Which of these cameras should I go with?

Hi all,
    I am buying my wife a new digital camera for Christmas.  My budget is $200-$300.  I have it narrowed down to these:
Olympus Factory Refurbished SP-800 UZ- $229
Nikon Coolpix P100- $319
Kodak Easyshare Z981-$ 200
Nikon Coolpix L110 $195
Nikon Finepix S2700 $$199.99
She likes the look and feel of a SLR, which all of these have. 
So which one is the best and why?

For a non-SLR choice, I would recommend a Canon G12.  It has many SLR features(exposure compensation, diopter) and produces excellent images.
FWIW, the Canon point-N-shoots continue to win most of the reviews in that category.
For small SLRs, check out the Nikon D7000 or Canon 60D.
As of now, Nikon is winning the high ISO battle over Canon, but either brand will produce excellent images.  Nikon's do render skin tones better, if that matters.
If you go the SLR route, just make sure to ditch (keep) the kit lens and get either brand's highly rated (expensive) zoom or fixed lenses to reap the benefits of the current crop of sensors.  Without good glass, you will never realize the full potential of your expensive SLR.  An inexpensive body with an expensive lens wins every time.
If it were me, I would not consider any brands other than these.
One last piece of advice, if you go the SLR route, never purchase a third-party kens.  They just don't make the cut.  I know from experience.
Thanks,

I disagree here.  Older third-party lenses were often junk, but modern ones can be quite good.
At this point, nearly all of my glass is third-party (Sigma and Tamron), mostly Sigma.
If you want an ultrazoom, Sigma and Tamron are really the only way to go - The Tamron 18-250 was the first UZ lens to be regarded as "good" (not excellent, but considering most of its predecessors were "crud", a major step up).  The 18-270 was an improvement, and Sigma's 18-250 DC OS HSM is a great lens - While I have better (faster or longer) glass, the 18-250 is my vacation lens.
However, if not going for a fullblown SLR, I agree - the G12 is the way to go.  It doesn't have that "SLR feel", but as I stated above - the "SLR feel" is a disadvantage unless you actually are using an SLR.

    Thanks,

    You got to do better than that.
    Any idea on the TYPE of sony video camera's available to you? They make quite a few.
    I'd stay away from anything with a DVD in it... also HDV can be tricky too... but not undoable.
    What are you looking for?

  • Which version of camera raw will work with elements 9 and a Nikon D5100? How do I download photos to it?

    I have Photoshop Elements 9 and use a Nikon D5100.  I have downloaded camera raw 6.5 but cannot download photos to it.  Does camera raw start automatically or do I have to manual start it?

    That did I, thanks.

  • Which of these accesories will work 100% with the iPod Nano?

    title about sums it, which will work with the ipod nano:
    Radio Remote
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MA0 70G/A
    AV Connection Kit
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MA2 42LL/A
    ALSO is the av kit overkill for the iPod Nano? The av cable looks like it would not work,no video from Ipod so what the point of a video cable? Also I am pretty sure it doesn't have an ir reciever for a wireless remote so what that part of the av kit be useless too?

    The a/v kit won't work with the nano. Specifically the v part. The audio and the rest will work, though.
    The radio remote works 100% with the nano.

  • HT1414 When updating my iphone with new software it came up on screen with the cable and itunes sign (which is what I should get when restoration has been completed) yet it is still saying restore. I have tried 3 times and the screen won't change. HELP!

    When updating my iphone with new software it came up on screen with the cable and itunes sign (which is what I should get when restoration has been completed) yet it is still saying restore. I have tried 3 times and the screen won't change. HELP!

    If the sign does not go away it has not completed the restore. So you are incorrect when you say it "keeps completing the restore" if that message is still displayed.
    Do you get an error message? If so, what is the error number?

  • Itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?

    itunes is copying/converting 500gb of music from .wma to .m4a files that are on an external drive onto my laptop which doesnt have enough room. how do i reroute these newly converted files somewhere with enough space for them?
    new to itunes, used windows media player before that and always ripped music directly to an external hardrive and accessed it through the player. now that i downloaded itunes it is taking from the external hardrive and copying a second file for each song onto my lap top hard drive which does not have the capacity for all my music. as itunes converts music files i want them saved back onto my external drive or another location i have space for rather than the lap top. how do i change the setting to move the itunes media folder to another location. assuming that hitting copy and past and dropping it in a random location will cause a few errors.

    When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
    My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
    As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file.

  • DNG CONVERTER:Which version of Camera Raw should I choose?

