I'm planning on getting a new camera. I'm really looking into the Powershots- my friend has one and I LOVE how the photos come out. I was looking at the newest Powershots on the website, and I was wondering which one would be best for me. I would use it mostly for taking pictures with friends, animals, and nature. Should I look at one with a higher optical zoom, how many megapixels?
Thanks

I have tried adjusting the shutter setting, etc. but it doesn't help much. Just keep that in mind when you are looking for a camera...mess around with the display ones a little bit. Also, look for one with a higher optical zoom...that is the best for your money. Also, if you can afford it a high megapixel. Hope I helped.

Get a camera with as many megapixels as you can afford. Within reason. Since you're taking pictures outside (like, nature) you may want around six or seven, so you can make hi-res copies, large reprints, etc. without distortion. [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]
pockets answered Sunday January 7 2007, 9:17 pm: I have a Canon Powershot A540. It has a 4x optical zoom and 6.0 megapixel. I love it, so I suggest that one. It has portrait mode (for pictures of your friends), and a close up mode made specifically for flowers (nature and other things). Also you can set the shutter speed higher to catch animals in action.
