QUOTE: Originally posted by dsktc You are mistaken, sir. Most digital cameras produce a great deal of electronic noise at ISO 400 and above. The Canon DSLRs, 20D, 5D and pro series, are an exception. Here is a photo taken at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh at ISO 800: http://www.pbase.com/dsktc/image/56377888 If you attempted this with a camera that generates a lot of noise at ISO 800, the image would be crap.

QUOTE: Originally posted by oltmannd I won't disagree with anything anyone else has posted, but do want to add that the best camera is one you will use. If you buy a DSLR and it sits in the closet because it's too big and bulky to carry around the bag with all your lenses, then it is a poor choice. If you buy a "point and shoot" and just don't bother using it because you are disappointed with the picture quality or lack of flexibility, then it is a poor choice. I have a Kodak DX7590. It has a 10X optical zoom and enough exposure and control flexibility to get the shots I'm looking for. It rides around in my brief case, so I always have it handy. The picture quality isn't what you'd get with a DSLR - mostly due to sensor noise and that it only stores pictures as jpgs - but I am more than willing to trade off those for the smaller size.

QUOTE: Originally posted by BNSFrailfan Ok. I need you Railfans help. I want to get myself a good Digital Camera. The problem is,the Megapixels. What would be the best in Megapixel wise? 1MP? 2MP? 3MP? And so on. I was thinking of a 5MP. Help! Is there a web site out there that can give me an idea? Thanks,Allan.

QUOTE: Originally posted by railfanespee4449 I have a Kodak Easyshare C643, and it is great except for the well-known problem of lower-end digital cameras- look at the slanted lines. Does anyone have any tips about getting rid of that problem? Would using "Landscape" help?
