Cameras

[MummyThreeStreams]

My hubby got me the canon s95 recently as an upgrade from my 5 year old powershot. It’s great. There are auto and manual functions. Video recording is not bad either. I’m enjoying it very much.


My only gripe is that it doesn’t use regular battreries and the battery life doesn’t seem that great. It uses a canon rechargeable. I guess it saves money coz i don’t have to keep buying expensive AA batteries, but the battery has died on me a few times coz it did not diligently recharge it before going on my photo taking sprees.

I hope I am posting the write question on the right index


I have been searching for this answer on line but no definite answer. You see, my DS is turning 16months and running in the house and I just cant be able to capture his image in a stable states. Most of his photographs turns out to be blurry. Online recommend DSRL and the aim and shoot type. I just need someone to recommend what cameras they are using, are they good? What is the model? Price? I just need a reference, something below $1000. Anyone care to share?

Like all moms, I am looking for answers to nurture a kid but also trying to find ways to \"preserve\" moments of my angels (before they turn to \"devils\"...haha..)..I thought this will be a good forum to get my answer.

What type of camera are you looking for? DSLR or Point-and-shoot? If you're not familiar with DSLRs then get a point-and-shoot and set it to sports mode. For under $1000 there are a lot of options available for Point-and-shoot. Not much for DSLRs, except for entry level models.

I am indeed not familar with DSLR but willing to learn ( the simple ones).

Point and shoot sports mode is still blury. Maybe mine is a old Panasonic LUMIX... :oops:

Whats a good entry model DSLR model you will recommend?
What about a point and shoot?

I need to buy one as time and his growing up speed is running fast.

For DSLRs, consider Nikon or Canon.


Their websites give a good description of the cameras as well as prices.

If you don't mind learning to use DSLRs, the quality of the pix are much better than point and shoot. And until you learn how to go manual, you can always resort to the auto function. haha!

My DLSR has a function for sports (captures good images of fast-moving children) and can take MULTIPLE continous shots. However, I think it is above your budget.


Alternatively, I bought a Canon camera for my sis recently. It's good in taking fast-moving objects too. It's a simple point & shoot camera that is very responsive.

My couz recently bought a Panasonic weather-proof camera (10m waterproof and 1m shockproof). Looks good cos they used it to take photos of their 4 children playing and the photos really look good.

Go try out at the bigger stores with wider variety. Try shaking while taking photos too.
