Best Small Digital Camera

21 December 2008

A lot of people have been asking what are the Best Small Digital Cameras. Personally I am still a fan of Canons line of point and shoot cameras. Canon’s new PowerShot SD1100 IS is a great small digital camera. Not only is it a great little camera, but its cheap as well. Retail is only about $199.00.

This new PowerShot comes in a variety of colors including Blue, Silver, Pink, Brown and Golden. This small digital camera boasts:

-8.0 Mega Pixels
-3.0x Optical Zoom
-2.5″ LCD
-4.0x Digital Zoom

So based on Size, Functionality and Cost I am giving my vote to the Powershot SD1100 as my Best Small Digital Camera.

Lately, there’s been a glut of news about the benefits of the creative pursuits. Writing, cooking, even sewing have made the list of things you can do to alleviate stress and sharpen your everyday skills.

But let’s not forget about the digital world, and the way it’s changed the face of one ages-old artistic pursuit. Digital cameras have made it possible for so many people to produce photographs nearing professional quality, and that has made all the difference in opening up a new hobby to folks who might have otherwise shied away from the admittedly complicated world of cameras.

Digital cameras professional have succeeded where manual cameras fall flat—even in point-and-shoot mode, regular cameras fail to nullify, or even de-mysticize, many issues that the non-professional photographer might have with traditional cameras. Really, when you think about it, the whole point of owning cameras only amounts to one thing: the desire to produce professional-looking photography. And digital cameras make it easier for anyone to produce a good set of photographs—and memories—without having to remember too much about semi-professional details like f-stops, developing solution, or even color balance.

However, if you’re into that kind of thing, a good digital camera will also allow you to play professional photographer: you can turn off the digital aids on the camera entirely, allowing you to play with all of the above mentioned. And you can even, once you get the photographs on your computer screen, opt out of any other sort of digital manipulation, if you really want to play the purist.

But consider, too, that the digital manipulation of photographs can be a curiously meditative task too. Think about it. You start with a regular, run-of-the-mill portrait. A few clicks of the mouse in the right program, and suddenly you’ve got a portrait that looks like it was shot by a professional photographer—in the 1800s.  Or maybe you have a nice, standard landscape photo. A couple of adjustments, and you still have a landscape—but it looks like a Digital Cameras Professional painting. It’s called being in control, and for some, that’s pretty soothing, even if you’re really just in digital control.

And then, with all those great new, digital photographs, you can turn to another soothing pursuit: the art of professional scrapbooking.
