Which brand of digital camera is good?

Canon, Sony, Nikon, Casio, Samsung, Kodak, Fuji, Olympus, Ricoh, Panasonic, etc. Japanese digital cameras dominate the mainstream market. For general household use, it is recommended to choose a card camera (beautiful and portable in appearance) or a medium-long zoom (6- 10 zoom is more suitable for shooting sports, portraits, animals and other subjects). Both of these cameras have the function of taking pictures, but they need to buy a large-capacity memory card of more than 4G. The professional choice is definitely SLR digital (from the cheapest set of cameras to the most expensive set of cameras with more than 65,438+10,000 yuan).

The price of 1 is around 1000- 1500 yuan.

Ultra-thin and low-cost models: Canon ixus70= 1450 yuan or Casio Z11=150 yuan.

Both of the above are low-end card numbers. Ixus70 is Canon's cheapest ultra-thin model, with 7 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, 2.5-inch screen and small optical viewfinder, which can be used in strong sunlight. Ixus70 is dark in color, but it is very real and natural. Sometimes it is slightly pink in low light, not as gorgeous as Sony, but I still like its continuous shooting and autofocus performance. I set iso to 400 and turned off the flash. Another problem is that the battery capacity is less than 800 mAh, but it can be solved by spending 50 yuan and 60 yuan to buy a domestic battery. No matter how large the capacity of a battery is, it will not be very reassuring, hehe. There is no plexiglass protection outside the screen. 10 yuan had better put a film on it. Canon camera has the advantages of fine workmanship, solid machine under normal use, perfect maintenance service network and better service than small companies.

The machine imaging of Casio z 1 1 is also good. Its advantages are beautiful appearance and low price. The same is 7 million pixels, 3 times optical zoom, 2.5-inch screen. The disadvantage is that there is a little more noise in low light.

In addition, there are many models at this price. For example, the A590IS of Canon A series is recommended for manual function, which provides 8 million pixels, optical image stabilization, 4x optical zoom lens and full manual function. The price is about 1.500 yuan, but the body is larger.

Sony W 120 adopts 1/2.5 inch Super HAD CCD photosensitive element, with effective pixel of 7.2 million and maximum resolution of 3072×2304. As for the lens, a quadruple optically variable Carl Zeiss lens with an equivalent focal length of 32- 128 mm is used, and the closest focusing distance is 4cm. The sensitivity range is ISO 100-ISO 3200, and the LCD screen adopts 2.5-inch TFT LCD, 1 1.5 million pixels. W 120 lithium battery power supply, more than 300 pieces, with 1 piece at the time of purchase. It is more expensive to buy spare batteries. The latest package price12GB memory stick from 580 yuan. This machine is thinner and more beautiful than Canon a590. It is also important to note that do not choose a model with a screen larger than 2.5 inches. This machine consumes a lot of electricity, and a single lithium battery is more expensive, so it will be inconvenient to use in cold areas in winter.

2) the choice of home computers of about 2000 yuan.

Comprehensive Canon A650 is about 2400 yuan. The main features of Canon A650 are:11.8 inch120,000 pixel CCD, 6 times optical zoom with anti-shake, 2.5 inch rotating screen and full manual function. Manual function is more useful for friends who want to learn photography. The disadvantage is that the No.5 rechargeable battery is used, which is not equipped in the original factory and needs to be purchased separately. In addition, the wide-angle range is not as good as that of the 28mm equivalent focal length machine, and the travel photo needs a 28mm or even 24mm equivalent focal length lens.

Wide-angle Nikon s600=2 170 yuan. Nikon S600 is a portable digital camera with 654.38+megapixels, 4x optical zoom and 2.7-inch screen. At the same time, S600 also has 28mm wide angle and VR optical anti-shake function. Nikon S600 camera optimized face priority technology can automatically lock faces, and can capture up to five faces in the picture. Red-eye restoration technology can automatically monitor and correct red-eye in photos. D-Lighting technology can compensate for too much backlight or insufficient flash. Under the power supply of EN-EL 10 lithium ion battery, Nikon's imaging has been excellent. The disadvantage is that the zoom range is not long enough, but it should be suitable for travel and general life photos, and portrait photos are not as long as Canon a650is.

The telephoto Sony DSC-H 10=2400 yuan is a high-magnification zoom camera, which is the successor of the mainstream DSC-H3 at present and supports 8 million effective pixels shooting. Carl Zeiss's 10x optically variable lens supports optical image stabilization. This camera also has a built-in facial recognition function, which can support the recognition of up to 8 people. In addition, it also has high-speed shutter and automatic AF function for moving objects, 3-inch LCD screen, ISO setting as high as 3200, but noise control will be very unsatisfactory. Sony's memory chips are relatively expensive, so it is recommended to buy a set of 2GB memory chips and Weifeng tripod, with a height of 50, 60 yuan1.2m (it is difficult to take a zoom lens with a magnification of 10 without a tripod).