    What I need to uinderstand, is what are the real benefits of converting RAW files into DNG for the newest version of Camera Raw( not compatible with older versions)? ( dng CONVERTER/ PREFFERENCES)
    If I convert a RAW file for use in older versions of Camera Raw, the created DNG file will also be compatible with the newer versions of Camera Raw. But if I convert the RAW file into a DNG for the latest version of Camera Raw, the DNG file will not be compatible with older versions of Camera Raw.
    Therefore, can somebody explain me the reason to convert Raw files into the latest version of Camera Raw? ( Enhanced metadata? ... what?)
    THANKS

    1. Im building my personal image database in an external HDD, based on DNG files.
    2. DVDs are only for original Backup purpose. Not to manage my database/image bank
    I personally feel it's a bad idea to use DVDs or any other optical media for long-term storage purposes. They are fine for short term storage or for transferring a small number of files between systems. LR requires that image files be kept in the same  folder and subfolder locations, which is why you should never move files or folders outside of LR. It will be very difficult to restore the raw files to the exact same folder hierarchy as the DNGs with them stored on multiple DVDs.

    3. As a cheap security and diversified tool to keep my original raw files, DVDs are ok. Having all my backup in an external HDD I dont like it that way.Preffer to have my images spread in 50 DVDs rather than only one external HDD.
    I don´t like to put all the eggs on the same basket. Diverisifcation is a wise idea.
    You can place the raw files on a separate external HDD so "all your eggs" aren't in one basket. Just make sure you retain the same folder and subfolder orginization as used on the primary DNG external HDD.
    Are you also backing up your DNG files and LR catalog(s) to a 2nd separate backup drive? This is advisable for backup purposes if you want to be able to restore the catalog(s) and DNG files should your primary external HDD fail.

  • [Need Help] Which rMBP congifguration should i settle with for College ?

    So i need so guideance ;
    i am planning on purchasing a rMBP for my college carreer and as many are, i am stuck with the configuration page.
    - i am VERY concerned with the longevity of my investment, i want it to last me at least four years
    - i am a stickler for immediate responsivness of my machine. if i turn on, start up, power off, open an application, there must be NO delay.
    im set on purchasing a 13 inch , and its uses will entail writing papers, long periods of usage (8+ hrs) surfing the web, maybe playing some java games and what not.
    should i go with a
    256 GB SSD 8GB RAM
    256 GB SSD 16GB RAM
    512 GB SSD 8GB RAM ?
    do i really need 16 GB RAM and a 512 SSD ?
    i dont know which configuration would satisfy my conditions. im familiar with computers and hardware and im not concerned with the integrated GPU , or the dual core i5 vs the quad core i7
    and do these upgrades justify the price hike ?
    id really appreciate some feed back.

    1. Enterprise, about the same dl as personal, so why not.
    2. Win2k Pro will do nicely(dont bother with Server, unless u need server for other purposes as well)
    3. JDeveloper is good, however as a newbie i think u should start out in notepad or alike.

  • Which wattage adapter should I use with the composite cable with my iPad?

    Which wattage adapter should I use with the composite cable when connected to my iPad while watching T. V. .

    Ultimately, use the power adapter that came with the iPad. But you should use any USB based power adapter that has a 10 watt/ 2 amp or higher power rating. Look close when buying a thrid party adapter, if it does not specify 10 watts/2 amps it is a lower 5 watt/1 amp charger that will not work.

  • Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

    Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks in advance.

    I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
    Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
    If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be  adjusted.
    I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).

  • Please help! Will any of these camera's work with VC3 Camera Requirements?

    I am looking to do news broadcasts for my website. I was looking into Panasonic GS-500, GOOD CAMERA, discontinued. I don't like the GS320 as it doesn't include a mic or headphone input. So I have no choice but to spendaround a thousand dollars for a 3CCD or CMOS camera that can shoot good broadcast web news segments.
    I have narrowed my choice to three camera's that have mic, firewire, essential for VC3 but I can't decide. I don't know if they are compatibile with the software, need help from the experts.
    This is requirement from the adobe website:
    ******What types of cameras can I use with Visual Communicator?*******
    Visual Communicator works with standard webcams and camcorders. Most camcorders will require some kind of video input card such as a FireWire (IEEE 1394) card or an analog capture card. Whether you are using a webcam or camcorder, it's important that the camera or input card has a Windows®driver that is DirectShow compatible. Most of them do. If your device is older, you might need to visit the manufacturer's website to download a new driver that is DirectShow compatible. Inside Visual Communicator you will find a menu that lists all of the DirectShow devices attached to your computer, and you can select which one you wish to use for your video input. If you have an analog video capture card, you can also hook up your VCR and use recorded footage.*********
    Could you please read the specs and let me know if they will work with VC3:
