Can anyone give advice to help select a new digital camera to buy?
I have a Kodak DX7630 EasyShare and were very pleased with the results. I'm looking to get a better digital camera that I can "play" with more. I take pictures of my family. I'm thinking of buying a SLR camera, the Canon Rebel XTi possibly or simply going to move more Kodak EasyShare Z812. Any suggestions or comments?
As fhotoace words, the sensor size is very important in image quality. Believe it or not, your current camera (DX7630) a sensor cameras are point and shoot, and the Z812 has a small sensor. It might actually be a step backwards in quality image "enhancement" of this super-zoom camera. As long as you have on the table, I would say that the update you are sensitive to the Rebel XTi Canon. Yes, there is much to learn, but you can begin to "AUTO" and go to the "P" and go from there.
Canon Digital Camera (SLR): Rebel XTi
Digital Camera SLR Advice Needed?
I am shopping for a digital SLR. I am planning on getting the Canon Rebel Xti with 10.1 mp. I would also like a good lens- one that takes excellent portraits. Where the picture is so sharp you can see each eyelash kind of thing. I'd also like a telephoto lens that can get extremely sharp focus on something like a flower that you are standing right next to, or a baby's tiny little toes. Hoping for one lens that can do both the portraits and the toes. I don't have much to spend- about $1500 total including the camera that comes with the basic lens for about $800. Can someone recommend the lens that would cost about $600 that would be extremely sharp even in indoors lighting situations. I think I would like the Lseries from Canon.
For your budget, I'd suggest that you look at the the Canon 17-85 lens. One of our devoted Canon users recommended the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM (28-135 equiv.) (April 2007-$515) as a good "walk around" lens at a good price.

Actually, I see this lens as part of a kit at B&H Photo (available through Yahoo! Shopping) for $1,180 right now, so you'd save a couple of bucks. If you just buy the body ($685), you have about $800 left for a lens and memory card, so maybe you can find an "L" lens for that kind of money. I'm not a Canon guy, but hopefully someone else will pick up on this question and give you some more guidance.
If you go to the review site mentioned above, you can find some sample images, including several portraits. Click on them to enlarge the image. It's too bad you can't view the file full-size, but you can get the idea about lens resolution. I see that the pictures were taken with a Canon 20D, which is an 8MP camera compared to the XTi's 10 MP, so I would expect the resolution to be at least as good.
You can spend a day prowling around these Canon lens review sites to see if you find something else within your budget.
