Which canon camera should I get?


Question Posted Sunday June 13 2010, 5:12 pm

I love Canons. I want a Powershot for under $400. And that's about all I know that I want. I don't know much about buying cameras. But I do want it to take excellent quality pictures have a decent battery-life span. I'm pretty clueless about what to get. So any recommendations? Or tips when buying a camera?

Hey there,
I find Canons are awesome cameras. I have an A720 right now and it works nice. There is a six times optical zoom, eight mega pixels, special effects, video camera, and much more. Here is a website about my camera, but if you want to check out any others on the search bar go ahead: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

How long your camera lasts is basically all in what battery brand you buy. If you want your batteries to last a long time, you have to buy the digital camera batteries. Otherwise, the lights and screen can take up all your power within a matter of even an hour or so. If you can, buy a batttery charger and rechargable batteries. They end up saving you quite a bit of money since you can reuse them.

I found this info off of the internet: If your digital camera supports AA batteries, read the camera manual and check to see if it also supports a kind of battery called NiMH. These batteries tend to last much longer than most standard alkaline AA batteries - plus, they are rechargeable, so they can be re-used for quite a long time. Granted, the cost of four NiMH batteries plus a charger is more expensive than four alkaline batteries, but you'll more than make up the difference in costs once you recharge and use the batteries a few times.
Note that batteries with a higher mAh capacity rating will cost more, but they should last longer between recharges.

Right now I have Duracell digital camera batteries and they last quite a while. You can try turning your camera off whenever possible too.

Buy what suits you. There isn't really such a thing as an 'old' camera. It is like that saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Basically, if you know the camera does what it needs to, has the features you want, and isn't too expensive, then it is probably your camera <3