Sony does not recommend T series. The built-in zoom light loss is worse than other brands at the same price, and the 3-inch screen consumes a lot of power. The only advantage is that the lens won't protrude when taking a sneak shot. W series machines are recommended, which have average performance, good cost performance and bright imaging colors, and are welcomed by home users.

3 amateur and home high-end choice: digital SLR

Entry-level: Nikon D40/ 18-55 lens =3500 yuan, Nikon D40 uses 6.24 million pixel CCD, 23.7× 15.6 mm APS-C format, and the lens conversion ratio is 1.5 times. The maximum resolution is 3008 x 2000. ISO is 200/400/800/ 1600/3200. The shutter is 30- 1/4000 seconds. Nikon D40 has exposure modes such as program automatic exposure, aperture priority, shutter priority and full manual, and has the functions of manually adjusting ISO sensitivity and customizing white balance. The main LCD screen behind Nikon D40 camera adopts a 2.5-inch LCD screen with 230,000 pixels, and the flash synchronization speed is 1/500s. Continuous shooting capacity is 2.5 frames per second, JPEG realizes infinite continuous shooting, and RAW has a maximum of 9 frames. Nikon D40 fuselage is not equipped with lens drive motor, so only the AF-S lens and AF-I lens with built-in motor of Nikon can focus AF on D40. D-series lens can be used, but it can't achieve autofocus. The focusing system of this machine adopts three-point focusing mode and uses a relatively low-grade CAM530 focusing sensor system. Its metering system is equipped with Nikon's 3D matrix second-generation metering system, which has the functions of central key metering and 2.5% spot metering. On the right side of the D40 fuselage is the SD card slot, which uses SD/SDHC card as the storage medium. The lithium battery EN-EL9 is very durable. According to Nikon's own data, you can take about 2200 photos continuously after being fully charged. The disadvantage is that the pixel is low, and the focal length range of 18-55 lens is not long enough. It is suggested to add 75-300G lens = 1000 yuan in the future.

Canon EOS 350D+ 18-55mm lens = 3,600 yuan, adopts APS-C 800 megapixel CMOS sensor, the size is 22.2 x 14.8 mm, and the lens conversion coefficient is 1.6, which is compatible with all EF and EF-S series lenses, and the lens set adopts EF-S. The 350D uses the same DIGIC II image processor, and the startup time is only 0.2 seconds. The shutter speed of 350D is 30- 1/4000s, and the ISO range is ISO 100-ISO 1600. The continuous shooting speed of Canon 350D is three frames per second, and one continuous shooting can record 14 frames, which can record image files in both RAW and JPEG formats. The 350D also incorporates Canon's most advanced E-TTL second-generation flash technology. The focusing system allows users to freely choose among three focusing modes: single focusing, automatic servo and artificial intelligence servo. Canon 350D has a 1.8-inch LCD screen with 1 10000 pixels, which is a little small but saves power. In terms of white balance, the deviation of blue, yellow, magenta and green has been corrected, and it has a white balance of plus or minus 9 gears to surround the exposure. In terms of storage, the 350D is compatible with CF I/II memory card, the battery is NB-2LH, and 600 photos are taken without flash. 18-55mm lens is relatively average in operability and imaging, but its low price and suitable focal length are more suitable for entry-level photographers. The kit comes standard with18-55mm lens. Although this lens has poor operability and low contrast, its low price and suitable focal length are more suitable for entry-level photographers. Eos400d is an upgraded model, the price is about 4700 yuan, the pixel is upgraded to100000, the LCD screen is 2.5 inches, and it has ccd dust removal function. Complete performance, the first choice at present.

Pentax K 100D super suit = 3500 yuan, which supports the anti-shake shooting function of the fuselage. The lens conversion ratio is 1.5X, the viewfinder is 0.85X, the pentahedron with 96% field of view, 1 1 point autofocus system, and the highest shutter speed is 1/4000. Pentax K 100D Super, as an upgraded product of K 100D, has two main improvements. One is to add the function of CCD dust removal, which is a way to use special coating and CCD vibration to remove dust; Second, like K 1OD, two electronic contacts are added, which are compatible with Pentax SDM ultrasonic motor driving lens. The disadvantage is that the brand influence is not as good as Nikon, Canon and Sony, and the maintenance service cycle is longer and the number of optional lenses is less.

