Pros
- Kodak AF 3x optical aspheric zoom lens
- 2.4-inch LCD screen
-Perfect Touch Technology
- Face detection
- Blur reduction
- Indoor/Outdoor color display
Cons
- Picture stabilization only works when flash is on.
- Can’t handle larger than 4x6 photos too well.
- Slow to load after taking a picture.

Great camera not only for experienced users, but beginners as well. Kodak is a very good camera for beginners, because they map out things on their devices in an easy-to-understand manner. The price is great, because this way the customer isn’t investing too much into one camera as they learn more about the qualities they like/dislike.


A camera for those just beginning their photography journey.

Pros
- 14x optical zoom.
- Optical Image Stabilizer.
- Enhanced image stabilization.
- 28mm wide-angle lens.
- PureColor System LCD.
- Stereo Sound.
- HDMI output.
- New: scene modes, improved Dynamic mode, better image stabilization.
Cons
- Controls are a bit tricky for beginners.
- Microphone is a bit scratchy when in windy weather.
- Unpredictable with lighting.
Canon really made some great updates for this device. The image stabilization is much better, which is going to make their customers very, very happy. However, after the previous issues people have had, I’m not sure they are going to be willing to pay this price.


A Canon fan who is going to notice the changes made for the better, and not mind that there is still quite a bit of work to be done in the future.

Canon PowerShot SD1400IS

Check Price!!
Pros
- Many exposure controls, good for all types of weather/lighting
- Amazing audio quality
- Optical Image Stablilizer that fights against blur while taking pictures
- Large LCD screen for better control
- Smart AUTO helps select settings for you
- Smart Shutter helps you get a better shot the first time
Cons
- Video quality better than picture quality
- Pictures come out soft
- Poor lens quality
Yes, this camera has some great capabilities but with a bad lens, those things are all scratched out. It seems to me that the image stabilizer doesn’t work as well as it should and that’s fine for people who don’t mind taking a picture a second or third time. However, if you want a consistent camera, this is probably not for you.


A camera for someone who wants a camera, doesn’t care much about settings, mishaps etc. If you are an experienced photographer, this camera will most likely let you down.

Pros
- Camera recognizes what features you need active at the time of each photo to help stabilize.
- Automatically takes photos when someone smiles.
- Two movie modes included.
Cons
- Not rechargeable.
- Fairly large in size.
This camera has a lot of great features, but it almost seems like they’re trying to make up for the fact that the pictures are blurry. The camera doesn’t seem very consistent to me. If you aren’t looking for high quality photos then it should be fine.


A camera for a minimal user, someone who doesn’t care as much about the quality and consistency of the camera but capturing memories.

Nikon Coolpix L110

Pros
- Clear Color Display helps fight brightness and reflection
HD movie capable.
- Sport Continuous Mode lets you take 20 consecutive pictures in about 2 seconds.
- Easy Auto Mode takes over, allowing you to take shots without messing with settings.
Cons
- Record times are short.
- Microphone cannot capture noises more than a few feet away clearly.

This camera is great for taking photos, but videos; not so much. Although the camera is HD capable, the time limit on videos is a bit short and the microphone doesn’t capture subjects more than a few feet away with enough clarity. Overall, a really nice camera though.


This camera is great for a very active person, one who wants to capture those moments that usually are missed. Also for anyone who doesn’t want to have to worry about settings and take pictures without the extra worry.

Canon EOS Rebel T2i

Pros- Fantastic range.
- CMOS Image Sensor creates amazing clarity in almost any environment, even alternating between light and dark.
- Advanced EOS Movie Mode.
- Dual-layer sensor now has 63-zones.
- More useful button layout.
- Wider LCD monitor.
- Compatible with SDXC memory cards as well as all Cannon EF and EF-S lenses.
- Many software upgrades compatible with Windows, Mac etc.
Cons- Difficult to understand video shooting for less experienced individuals
- Lens doesn’t work as well for videos
- Microphone picks up noise it shouldn’t, like lens grinding
This is a great camera for taking pictures. Whether you are an experienced photographer or a beginner in the field, the camera is very easy to understand and learn. However, the video portion is a bit more complex and usually customers will modify their camera because the lens isn’t truly made for video.


This camera is great for most people as far as pictures go, but videos would be better for an experienced individual who is willing to modify the camera.

