What is the best resolution for a web camera?

Camera Choosing Help, Please?

  • I'm more of a camcorder person myself and now I find myself searching for a camera that is right for me. I need a camera that has good resolution (not too low, not too high) just for life's moments, but also good enough for the times when I edit planned photos. The pictures will mostly belong on the web and not be printed very much. I need one that is compact as well since I want to take it (and use it in daily life.) I would also prefer for a camera with video capture. I've been looking into the Samsung Innov8, a cellphone with 6 megapixels because it seems to have high resolution as well as being a slim, sleek, portable phone. I'm a bit confused on the whole megapixel thing as well, more is better? It doesn't matter? Could someone please guide me in the direction of a camera that matches my description? Thank you.

I usually go to www.dpreview.com whenever I'm confused with the camera brands/models/functions. In that website, almost all brands & models of cameras are rated by professionals, and every single tiny detail of each & every feature is provided. At the end they also give a conclusion report and whether they recommend it or not. Go for strong reliable brands such as Canon or Nikon. These go way back in digital photography technology research and will give you peace of mind with their products. Anyway good luck with your decision :))

The all time winner bargain compact digital camera is the Canon 7.1 megapixel PowerShot SD1000 [not the SD1100 [IS] 7.1 with an added 2- gig memory card which when set in the manual mode for "Vivid" colors and videos at 30 fps in 320 dpi format provides killer images and videos under low light conditions. It's especially good for low-light concerts. The macro feature is superb for taking closeups of small butterflies, insects, etc. It currently sells for $140 at techgearnow.com: http://www.techgearnow.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=278&custid=7117517ba359642445a5622c0eba34eb Good luck!
