| My two cents of wisdom! Quote:
The megapixels does not determine how good a DSLR is. Rather it is the feature set and the image quality that makes a DSLR stand out from the rest. The 6 Megapixel Nikon D40 is one of the cheapest and best DSLRs around especially when you consider its price. It is also ideal for beginners. And also as navin had stated, there are many lenses available depending on your budget. As your budget goes up, so does the lens quality! And the only person who can tell you how much zoom you are going to need is yourself! | |

| I am just a beginner in photography, and I want to improve my self. So I need a Digital camera which is simple and without any Pro features, and I prefer a manual focus camera. ( I have a 15k budget) I have a question, I don't if  ! Is the manual focus and the DSLR are the same? |

I do not think anyone here will consider my advice on photography. ICE maybe, but photography - no way!  | |

Had a friend bring it from the US. Around 15K INR. Also was pleasantly surprised to see 'Made in Japan' on the camera body. I thought most of these are made in China/SE Asia. | |

The S90 has problems in Auto mode. Definitely an advanced user's (maybe that's what she is? ) P&S with lots of creative control. Last edited by proton : 28th December 2009 at 16:05. Reason: sd880 recco | |

Olympus must have realized how bad this was and discontinued it. They've already pumped out the FE-46, which seems to at least be an improvement on this box of bolts. Opt for that model, or better yet, try the Canon SD1200. The Worst Cameras of 2009 - Unbiased digital camera reviews, prices, and advice | |