Pros
- Shoots HD videos with stereo sound.
- 12x wide-angle optical zoom.
- Many Scene Modes for videos and images to make things more interesting.
- Smart Flash.
- Large LCD screen for better viewing capabilities.
Cons
- Battery not rechargeable.
- Battery life is very short.
Overall this sounds like a very good camera, but the fact that the battery life is so short makes all the positives a bit iffy. If the camera can only handle about 50 shots or a short video before going dead, not too much can be accomplished. If there is a fix for this problem, then this camera would be pretty amazing.


A camera good for a basic user who doesn’t take too many shots or videos at once.

Overall, this sounds like a really nice camera. For this price, I don’t think you really can expect too much as far as consistency. Placement of the lens is inconvenient, but nothing that can’t be worked around.


A great camera for people who want to keep up with the latest technology without breaking the bank. Anyone who wants to share their pictures with large groups of people at once, anywhere.

Pros
- Pocket sized.
- Great for low light environment.
- Control ring is completely customizable.
- Wide-angle 3.8x optical zoom.
- Optical Image Stabilizer.
- Recoding modes include RAW and JPEG.
Cons
- Poor battery life.
- Cheap design
- Small rear control ring moves too easily, easy to hit it on accident.
A nice camera overall. The only problems are minor in my opinion, but would bother someone who maybe takes their camera on the road with them and needs a longer battery life. The price seems a bit steep though for such a cheaply made camera.


A pretty good camera for beginners, but not really for more professional photographers.

A great camera for a budding photographer. Sure, the smile and blink detection may be a bit inconsistent, but that keeps the fun in photography.

Pros
-Admirable picture quality with amazing zoom function and skin softening

-Motion Detection picks up on moving objects and adjusts the speed of the shutter to accommodate
-Easy to access controls

-Take HD movies on the go
-Extremely fast start-up with autofocus, so you never miss a shot
Cons
-Slower than previous version
-Doesn't save very fast
-External flash could be better

This camera has a lot of really good features, but the fact that it’s a bit slow may be upsetting to some people. If you need to take multiple pictures at once, and have a short amount of time in-between shots, this may not be the best camera for you. I think this is great for everyday use though.

This camera sounds really nice overall. Some people are having problems with freezing but other than that, things sound pretty nice. I do think the video focus problem is a bit annoying, but I’ve seen worse. Overall, I would probably give this 4 out of 5 stars.


Good camera for all types of people, as long as you don’t mind reading the manual and taking your time to learn a few things.

-HD Movie capable.
-Amazing sound quality.
-Travel Mode includes GPS for Photos and Movies and playback that lets you search for videos and pictures while you were in a certain place.
-Zoom is fantastic.
Cons
-Battery life isn’t enough for some.
-Video and photo quality could be better.
It sounds to me like this camera has a lot of cool features that the manufacturers want to show off, but not the goods to back them up. If you are going to offer 23.4 Optical Zoom, then the picture quality better be pretty darn good or there’s really no point in that amount of zoom. For this price, I would expect more.


A camera for those of us who aren’t as experienced in the photography world.

Pros
-“Smart” camera.
-Slim design.
-Great zoom and image stabilization.
-HD movie shooting and HDMI output.
-Smart AUTO selects from 22 settings automatically for better photos.
-New Scene Modes for better picture alteration capabilities
400-6400 ISO in Low Light mode.
-Smart Shutter helps you detect changes in your photos so you get the best picture every time (ie. If someone blinked, or didn't smile).
Cons
-No viewfinder.
-No optical zoom during video recording.
-Class 4 SD card or higher is needed (Not mentioned by company).
I guess this is an alright price for this camera but I would expect a little more from Canon. For this price, you would think that the pictures would be more than just “decent” or “alright”. I find the fact that you can’t zoom during videos a bit strange. I personally feel that’s a must.

-Very easy to use.
-Compact.

Cons
-There have been firmware complaints.
-Auto focus messes with the audio within videos.
I realize that this is a camera and not a camcorder, but you would think that since Nikon has the video feature that they would put more work into it. I realize that video isn’t usually a top priority with people who buy cameras, but it’s important to me. I personally wouldn’t buy this for video purposes. I would find something with better sound quality.

This camera does a lot for the price. I’ve seen cameras for $1,500-2,000 that don’t even offer some of these things. However, the autofocus is a major part of a camera and when it’s off, it can really alter your photos. If they can somehow fix the autofocus, all would be dandy.
