Which camera should I get? (Polaroid – 3.0-Megapixel vs. Sharper Image – 1.3-Megapixel)?

I will start by saying that I am aware that these are both very cheap digital cameras. That being said, I am looking to get one of these for a freind on black friday for xmas. She is not a potographer or anything of that sort, I just think it would be a nice present for just about anyone to have. The polariod looks promising, but does not come with memory as far as I can tell and costs more than the sharper Image one. The Sharper Image looks interesting and has 8 mb of memory; however It has less mega pixels and I cant seem to find any reviews of it anywhere on the web for the life of me. Anyone have any experance with either of these cameras or could recomend one and why? Thank you in advance.
I do not have the choice to purchase off the internet. I am limited to buying from stores such as Bestbuy, Radioshack, Walgreens, ect.

Pick a camera with at least a 3x optical zoom, uses SDHC memory cards and has at least a 7 mp sensor. Anything else is really just a toy

Neither the Polaroid, nor Sharper Image companies are known for making good cameras

If you can find a camera within your budget on this website, go with it. Basically stay away from any camera brand that is not listed on this website.

I need a good quality, cheap digital video camera for recording live band performances & uploading to youtube?

My bf plays for a band and I record with my kodak zd15. The sound sucks really bad. I need a nice camera that video records and has good audio for live band performance. I looked into the Mino HD 8GB Flip, I really liked the upload your own photo thing but it has a lot of downs.
Is the cannon sd1000 a better choice?
I need help.

Consumer-grade camcorders don’t record audio very well especially music. Most have omni-directional microphones that tend to pick up all sound around the cam, like sound bouncing off walls, etc. And some are not even stereo mics. If your Kodak ZD15 is okay with the video imagery, then use a separate audio recorder which is the best way to record for music video projects. You did not state your budget but something like a Zoom H1 digital recorder ($99.00) and used with a quality microphone is the cheapest option. But better yet, something like the Zoom H4n or Tascam DR100 (both around $290.00). They can use two mics (and the two on-board mics) and the ability to balance up to 4 channels. The important part is the microphone and for a way to adjust the gain, as music will peak and fall throughout the performance, and each instrument has its own unique sound waves. Using ear-muff style headphones will allow you to listen more accurately what the mic(s) is picking up. You may be able to rent a recorder and try it out to see if it will work for you. Check with your local music instrument stores. If you still are leaning towards another camcorder, just make sure it has an external microphone port and headphone port.

Canon 570 IS vs. SD1000?

Hello, I am looking to buy an new camera for my trip to Ireland next month. I think I have it narrowed down to these two. I really like the features of the 570 IS and the fact that it takes AAs since charging something will be an issue. It is also cheaper. I really like the look and form factor of the SD1000. I was wondering what people’s opinion were on the two camera and which would be better for Ireland. Thanks!

The A570 IS is a better choice, even though it’s not as small and cool looking as the SD1000. Here’s why the A570 IS is better:

1) Uses easy to find AA batteries or AA rechargeables.
2) 4x zoom instead of the 3x zoom of the SD1000
3) Has image stabilization–a big feature to help you get sharper shots. The SD1000 does not have optical image stabilization.
4) More exposure options/controls with the A570 IS (i.e. you can shoot manual exposure if you need to).

In short, the only reason the buy the SD1000 is for the look/form factor. For taking photos, the A570 IS is a better option.
