The most important piece of equipment when it comes to taking good pictures has nothing to do with anything you can buy at a store. It’s actually your own two eyes and your brain. Being able to see what you want to take a picture in your mind is the first step to taking a great picture. It really doesn’t matter if you have a $100 camera, or a $10,000 camera. If you can’t see and compose the desired image with your own eyes, in your mind, then save yourself a whack of money and buy the $100 camera.

I heard a great story from an aspiring young photographer about their college days. His professor in a photography class full of promising professional photographers was given a simple task. They were shown a dozen or so beautiful and artistic photographs. Their task was to determine which photographs were taken by some very expensive SLR cameras, and which were taken by some very inexpensive point and shoot cameras. The end result? Their success rate was about as good as if they had just randomly guessed.

The point I’m trying to make here, is not that you need to be the next Fran Lebowitz to take great photographs. What I am trying to say is, don’t sweat over a bunch of technical specifications and marketing hyperbole while trying to decide on which digital camera is best for me. It doesn’t really matter.

This camera offers a continuous shooting mode that lets you take 3 frames per second and process up to 14 photos at a time. An important feature for those who tend to get into high speed and volume photography. The shutter speed is equal to the predecessor: 1 / 4000 and flash sync at 1 / 200. The camera starts in 0.2 seconds and has a backlog of 100 milliseconds shooting which lets you take pictures and work more efficiently. This model has 7 points and 3 auto auto modes.

With all that in mind, it would be unfair of me to not make at least a few digital camera recommendations. Especially considering the title of this piece. If your unsure of brand, I’d pick Canon. They have by far more models to choose from then any other manufacturer. If your looking for a really small camera, you can take anywhere, consider the Canon SD1000 Digital Elph.

If you are looking for a SLR camera, the Samsung GX-1L is a nice camera as well as the Digimax GX-1L digital camera. You will find that Samsung has a camera for beginners as well as professionals. The cameras do give quality pictures and a true compact solution.
