What makes a good digital camera?
i want a digital camera that’s small and can fit in a pocket, has atleast 6x optical zoom (want the quality of pictures to be 35mm), and has good megapixels..
anybody have good suggestions?
i would really appreciate this..
thanks in advanced
You’re making a lot of demands. I don’t know if this camera exists. You would want to have a 1/1.8″ sensor and probably 10 MP. Here are five cameras that were reviewed by Popular Photography a few months back. None of them have more than 3X zoom, though, unless you count digital zoom. You can use digital zoom for just a LITTLE bit more zoom, but don’t bother going more than one tap on the zoom in digital zoom mode.
You can see the article and their reviews and test shots at http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/3471/high-5-10mp-compacts.html Click on the name of each camera to read a detailed review.
From these, I chose the Canon SD900 for my personal pocket camera and I’ve been very happy with the overall quality. No, it’s NOT as good as 35 mm, but nothing that you can put into your pocket is going to perform at that level.

Here is one photo I put on-line that I took with the SD900. Click on “All Sizes” and view this as large as possible and check out the birds. This was taken right after sunset and there were no enhancements in afterprocessing.
Here’s another photo with no post-processing at all. It was taken at the full 111 mm (equiv) zoom. It was taken in the fully automatic mode with no help from me at all. The horizon is crooked because the camera was resting on the top of my car. I did not want to alter anything, because this is part of a 3-image series comparing optical zoom with cropping to digital zoom. You can look at the other pictures while you are there and see why optical zoom is all that matters.
Here’s an SD900 photo with a moderate amount of post-processing, but not so much as to make it appear artificial. This was taken in macro mode from about 6 or 8 inches away.
Here is a comparison between 10 MP image from the SD900 and a 6 MP image from an SD700-IS, but you can use it as a sample image from the SD900.
Here is another sample that is not intended to show off the SD900 so much, but to comapare it for the sake of a discussion on sensor size. However, you can get an idea of the general quality of the image.
