Author: I figured either for christmas or my birthday I would ask for a Digital Camera to take to Disney. I want one that takes good quality pictures and video, and I want the video to have sound. My mom’s digital camera sucks with pictures and video and whenever we film video it has no audio because it was dropped. What kind of camera would be best? And does Disney allow cameras on rides, and can I film around the park as well or at restaurants in the park or in stores at the park? Thanks for your help!
What is your price range? If you are looking for something $100, I would recommend the FujiFilm FinePix AX330. I had an older version of this camera and really liked it. I thought I was upgrading when I got a Nikon point and shoot camera, but it takes horrible indoor pics (makes people look like wax figures). I would think this one would be as good as my old one since it’s an upgrade. Takes HD video too. Not sure if Disney "allows" them on rides, but I’ve always taken mine and was never asked to put it away or anything. And yes you can take pics in the park and stores. Hope that helps!

When buying a new digital Camera, the options can be is not expected. There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say, what is better. But there are two very important things you should keep in mind.
First of all, a home digital cameras or cameras for first-time isn’t designed for business or professional used. Home Digital Cameras often do not have enough optical resources or the right business applications. If you have a camera for first-time, you should purchase a second one that is appropriately designed for advanced users. A 2 – 3 MP camera isn’t going to give you acceptable sized prints for hanging on your wall – unless you’ll be satisfied with 4×6. You’ll want at least 6 to 8mp to successfully make large prints and even then you’ll want to use the highest resolution your camera allows.
Secondly, regardless of the type of camera you buy – digicam or DSLR – you’ll still need to spend some time to READ AND STUDY the Owner’s Manual for it. IMO 90% of the problems people have with their cameras is due to Operator Error – they simply do not know how to use the camera. A few hours with the Owner’s Manual will save many many hours of frustration and/or disappointment.
I suggest you visit a professional camera store and seek the advice of a trained salesperson. Then buy your camera from that salesperson. Some camera stores even offer an hour or two of hands-on instruction with your purchase. You also can to get that on-line from at BestBuy or Circuit City or Nstuf or other online shops.
Now here are some tips to get you started.
What gives a camera its picture quality?
The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.
Many of the new cameras come with different parameters.
Megapixel resolution for photo-quality. More is better? Not always. Without a doubt, higher-resolution digital cameras from the same manufacture with the same optics will produce sharper, cleaner pictures – most new brand name consumer Digital Cameras sold now are high-resolution, and most people are not using their full capabilities as is!
Optical zoom.
Optical zoom is nice, but do not be fooled – More and more camera manufacturers are choosing to label their digital cameras with the total (optical + digital) zoom.
Camera Size and weight – these parameters are very important – after all you plan to take your camera somewhere, and you do not want to carry a brick in your pocket.
Finally, if you are not sure about what new digital camera you need for you, this is the time to speak with a consultant. Good luck on your search and I hope you find the camera that is right for you.

There is so much to consider when looking for the best digital camera to suit your needs. It is important to decide what features matter the most to you. The main factors, apart from cost, in assessing which is a good digital camera for you are as follows:
Size and weight
Resolution
Level of Control
Options and features
The size and weight of a digital camera for one person varies greatly to that of another. If you want a camera that is lightweight and will slip into a pocket or purse then a ultra-lightweight cameras will probably be good for your needs. These are often the least complex of the cameras as they offer point and shoot simplicity and are a good camera for beginners. At the other end of the size and weight scale comes a bulky 1? pound SLR camera for the serious photographer who wants the best camera with all of the accessories to take the perfect shot.
The resolution you need can narrow down which is best camera for your requirements. The resolution affects the detail of an image for printing quality and the higher the resolution the greater the detail. The best for printing standard size pictures has a lower resolution than if you want to create oversize prints.
The camera for being able to edit and manipulate your images is one with a resolution of 5 or 6 mega pixels so that you can crop the images with photo editing software and still print them out full size.
The amount of control that you have available will also be an issue in finding the best camera. Some people think that the best digital camera is one they can use in an automatic mode and let the camera do the work. Others choose the best Digital Camera that allows them more input in the creative process by manually adjusting the focus, speed, aperture and other settings. A simple point and shoot camera is the best camera for people not wanting to make any setting changes but the range of manual controls available on other cameras varies with make and model. The latter will require more research to find the best digital camera to meet your requirements.
The next part in deciding which is the best digital camera to buy is to assess what, if any, additional features you would like. Here are some suggestions:
Audio annotation to add commentary to your images.
Burst shooting which allows you to take multiple pictures in rapid succession for fast moving action shots.
Macro photo capability that focuses on extreme close-up detail for images of flowers, insects, etc.
Movie mode with audio to take short videos.
Panoramic stitching function, often included in a camera’s software package, which joins individual images into a multi-photo panoramic picture.
Weatherproof casing
The most important aspect in choosing the best digital camera for you is ensuring that you are comfortable using it and have some fun taking pictures.
