Thread: Which Digital Camera Brand You Prefer ?

With many expert photographers around I just wanted to know which digital camera brand is liked by most of the people here.

As for me,I prefer Sony and I am using it for more than 1.5 years and I haven't face any issue with it yet !

Share your views and opinions about Digital cameras here. Like, The brand you like.Why do you like it ? etc.

I am using a Sony DSC H50...and very happy with it too.

Oops, Forgot to add the poll.

Can any of the mod do it ?

P.S.--Sorry for inconvenience

These days Canon and Nikon are safe bets for good cameras
in the high SLR end.
Sony is OK at the mid level. so is panasonic, samsung, etc.

I have a Panasonic LC5s which I bought just because it has
a Leica lens.

What about casio? Its exilim series is very good. Olmypus are also good.

I bought a sony because it was a good pro-amateur camera and had a carl zeiss lens.

unless you are making large enlargements or prints, pretty much
any digital camera around 6-8 megapixels is more than enough.

Olmypus. No brand is better than it in my opinion.. But I don't have it. I have casio. Nikon & canon are other good brands.

Opinions can be wrong but I considered it to be true.

My first digital camera was a polaroid 2 MP.
I got decent 4x6 prints even for that

presently using a Kodak and a Sony.

I use my mobile Sony Ericsson K-750i....
It rocks......
Clarity is superb..... no noise at all ........
And I print photos at 4*6

My first digital camera was 4MP Panasonic LC5s. My current
digital camera is the same ;-) (seven years and going strong)

In fact I am not a big fan of digital. I prefer film.

Yeah,But we have a limitation in film.

We can just click a maximum of 36 photos per film.
Then give that to studio to develop the film.And in the end it was a long tedious process.That's what I find useful in DigiCams.No hassles,yo can see the pic as soon as you click .

I have been using Canon Powershot A-560 for almost 2 years now. Its an amazing piece. When it comes to buying a camera, the only thing comes to my mind is Canon. It has got a 7.1 MP camera with 4x Zoom.

Apart from that I also use my N79, it has got a 5 MP camera. The photos taken by N79 are quite good. I would post some of the snaps soon.

I started my photography life way back in 1977 with the elimentary Agfa Click III.



A pretty simple camera, it used the 120 roll and clicked snaps in 6x6 format.

In 1984, I graduated to the Canon AE-1 SLR. It had/has only a single normal f/1.8 lens. It has shutter priority design. I still have the camera and it can still take good pictures. But Canon changed the lens mount sometime in 1995 and the lenses for this camera are now available in the 2nd hand market only.



In 1998, when it was time to upgrade, I had to decide. I chose Nikon and purchased the N70 (F70).



I have Tamron 28-105 mm lens and Nikon 70-300 ED lens with this camera.


I also have a set of filters - Skylight 1B, Circular Polarizer, N/2 and N/8 ND Graduated density filter, Orange 85B, and Yellow filters.

For digital photography, I use the Kodak Z650 that has Schneider lens with 10X optical zoom.

You have nice collection of cameras man........
Hey what do you think about camera clarity of SE k-750i?
Please reply...

I was previously using K750i. I really miss that phone (I still have it with me). I loved it for 2 reasons: Music & Camera. The clarity of the pictures taken from K750i were pretty good especially the outdoor pictures. But whatever clarity the pictures is, they mobile phone camera can never take the place of Digital Cameras.

Yaa, that's true......
Hey but we are not professional photographer....
Occasional snap and shoot photos we take......
So mobile camera is more than enough.............

So which phone you use nowadays?

I never used Mobile phone for snaps till date.

Ok.....try it......
You will get amazed by it......

Unlikely. I have nothing against them. But I am from the old school - use the right device for the job.

I print my own photographs at home and blow them to A4 size. To get good pictures for that size from a camera phone, I will have to invest in a 20K+ camera phone. I would rather put that money somewhere else.

I too am from old school

thats why i called you Ajoba

anyways the Sony also good in Digital Cameras.

JFK's cam and lenses looks like my cousin's one. She is a professional photographer and has all these tele lens, zoom lens what not. I just know they are too heavy to carry and she clicks awesome pics. I believe in compact stuffs. As compact as possible.
