Best Digital Point And Shoot Camera For Beginners

This camera is good for beginners and professionals who want a point and shoot. It's small and compact but takes beautiful pictures.

An excellent digital camera for beginners at a very competitive price.

the perfect camera between a point n' shoot and a full blown digital SLR.

This camera is easy to use, gives a great digital picture every time. I want a point and shoot delivery and this is it.

Bought this to carry a small point and shoot digital camera on a backpack chest strap while hiking. Very satisfied with the flap covered padded camera compartment, and zippered section for extra batteries and SD cards. Much better design than the Lowepro case it replaced. Just what I needed.

I bought this camera to make the leap from a digital point and shoot to a digital SLR. I last used an old film SLR 10 yrs ago, so it'll be nice to see what I remember and learn even more about photography. I'm very happy the camera accepts AA lithium batteries and there is a lengthy printed operating manual too. Additionally, there are more than enough manual settings for my needs. Lastly, the price is right and was lowest on B&H! I haven't found any cons yet.

This camera is an awesome camera for people looking for more out of a digital camera than just the regular point and shoot but do not want to spend the money or carry around the lenses of an SLR. The 20X optical zoom is FANTASTIC! The offerings of this camera are numerous. The manual settings are simple to use and the numerous other settings such as colour accent are very fun to use. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking to get more into photography while keeping money in their pockets.

This camera is my first foray into the DSLR world, after owning several point and shoot digital cameras. I must say, so far it has been a blast. It's easy to use and the quality of the pictures is fantastic. Several shots I've taken of surrounding flora look almost fake because of the clarity of the pictures. I haven't delved into the more complicated features just yet, but I'll get there soon. One of the main reasons I chose this camera is for the touch screen display, which I love. I think anyone with a smart phone will love it, too. I'd definitely recommend the SL-1.

I love this camera! Its my first digital interchangable lens camera that I have owned. I bought it because I wanted to upgrade from my point and shoot, and didnt want to have a huge camera like a nikon or canon. This one fits the bill. I love it. I wouldn't reccomend it if you're going into business or something, but if you're a family guy who is looking for a serious upgrade from point and shoot, then this one just might fit the bill.

I use this compact tripod for my digital point and shoot cameras and my smaller pinhole cameras. The ball head keeps camera steady and I like how it can lay flat against the camera body for storage. The feet offer good grip.
