What camera to get?

I鈥檓 looking for a camera, but I鈥檓 not sure what one to get. I want one with features similar to an SLR camera, but I also want it to be able to record video. So basically, I鈥檓 looking for a high-quality (at least 10 m.p.), high-feature camera capable of also recording high-quality video.


I鈥檝e looked at canon鈥檚 power shot and the rebel. Would these work? or are there betters out there?|||The King is right.





DSLR's do not do video ... they are what the pros use in conjunction with their 35mm camera bodies. There is a mirror and shutter in the way, so video is out of the question.|||Unfortunately, no Canon Rebel has a video feature. And should you choose a 10 megapixel digital camera, make sure there is minimal shutter lag [when it's writing to the memory device.]





If you are looking for the very best budget digicam with an image stabilized 12X optical zoom, 6 megapixel with no shutter lag even with 2.5 fps, excellent low light imagery and excellent sound video, check out the Canon PowerShot S3 which sells for around $275 [refreshed factory model] at samys.com





Good luck!|||SONY CANNON KODAK|||If you want a DSLR and a camera that does video, you actually want two different cameras. Basically, still cameras are not designed to do videos. If video is your real interest and you only want to deal with one camera, it is a video camera that you want. Several of the digital video cameras also are set up to take a still image on an on board flash card. They mostly produce a small but acceptable image. On the other hand, still cameras are not designed for video and produce poor video quality.


I am a working professional and use the Canon system cameras for both still and video photography, but I use EOS5D cameras for still photography and a Canon HV20A for videos. They both produce excellent results. You can't go wrong with Canon cameras.|||canon s5
