which one is better as picture quality, sony or canon?

Tough call, but Canon has been making cameras and lenses a lot longer than Sony. So they know what cameras need and how it should work. However, Sony makes the sensors that make digital cameras work. Sony uses all proprietary peripherals in their equipment, that means everything that you use must be Sony to make everything work right. \nCanon makes better pictures, I have seen less aberration and vignette on their lenses.

I really like my Sony VAIO. It is kinda pricey (around $1500) but very good quality.

I used HP InkJets for years, until they started making them cheap with poor quality.   So I've switch to Canon.    Here's why.\n\n1.  Color is awesome.  I know professional photographers that swear by the color. \n2.  The ink is cheapter.  Get a model with the three separate colors.  You won't waste ink when just one color runs out. \n3.  Canon inkjet printer pauses for you to change an empty cartridge, then resumes printing.\n4. The Canon printers that I have seen, seem very reliable.   The paper feeds well, and keeps on working.  With the Canon that I am actually using, I've never had a paper jam, like my old HP would sometimes have. \n\nIt isn't the cost of the printer that kills you, it's the ink.   \n\nGo to STAPLES and look for the  Canon PIXMA iP4300\n\nHere is what it looks like at NewEgg\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16828102038\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Well since no one else seems to have answered your question, I'll try my best. Digital cameras take really good quality photos, and it makes editing your photos handy because you can upload your photos to a PC and touch them up with software like Adobe Photoshop.

Well if you're looking for good high-resolution pictures, go to stock photo sites that are free; such as www.sxc.hu (you do have to sign up though, but it's free)

Considering your needs I recommend the "Canon ip Pixma 3000" It has very high photo quality print and can even print directly on the CDs.

Picasa is probably going to do what you want. Short of that, Photoshop Elements is excellent, too.

Unfortunately, I can't find a chart for Canon, but since mid November Toshiba stock (as quoted on the NYSE) has increased 40%.

if you want to print quality photographs buy an Epsom. They have separate ink cartridges fr each tone and there are excellent value. Expect to pay around £80-£100 for a descent one.  Check out comet on line for offers, tesco are also pretty good for printer prices especially the inks. I used an Epsom Stylus DX4800 for my university portfolio presentation to industry professionals for my finals and the prints where of a very high standard.\n\nif however you want to print a lot of word documents as well then go for a HP printer. There not as good on photo quality but it's a much faster text printer.

It depends how much light you have.  Faster speeds (lower numbers) are always higher quality... but not if you don't have the light to allow for reasonable exposure times.\n\nI use Ektachrome-100 or Velvia-64 when not shooting digital, but that's with either a single 260 watt/second flash gun, or dual 120 watt/seconf flash heads.   \n\nIf you're using a camera's small built-in flash, use the fastest film you can find!  I'd recommend Kodak Ektachrome 400 (for slides) or Fuji NPZ-800 (for prints)

you can never increase image quality\n\nits always a good idea to save an original

Sony is the best DVD Writer. It is the best when it comes to performance, reliability, ruggedness and compatibility with a variety of recording. Also, its spinning motor makes the least noise compared to other brands. It costs only a fraction more than other DVD Writers, so its worth it.\n\nI am sayin its the best because of reviews I have seen about it in reputed magazines and also because I own one, and becase my friends own Writers of other brands and are not satisfied with them.

Usually you will be happier with JPEG than BMP.\nDoes depend on what you intend to do with it.\n///

ok firstly i have done a lot of this kind of stuff so as far as cameras go. My recomendation would be either sony or connon. sony usualy are not quite as expensive and have a few more cool electronic features. Cannon however have better lenses and the more expensive ones have three CCDS, i beleive sony has this now too. What camera u need is very much dependant on what you want to do with it, but if you only an amature looking to have a bit of fun i would recomend the sony, especialy if you are on a budget.\n\nNow as for the programs to edit with. well adobe premier is very good but also quite hard to learn. Pinncle Studio is very good and is pretty easry to get to know. it has good tutorials with it. for DVD authoring Ulead DVD studio is one of the best i have used. So just get one the u like the look of and ge familiar with it, in the end they almst all do the same thing, they just do it in different ways\nhope this helped

It's actually cheaper if you don't buy a digital camera at all.  Instead go to Best Buy and buy a webcam.  Webcams also can take still photos that are stored directly to your computer (even quicker than using a digital cam)  The resolution on the webcam should be good enough for ebay and even a very good webcam is still less expensive than your average low quality inexpensive digital camera (around 75 dollars for a quality webcam).  \n\nLook for webcams that advertize higher resolution for a sharper still photo.  \n\nBest of luck and good question!
