If you’re an intermediate level digital photographer, you might
be looking for a good advanced digital camera. I know it’s very
tough to decide on which one to buy – given that these models
usually cost a bomb. A good advanced digital camera should be
pretty rugged and also give you as much control over the
photography process as possible. I’ve compiled a list of the top
10 advanced digital cameras that are selling like hotcakes in
the market right now. Canon EOS 20D The Canon EOS-20D is one of
the best digital cameras for the advanced user. With an 8.2
megapixel resolution and a bewildering range of manual modes,
this digital SLR will deliver professional looking photos.
Canon PowerShot G6 The Canon PowerShot G6 has a 7.1 megapixel
resolution, a 4x optical zoom, as well as a wide range of scene
modes and manual controls. Even though it lacks a digital SLR
body, the images shot with this camera are nothing short of
outstanding. It’s also one of the cheapest advanced digital
cameras out there.
Olympus C-7000 The Olympus C-7000 zoom offers a 7.1 megapixel
resolution and 5x optical zoom. It also boasts 5 scene modes and
full manual options. A very attractive buy, although the
optional lenses are not allowed.
Nikon D70 The Nikon D70 is one of the best-selling entry level
digital SLRs. It has a solid design, a bewildering range of
options, powerful speed, as well as great photo quality. With
its cheap price, this 6.1 megapixel SLR is one of the best value
cameras for serious photographers looking to upgrade their
camera.
Canon Digital Rebel The 6.3 megapixel Canon Digital Rebel is a
direct competitor to the Nikon D70. It targets photographers at
the lower end of the advanced digital SLR market. Its low price,
excellent image quality and speed give the Nikon D70 a run for
its money.
Sony Cybershot Pro DSC-V3 The Sony Cybershot Pro DSC-V3 is a
decent advanced camera which is light and easy to use. With its
7.2 megapixel resolution and 4x optical zoom, it’s a great buy.
Do note the colors can be a bit poor in some shots.
Canon EOS-1D Mark II The Canon EOS-1D Mark II is a new digital
SLR aimed at professional photographers who want excellent
customization options, great photo quality and impressive speed.
This 8 megapixel camera is high on my list of recommendations.
Olympus C-8080 With its 8 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom, the
Olympus C-8080 represents great value for those hunting for a
digital SLR. While it doesn’t sell as well as the Canon and
Nikon SLRs, I think Olympus comes up with pretty decent advanced
cameras too.
Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 The Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 is a hot
favorite amongst professionals. From a feature and function
point of view, it’s one of the best digital SLRs I’ve seen.
However, the build quality lacks that nice and heavy SLR feel.
Sony DSC-F828 Featuring a whopping 8 megapixel image resolution,
the Sony DSC-F828 comes replete with a powerful 7X zoom lens and
great camera optics. Very nice camera indeed.
Conclusion There are lot of cameras suitable for the advanced
digital photographer, but the list above covers some of my
favorites. I particularly like the Nikon D70 and Minolta DiIMAGE
A2. One shopping tip to remember is that the camera above tend
to be more expensive than the average point-and-shoot model. So
do consider carefully whether you need to features before buying
the camera. If you\'re just starting out in digital photography,
you may want to try a simpler and cheaper model first.
