Which camera is better?
I found two cameras that I like but not sure which one I should get. It’s a tie between the Nikon – Coolpix 12.1-Megapixel Digital Camera or the Olympus SP-590UZ Digital Camera. Which one is better? I’m stump on which one to get. I have a Nikon Coolpix now and I really love it. But I heard Olympus was the best one out there, plus its light weight. Please help.
I have owned 2 Olympus cameras and used two other ones.
Each time I was disappointed in the low light performance (way too much noise), so I’m done with Olympus.
Nikon Coolpix cameras are fine, as long as you don’t mind all the usual limitations that ALL those little P&S cameras have.
The very best thing you can do is to learn about your camera.
Read your manual !!!! Read it several times, and practice in between.
Attend a class, read some books, read/watch online tutorials.
The major camera manufacturers (like Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc) all have very useful sections on their website for learning about photography.
Understanding at least the basic principles of photography (as well as being familiar with your camera) will enable you to make the most of your gear, and will make a HUGE difference to your images.
