I know everyone has a preference and it also depends on how one uses a camera but just technologically speaking, what is the top, most used digital camera right now by professional wedding photographers and possibly why?
Curious

When I look at digital cameras online, how do I know if the camera can zoom in while its taking a video?
Is it “Optical Zoom”?
The camera that I have right now can not zoom while I am taking a video, even though it can zoom in on pictures.
Also, none of the cameras I’m looking at seem to have the dimensions or quality of their video. How do I know if the video quality will be good?

Must be 5 – 7 megapixals, light and easy to carry, will record any voices or noises during short video shots up to 60 seconds.

Going to Hershey Park in a few days and am wondering if taking my digital camera would be risky. Where do people usually keep their camera’s when going on rides? Also, should I try the water rides first and then the dry rides or vice versa? Should I keep my clothing in a locker or in the car? Just looking for advice from people who have been to Hershey Park. Thanks.

It has to have no flash, low lighting, and no self-timer. I just want to take lots of mediocre photos.

I need a digital camera but I don’t know exactly what to look for. I guess the camera is mainly going to be used for outside use to take pictures of friends and family and other such events. I’m not going to be photographing action shots on an NFL sideline. Also, if I can be advised on what to look for, that would be very helpful. Thanks to everybody that helps me out with this.

I am looking for a camera that takes professional looking pictures. I have seen pictures taken from the Cannon Rebel and I really like the way they look, is there another good digital similar to that one? I am wanting to buy a new camera and am going to school for photography. I just would like to know my options. I’m looking for something no higher than 800.00 maybe, or somewhere close to that.

Any ideas? I have a sony a380, I want to take a pic of an oncoming train and i want the background blurred, whats the best aperture, shutter and iso settings?