Nikon D40x+ Nikon 18- 135 lens =5800 yuan, the lens appearance is relatively small, the body size is 126×64×94mm, and the net weight is 495g, which is very suitable for beginners. The machine uses 23.6× 15.8 mm, 65438. The equivalent focal length multiple is 1.5 times, which is compatible with G-type or D-type AF nikkor lens. The machine is equipped with an electromagnetic control longitudinal focusing shutter, B shutter, shutter speed 1/4000 seconds -30 seconds, sensitivity 100- 1600ISO. It has program automatic, shutter priority automatic, aperture priority automatic and full manual exposure mode. Power supply is provided by rechargeable lithium-ion battery EN-EL9, and files are stored by SD and SDHC cards. The focal length of Nikkor DX18-135mm f/3.5-5.6g IF-ED lens is 28-200mm when it is converted into a 35mm camera. Its lens has a wide angle and a telephoto, which can be regarded as an all-around lens. This head is characterized by high cost performance. When I bought it, I also sent the original range hood, and the market price was 2200 yuan. When matched with the D40x fuselage, the disadvantage is that this lens, like other entry-level lenses, is an engineering plastic bayonet, which is very resistant to bumping.

The above four airframes are the cheapest choices, but they are all models that are about to be discontinued or have been discontinued. This year, the new models Canon eos450d, Nikon d60, Sony A350D and Pentax K200D have just come on the market, and their prices are relatively expensive. It is estimated that the fuselage price will be reduced by about 10% in three or four months. Friends who are in pursuit of fashion or are in a hurry to use it and don't care about the price can choose. The specific models have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they are all improved compared with the old models, and the prices are all around 6000 yuan.

Let's talk about accessories. SLR cameras don't have memory cards. 4GB CF card (recommended by sandisk, Kingston and Chuangjian) 250-around 300 yuan, 4GB HC SD card1around 50 yuan -200 yuan. We also need to buy Weifeng or any domestic brand tripod, with a height of 1.5 meters, about 200-300 yuan, Admiralty (Japan) or Manfutu (Italy). The uv mirror is good (b+w, Nikon, Canon 150-200 yuan's head is not so good), but it's almost Kengo 50 yuan-100 yuan (multilayer coating). The camera bag is 50- 100 yuan, and the famous brand Le Shebao is around 300-500 yuan. There are other optional accessories such as cable release or remote control (for night scenes or self-portraits), and the original medium-sized flash 1000-2000 yuan (depending on the brand size and price, meeting photography needs). Polarizer =200-300 yuan (a must for scenery, which can eliminate nonmetallic reflection and make water greener and sky bluer). The reflector (portrait and flower photography accessories 80- 100 yuan) can also be made of white foam plastic board (1.2 m *0.8 m), which is effective, but not easy to carry. If you don't like camera lenses, it usually costs 5000-6000 yuan to buy a large zoom lens, which is more suitable for travel photography and friends who don't like changing lenses.

And a telephoto lens. The 55-200 anti-shake lens is more expensive than the 70-300 lens, and the price is generally between 1000-2000 yuan. Friends who like to take big photos or flowers and plants recommend buying a Longteng 90mm/2.8 macro portrait lens. The price is also around 3000 yuan, majoring in imaging. The original 50mm/ 1.4 standard lens is also 2500 -3000 yuan, the price of Canon 50mm/ 1.8 is more than 600 yuan, and the price of Nikon 50mm/ 1.8 is more than 800 yuan, which is also a portrait lens with very good performance and price. Unfortunately, the focal length is short, which is only suitable for taking busts. There are many kinds and prices to choose from. Basically, you get what you want for a penny, but it's good that a lens with twice the price can image 10%- 15%. f2.8 large aperture zoom imaging is not as good as fixed focus.

Professional lens has excellent imaging, powerful appearance, high price, heavy weight and inconvenient carrying, and is not the first choice for entry-level and home use. Nikon or Canon 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 zoom lenses 2.8 have a constant aperture of more than 35,000-40,000 yuan, and a large aperture fixed focus of 8000-65438 each. Guns over 300mm are between 40,000 and 80,000, and general professionals also rent them.

Choosing a model still depends on the function you need most, the longest shooting theme and your favorite brand. When buying a card or a portable computer, it is best to go to Gome, Dazhong, Suning, Hongtu Sambo or online price comparison and then go to Zhongguancun or the local IT market. It is better for SLR cameras to go to Wukesong photographic equipment city or local photographic equipment store.
