Best Camera

Best for me does not only means features, image quality but I will also take consideration of camera system and of course price. I usually wrote several best digital camera article every year. I hope it is helpful to find the best photography tools.

Hi, I have a D3000 and I was wondering what would be a good multipurpose lens? Basically, I like taking pictures of anything… people, city lights, etc. I’m just lost of what lenses are good. I like taking pictures of skateboarders and I like capturing them in the air, but I would like a fisheye lens. What’s a good fisheye lens? And would a wide angle lens be good too? If so, what kind?

Good multipurpose lens will be Nikon 18-200mm VR II. fisheye Nikon 10.5mm.

Hi, is there an alternative 3rd party lens for Nikon 18-200mm VR II? Also I’m considering getting the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 but I’ve seen some reviews that there may be issues with the slow focus? Any known issues with getting this Tamron lens?

There are Sigma 18-250mm and Tamron 18-270mm as an alternative for Nikon 18-200mm, however, I think the Nikon version is still on the upper hand in built quality, auto focus and image quality. For Tamron 17-50mm yeah, Slow, a bit noisy focus and hard to focus in back light or low contrast situation. Beside AF issue, quality control could be a problem. When you get a good copy, it is awesome, if not, then it is pretty crappy.

Hello Enche,

I have not purchased my Camera yet wanting to know what would be the best camera for me, I am a newbie but i love take pic pretty much of everything sunsets, landscapes, family, kids, animals. the camera i have is just a plain point and shoot. I love the kx because they are coming out with a purple one. but I would like to know what would be good for me.

Enche Tjin June 3, 2010 at 12:17 pm

Pentax kx is a good one for you.

Enche, great site! I wish I was able to write in a second language like you can. I saw your posts on Amazon and I followed them to your blog.

Now the question, I am looking for a point-and-shoot camera with some advanced features. I am trying to decide between the Canon S90 and the Panasonic DMC-LX3. I am stepping up from an Canon Powershot A710 IS that recently broke. I am not ready for a DSLR because of the price, or the fear that I will never use them to their fullest capacity.

I am interested in capturing pictures of my 1 year old child and dog, some of the wife’s dance performances (high light contrasts and dark rooms), scenic nature pictures, with an occasional close up.

Regards.

Canon S90 IS is better in low light condition, so I’ll recommend S90 IS.

Oh,no,enche…how about 2010,some rumors for canon they already released 2000d and 60d.Can’t wait for your advices, specifications and comparing to 550d and 7d…a lot of advantages to read your sites.

Enche Tjin June 29, 2010 at 10:56 am

Here is what I think about 60D and 2000D, but remember this is just my speculation hehe

Hi Edek, sorry for the late reply. D90 has the best image quality, the second is D200 and D2X is the last.

For wedding, you might need camera that fit your hand well and also you don’t want to compromise so much in image quality. Therefore, I suggest Nikon D200.
