For perfect photos, fast and simple, there's nothing better than Canon's new EOS Rebel XS. With powerful features including a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, Canon's DIGIC III processor, fast shooting and more, it's a digital powerhouse. With simple, easy-to-use controls, a compact design, a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, and Live View Function, it's a beginner's dream come true.I want to save you the time and uncertainty in choosing the best affordable DSLR. For those considering the Canon EOS Rebel XS, the Olympus E-510 or the Nikon D40 / D40x / D60, I believe the Canon XS is the best choice. Also, at the price difference between the XS and the SXi ($150-200 as of December '08), the XS is an excellent alternative--both take exactly the same high quality pictures, save the 2MP difference, which is negligible at the end. Please note that the XS's new lens kit comes with the better quality EFS 18-55 Image Stabilization lens (they are better engineered); and that Canon is offering nowadays generous rebates on telephoto lenses when coupled with the purchase of the XS (I bought mine with the entry-level Canon EF 75-300mm III lens with a generous instant Canon rebate. Don't buy from anybody different from B&H Photo, directly from Amazon, Adorama, Buydig/Beach Camera; stay away from Broadway Photo and TriState).
Canons are popular for the excellent image processing. Nikons for their Nikor lenses. Olympus, some say, for the color of some of the pictures they take.
The Olympus E-510 has important flaws, e.g., the average performance in high ISO speeds and highlight blowing. Also, its inconsistency with good results is worth noting.
The Nikon D40 lacks important features, e.g., image stabilization in their kit lens. The D60 is lacking the high picture quality ratings of the Canon XS. Both Nikons are nice looking, which is a selling factor I usually consider; but picture quality should be your top criterion for the long run.
Don't go through the extensive research I have already done (months, and intense debating). The Canon XS is a winner (specially with the new IS lens kit), even more with its current price (Dec. '08: $480). It is feature rich (you can even add 3 of your preferred defined Picture Style modes), good/professional looking (black body), even the sound of the shooter is nicer than the others. Bottom line: Excellent picture quality, high ISO/low light remarkable performance, and relevant features and space for customization make the Canon XS a winner for months and even years to come.

Nikon Coolpix L20 10MP Digital Camera with 3.6 Optical Zoom and 3 inch LCD (Deep Red)...
12/20/2009
Capture and share your favorite memories with Nikon’s new Coolpix L20 and its 10.0 effective megapixels, 3.6x zoom and a bright, high-resolution 3.0-inch LCD screen. Motion Detection automatically detects subject movement and adjusts the shutter speed and ISO to compensate for camera shake and minimize image blur. The camera’s Easy Auto Mode with Scene Auto Selector simplifies your picture-taking experience by letting camera automatically select the best setting to get great pictures. Nikon’s Smart Portrait System combines four different technologies that will fix red-eye, detect faces, fire the shutter when your subject smiles and warn you if they blink, to get you great portraits.
I recently purchase the Nikon Coolpix L20 after lots of shopping.
I have used only Olympus cameras only up to now.
This time I wanted a smaller pocket sized camera, that still took the AA batteries, and that still gave great photos with all the features I was used to.
This camera fit the bill!
It takes 2 AA batteries, inexpensive SD memory cards and yet still delivers fantastic photos.
I have already tried all the features, and was completly happy.
I love using the different scene settings, and could not live without the video feature.
Both still and video capture worked well in both bright light and low light.
The sound playback via the camera is hard to distinquish (live music), but fine once uploaded.
I didn't really require the smile feature, but tried it out on my 3 year old, and was blown away....it really works!
The blink feature is also quite ingenious. The camera actually asks you if your subject blinked when they do, but not when they don't. This is particularly handy when taking photos of children. I would have loved this feature when I was still my daughter's yearbook photographer.
olympus stylus 800 digital camera...
9/06/2009
See all you could see with one of the most full-featured compact cameras ever. Enjoy amazing detail with 8 megapixels. Experience the view on a large, super clear 2.5" HyperCrystal LCD. Feel comfortable with a built-in Help Guide. Feel confident with Bright Capture Technology for improved previewing and shooting in low light situations. With an all-weather design to take on the elements, and 24 shooting modes to take on any situation.
I switched my old Minolta Z1 with this amazing camera. My main criterias were good happens in night shots and compact size with best optics.
Stylus 800 didn't fail me in any of this criteria, contrariwise it provide me with even more functions I honoured by really snowy weather in Alps (it is water resistant) and with those Scene modes it's producing even better pictures than I can manualy set.
Pros:
- great resolution (you can enlarge small point on the picture and can see what it realy is)
- good autofocus indoor and by room-light
- water resistance (no more stress from rain, waves or anything else)
- heavy metal body
- very fast 1st picture (lens go out in a wink)
- large LCD with great resolution
- very useful ISO 1600 function by evening scenes or fast moving scenes (only 3MPix, but thats enough for travelers like me) without "snow" on pictures
- good flash distance for a compact
- good battery lifetime (I can fill my 1GB card on 1 charge)
Cons:
- slow down picture download to computer (USB 1.0 exclusively - with my 1GB card it takes a while - about 15-20 min.)
- slow video (only 15 frames ps) with only digital zoom during recording
- flash recharging sometimes takes a while (about 5 sec)
- leather bag delivered in accessory kit without pocket for second battery (where do you want to lose it again)
- without "anti-red-eye" flash it makes almost always red eyes, but there is software correction accessible directly in camera or in included software
- software included for managing pictures is slow and too functionally, what leads to dificulty (I lost several pictures after I made a red eye correction and tried to save it - result was .jpg file but corrupted, really unconvenient bug)
