Best digital camera- EASE, FACES, EVENTS
Greetings. Google search indicated most "best digital camera" threads
have price as a parameter. May I inquire using others? Feel free to point me to a previous thread. 1. For university webpage work. Sometimes, the print media folks will want to use one of the photos. 2. Need low tech or point+shoot technology. I regret not having the time to learn more photo skills, but in three years of owning an Olympus C-2100 (a privilege of which I was completely unworthy), I've never had the time to do so and, with PHP to learn and my knowledge of Photoshop still less than it should be, it's time to stop pretending I ever will. 3. Shoot primarily indoor and outdoor portraits (athletes, graduating seniors) and indoor and outdoor events (Commencement, Homecoming parades and parties and football games). I've really struggled with yellow and green skin from indoor lighting (and red eyes if I use the flash despite the pre-flash preventative). 4. The ability to shoot 5 or 6 multi-second action sequences on a single media source (and then grab high-quality stills from the footage) would be nice. I'm thinking about a Stylus 500, theorizing that a) those 21 modes are going to cover most of the shooting I do and b) it's not really necessary anymore to spend $5,000-$10,000 on a digital camera to get photos that are professional enough for a college webpage (and high-pixel enough for print use if necessary... not in our outsourced glossy VIEW BOOKS but in our in-house alumni publication). Basically true? Dead wrong? Thanks for your help. RW -- -------------------------------------- "I'm a Slytherin, Potter," Malfoy reminded him.
