If youre an intermediate level digital photographer, you might be looking for a good advanced digital camera. I know its very tough to decide on which one to buy given that these models usually cost a bomb.

Ive compiled a list of the top 10 advanced digital cameras that are selling like hotcakes in the market right now.

If youre an intermediate level digital photographer, you might be looking for a good advanced digital camera. I know its very tough to decide on which one to buy given that these models usually cost a bomb. A good advanced digital camera should be pretty rugged and also give you as much control over the photography process as possible. Ive compiled a list of the top 10 advanced digital cameras that are selling like hotcakes in the market right now.

Canon EOS 20D
The Canon EOS-20D is one of the best digital cameras for the advanced user. With an 8.2 megapixel resolution and a bewildering range of manual modes, this digital SLR will deliver professional looking photos.

Canon PowerShot G6
The Canon PowerShot G6 has a 7.1 megapixel resolution, a 4x optical zoom, as well as a wide range of scene modes and manual controls. Even though it lacks a digital SLR body, the images shot with this camera are nothing short of outstanding. Its also one of the cheapest advanced digital cameras out there.

Olympus C-7000
The Olympus C-7000 zoom offers a 7.1 megapixel resolution and 5x optical zoom. It also boasts 5 scene modes and full manual options. A very attractive buy, although the optional lenses are not allowed.

Nikon D70
The Nikon D70 is one of the best-selling entry level digital SLRs. It has a solid design, a bewildering range of options, powerful speed, as well as great photo quality. With its cheap price, this 6.1 megapixel SLR is one of the best value cameras for serious photographers looking to upgrade their camera.

Canon Digital Rebel
The 6.3 megapixel Canon Digital Rebel is a direct competitor to the Nikon D70. It targets photographers at the lower end of the advanced digital SLR market. Its low price, excellent image quality and speed give the Nikon D70 a run for its money.

Sony Cybershot Pro DSC-V3
The Sony Cybershot Pro DSC-V3 is a decent advanced camera which is light and easy to use. With its 7.2 megapixel resolution and 4x optical zoom, its a great buy. Do note the colors can be a bit poor in some shots.

Canon EOS-1D Mark II
The Canon EOS-1D Mark II is a new digital SLR aimed at professional photographers who want excellent customization options, great photo quality and impressive speed. This 8 megapixel camera is high on my list of recommendations.

Olympus C-8080
With its 8 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom, the Olympus C-8080 represents great value for those hunting for a digital SLR. While it doesnt sell as well as the Canon and Nikon SLRs, I think Olympus comes up with pretty decent advanced cameras too.

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2
The Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 is a hot favorite amongst professionals. From a feature and function point of view, its one of the best digital SLRs Ive seen. However, the build quality lacks that nice and heavy SLR feel.

Sony DSC-F828
Featuring a whopping 8 megapixel image resolution, the Sony DSC-F828 comes replete with a powerful 7X zoom lens and great camera optics. Very nice camera indeed.

Conclusion
There are lot of cameras suitable for the advanced digital photographer, but the list above covers some of my favorites. I particularly like the Nikon D70 and Minolta DiIMAGE A2. One shopping tip to remember is that the camera above tend to be more expensive than the average point-and-shoot model. So do consider carefully whether you need to features before buying the camera. If you're just starting out in digital photography, you may want to try a simpler and cheaper model first.

Customer Review: Not really a 2 GB Card

So, I'm *hoping* they've fixed this, but the last two I've ordered of these both only allowed 600 MB or less to be written on them. I ordered the first, returned it and got a second and it allowed even less data to be written to it. I returned that one as well and asked for a refund.

Customer Review: excellent

This works perfectly. i bought 3 of them for my mp3 player and have no problems. This works better than the Sandisk memory card i have. Would highly recommend.

Customer Review: Great with Kodak EasyShare SV-710 7-Inch Digital Picture Frame

I bought this, as Amazon suggests, to use in conjunction with the Kodak EasyShare SV-710. It worked perfectly! I plugged it into the frame and copied photos to it with ease - no problems at all! I will definitely buy this card again with future digital frame purchases!

Customer Review: Solid Product Worth the Purchase

I purchased a sandisk 64MB disk for my point and shoot camera, which I still have to this day and since it is still working well I decided to go with sandisk for the upgrade. I needed the disk for dSLR I purchased recently and considered the high capacity SD cards as they are suppose to give you a quicker response time.



I have shot a few hundred shots and there hasn't been a significant lag with this card ( I tested it against my sisters SDHC card). I haven't had a read problem with the card (I have used it with my internal card reader on my notebook, a stand alone third party reader, with the camera attached to a desktop, etc). With the price drop I probably will pick up a couple more....

Customer Review: Inexpensive and Works Perfect!

I was sketchy at first about buying an off-brand card, but after looking at the reviews, saw that every brand had at least a few people with bad experiences, so decided to try the Transcend card.



I shot an entire 16 day vacation on just this card with a 10 megapixel camera on fine jpeg with room to spare!

Absolutely no problems so far and would gladly buy another or recommend it to a friend.

Customer Review: works well, well priced

I purchased this card to record a wedding video on my panasonic hd camcorder. I can't tell the difference between this card and the panasonic sdhc card that I purchased. Except for the lower price.

A Security System Can Set You Free It’s that time of year again, and the snow is beginning to fly. Dreams of pristine and untouched vertical powder runs begin to fill my mind. The change in seasons always stimulates me. To kill the seemingly endless time between the 1st snow and opening day, I have no choice but give in to an overwhelming urge to start planning an annual ski pilgrimage to some remote and magnificent location. Like an avalanche, my urges are somewhat unpredictable and o
