This camera promises to deliver stunning photography with point and shoot simplicity. That pretty much sounds like what I am looking for in a camera. Great pictures and ease of use.

From the descriptions it sounds as if the Canon Digital Rebel XSI 12MP Digital SLR Camera could come in particularly handy when photographing paintings for creating digital files from which to make art prints. Assuming it does as promised and delivers exceptional clarity that is definitely a desirable feature, plus the ability to capture enough detail for poster-size, photo-quality prints.

The Canon Digital Rebel XSI 12MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Silver) retails for $799.

Camera Details:

• 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor captures enough detail for poster-size, photo-quality prints
• Large 3.0-inch LCD display; includes Canon’s EF-S 18-55mm, f3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens
• DIGIC III image processor provides fast, accurate image processing; improved Autofocus and framing rate
• EOS Integrated Cleaning system, plus Dust Delete Data Detection in included software

Customers rave about the camera calling it awesome, stunning and in at least one case “the greatest camera I will ever own”.

Still looking at digital cameras to replace my old Sony Cybershot. After seeing some photos a friend took on their vacation to Barbados a few weeks back I was impressed by the quality of their pictures and it reminded me that I need to get rid of my joke of a digital camera. The Sony Cybershot is probably an obsolete camera by now. I still can’t believe it was ever considered a quality digital camera. I think it was the first 4 megapixels camera when it came out or something like that which gave Sony the cojones to charge over $800 for it.

I know some people are drawn to higher priced items because they assume if it costs a lot of money it has to be of high quality. I’m assuming, for example, that the Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens has got to be a truly superior digital SLR camera because it is selling for $2,240. Packing 12.3 megapixels, the camera is said to capture enough detail for poster-size photo-quality prints.

At that price tag it’s probably too much camera for recreational photography though.

If you’re in the market for a digital SLR camera the Pentax K10D 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens is a favorite among Amazon buyers. Featuring 10.2 megapixels and a host of advanced technologies that include a Pentax-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system and a weather-resistant body, the Pentax K10D digital SLR camera is said to be “designed to deliver high-quality digital images and responsive operation for advanced photo enthusiasts.”
