Equipment recommendation questions should be specific about budget and goals, yet general enough to be useful to as many readers as possible. Equipment recommendation answers should be worded to be as useful as possible to the broadest range of readers, and when possible account for future price drops (for bargain hunters looking for a cheap "older" camera) to improve the longevity of such topics.

What is a good set of features to look for in a camera for kids?
I used to have a Canon G3 that did all that stuff and took really nice photos. The "G" line has always been top-notch in quality, and you probably wouldn't want to get him a brand new one, but I'd be …

Usual dilemma - P&S or DSLR

How can I select a good monopod for under $100?
I believe you're looking for something like the TrekPod. I picked one of these up a year or so ago, and I love it. As others have been quick to point out, it's no substitute for a real tripod, but i …

Which camera has low shutter latency and good color accuracy?
This is really sort of an interesting question. There are certainly some reasonable "wants" in here -- fast reaction, low noise, and so on. Any of the cameras you indicated (as well as the ones poin …

How do I choose a bridge camera?
I've got a Panasonic FZ28, and I learned a ton from that camera. The feature list Rob put together is about right, though both the FZ38 and the P100 lack a hot shoe. Using that camera, I was able to …

Help me with information to take a lens purchase decision
I prefer to look at lens purchases as a journey rather than a point decision, and unlike some journeys, you can choose your path one step at a time.
If you're starting with the 18-55 lens, there are …

Are there disadvantages to a prosumer camera for a beginner, aside from cost?
Other than all the normal caveats that apply to picking a platform (you'll probably end up spending more on lenses and accessories than you will on a camera body, so choose a body with that in mind), …

How to choose a lens for my first DSLR?
I don't know if this factors into your decision at all, but one of the things I've been pretty surprised about is how well used equipment (especially lenses) tends to hold its value. It's very possib …

Getting ready to buy an entry-level Canon dSLR — should I skip the kit lens?
Another option (I know, like you need another option) -- the secondhand market for Canon lenses is really very strong. There's a decent chance that you could unload one of those lenses for as much mo …

How do I decide between the Canon 55-250mm or 70-300mm + 50mm?

Are there any options for a very cheap, small, and reasonably fast camera?
