byninigirl11 Apr 29, 2007
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Brilliant design and colors
Cons Poor optical zoom, light and motion sensitive
Recommended it? No

If consumers are searching for a digital camera with high quality images, efficient zoom ability, and sophisticated focus settings, the Canon PowerShot SD30 is not the camera for them.

Excellent Compact Digital Camera

bysenchang Dec 11, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ease of use, quality of pictures, design
Cons Dock required to upload to PC.
Recommended it? Yes

In my camera purchase decision, I looked for quality, ease of use, and price. Quality and ease of use was easy to narrow down. My Canon-owning friends love their cameras, and online reviews are nearly unanimous in praising Canon's picture quality. The decison was between the SD400 and the SD30. I... Read full review »

Nikon D5100 SLR digital camera 16 MP: A great SLR camera for the money

byyakkowarner Aug 29, 2011
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Interchangeable lens, easy to use, lots of features, takes movies and photos, works ...
Cons Price, only 16 mega-pixels, no internal motor, only one control wheel instead of 2.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a 16 mega pixel SLR camera. You have the option to change lens, customize many setting, and you get higher quality pictures as an end product. It is also a faster camera than most point and shoot’s available. I do not have the lag between pressing the picture button and the camera... Read full review »

Best bang for the buck in APS-C DSLR cameras

byaloofyouth Dec 19, 2011
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Best bang for the buck DSLR camera in its price/size bracket
Cons Flash lacks commander mode capability
Recommended it? Yes

My user experiences are marked in italics.

The Nikon D5100 is a DSLR camera ("digital single lens reflex" so what you see through the optical viewfinder or on the LCD screen is what you get in the photo; you are literally seeing through the lens, so there is no parallax error). I bought it... Read full review »
