What digital camera should I buy? It’s a question I get a lot, so I’ve identified some favorites with the help of Consumer Reports.
If you’re gonna buy one, follow the links, eh? They’re affiliate links so I get a small percent and you pay the same price you’d pay going on Amazon directly. 
Best digital camera december 2011
- Looking for a low-priced but highly rated slim camera? The Panasonic DMC-FH25K tops the ratings on Amazon. It’s $146 bucks.
- Looking for a mid-priced advanced feature “point and shoot”? The Canon Powershot G12 tops the list. It’s a steal at $379 with top ratings by Consumer Reports and high consumer ratings on Amazon.
- Looking for a smaller, lighter camera that still allows you to change the lense? That’s either the Sony SLT-A55VL ($799) or the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 (also $799) that I own. It takes great pictures and video, and I like the depth of field with the lense.
- Finally, looking for an SLR with more advanced features? Check the Canon EOS 60D ($1119) or Nikon D7000 ($1499). These are obviously for advanced users as they’re not cheap. If you feel like buying me a Christmas present either one would be fabulous.
Then there’s this option if you’re in debt like me, and are feeling nostalgic.
I thought you were babysitting this weekend. Where did you store the kids while you were writing two blogs?
Hey Nalts, when did your blog go down the
roaddrain of content farms?Dont worry, pretty soon the kids will all be safely tucked into bed and you can start drinking.
Get a canon dslr camera, for example canon 600D or 5D or even the 7D what charles has
Now when we say Camera, we have to ask what we are usuing it for? Photos, Videos or both.
I think I’ll stick with my Canon 7D. At least until the 1DX or 5D mark III are available.
Man, I want a DSLR so bad, especially the Canon 60D. I could use it for so many projects for my “job,” but the 60D definitely out of my price range. *sigh* If I ever get it, though, I’ll use your affiliate link because by that time it’ll be old technology and super cheap.

Aw, I have no more use for such devices now that I work for the Veterans Administration
Too bad you don’t have any lenses linked. I’ve probably spent at least four times as much on glass as I did on the body.
I think that Nikon D3100 is the best for beginners and makes a wonderful gift. It’s really good DSLR camera and it’s cheaper than 500 dollars! I really recommend it.
