I've recently discovered, I really like photography.
I've been using my cellphone for pictures though.
I'd really like a GOOD camera, one that will work for indoor and outdoor, and a cheap one too.
If you know any good camera's that will work, please tell me. :]
And if you can, get a link to the camera.
P.s. This is some of my photography.

All Answers To QuestionsAnswer 1
All cameras are designed to take photos indoors and out.
P&S do not require the user to be in control of the exposures of your images.
DSLR's are fully adjustable cameras and allow the most flexibility and use interchangeable lenses from fisheye to extreme telephoto lenses.
DSLR's have sensors that are over 15 times larger than P&S cameras so the quality will be much better, especially at high ISO's needed for blur free shots using available light.

Good for you, It's a great hobby and been mine for over 50yrs.
My camera is a Fujifilm digital S3000, I chose it after a lot of thought.
I bought it from Argos about 4yrs. ago, It is 6x optical zoom, manual and Auto. A great advantage Is the Batteries, It uses 4 AA type Rechargeable, you can buy them almost anywhere, and also charge them In the car, also It has an eye view finder much better In bright sunlight. Usual built in Flash, I have also used it with a slave flash with good results. All the best in your well chosen hobby. Answer 3
Any camera would probably work well for indoor and outdoor use if it has the capability to use flash.
I recommend to anyone seriously contemplating the purchase of a new digital SLR camera to consider these two primary questions:
1. How much money do you have to spend???? $500.? $800.? $1,500.?
2. What level of photography do you aspire to "progress to" in the coming years ? (i.e. basic beginner, intermediate, or professional/business use).
For most beginners to intermediates I usually suggest one of these two manufacturers: Canon vs Nikon
1. Canon EOS Rebel model XSi. (Also known as the Canon 450D in Britain)
The "kit" package comes with an 18-55mm zoom lens. The camera has pop-up flash, 12.2 Megapixels, and shutter speeds up to 1/4000th, 100-1,600 ISO sensitivity, 7 auto exposure Scene modes, PLUS Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Programmed Exposure Modes and Manual. It also has a 3 inch LCD screen, 3.5 frames continuous per second max., 9 point AF system, Live View Functioning and the ability to record photos in 3, 6 or 12 Megapixels PLUS numerous other great features found only on more expensive cameras. Wal-Mart is also selling them now for about $799. Sam's Club also has them for $729.
I also think that Amazon dot com has them for around $650.
I bought one of these 6 months ago and use it as my "back up" camera. I absolutely love it. I have gotten some fantastic photos with it and cannot praise it enough. I routinely enlarge my photos to make 8x10's and 11x14 size enlargements with no noticeable distortion or loss of detail in the pictures.
2. Nikon D-90: If you prefer to use Nikon equipment I strongly recommend the Nikon D-90 which has 12.3 Megapixels, 3 inch monitor with Live View, 200-3,200 ISO sensitivity, 11 point AF system with Face Priority, 4.5 frames per second in continuous mode, 5 advanced Scene modes for auto exposure plus Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Programmed Auto plus Manual. The D-90 sells for around $900-950. (Body ONLY. The 18-55mm lens cost an additional $150.-175.) Typically, Nikon equipment is slightly more expensive than Canon equipment, but (having owned both Nikon and Canon cameras), I have seldom noticed BETTER quality results using Nikon equipment.
You might also consider the Nikon D-40 ($499) kit that comes with the 18-55mm lens.
Another great choice is the Nikon D-60 kit ($649) which also comes with the 18-55mm lens.
These selections are probably the best choices for any beginner to intermediate skill level, offering the most lenses and other accessories, dealers and places to purchase.
I strongly recommend that ALL beginners buy a good book on digital photography AND take a class or two from a Vocational school or Community Education Center in your area.
