school or Community Education Center in your area.

Good Luck

My friend is a photographer and wants to expand her services by providing a videographer as well. This is something I have always been interested in, so I would really like to begin this. My main question is, as a person just starting out, what kind of video camera should I get to do wedding videos and some live music videos and what type of software should I use to edit? I am on a fairly low budget.

You can try canon camera like powershot seris
You may try AVS Video Editor which has many great functions. The features in the official site are below:
