Which camera has the shortest delay?
Which digital camera has the shortest delay between when you push the button and the picture takes?
That delay is called "Shutter Lag Time". It is common complaint about compact cameras. It has improved a lot over the past years but for best results a Digital SLR is the fastest.
"Cycle Time" is the amount of time it takes for the cameras to processes, save and clear the buffer to capture the next picture. That is dependent on the settings of the camera and the processor speed.
Again...Digital-SLR cameras are the faster followed by Advanced Compact and slowest is Compact Cameras.

Looking for decent video camera under $300, any suggestions?
I have a few features in mind. I'm looking for a camera to record family events, such as my teenage son's band performances on the football field & in the stadium and inside for concerts and parades. Also, for our one year old's 1st birthday party and as she grows. I'm looking for something with a high optical zoom and a hard drive or flash memory. I don't want to deal with the mini-dvds. I want something that is easy to use and something that records well enough to transfer to DVD so we can send them to family out of state who will be watching on a 50"in TV. Any suggestions??
There is several camcorders that will work well for you. Some good ones to look at are:
The JVC Everio.
Panasonic SDR-S26K
Sony Handycam and other models
Sony and Panasonic would probably be the most durable and JVC the easiest to use.

why do i need manual mode
Cameras can take "Good" pictures in auto mode. OK exposure...OK focus and some unwanted motion blur. Just capturing the moment. Plus...auto takes longer to shoot...sometimes that moment is missed.
The difference between a "Snapshot" and a "Photograph" is having control not having decisions made for you.
By increasing the ISO you can reduce motion blur. By increasing the shutter speed and increasing more light through the aperture you can create shallow depth of field and get that soft focus behind your subject...this make your subject really stand out.
ALL cameras have a Auto mode be it a inexpensive compact or a professional Digital-SLR...but if manual is not there the options are taken away from you.

What is the difference between the Canon Rebel 10.1 or the 12.2 mp?
I am trying to decide which Canon Rebel I want to purchase. I am looking at the Canon Rebel 10.1 or the Canon Rebel 12.2? What is the difference between the 2? is there a noticable difference in the quality of picture? what should I look for in a DSLR camera?
The XSi has more than just 12.2 megapixels over the XS. It has a 3" LCD screen ..the XS is only 2.5", 11 auto focus points...XS is at 9, 14bt processing vs the 12 bit on the XS, spot metering mode where the XS has only partial.
There is still more. The XSi has many features that you'll probably want as your shooting needs grow. Will you notice a difference in image quality at this point...not really. Would you notice it later...yes..and probably wish you had gone with the XSi.
Things to look for in a Digital-SLR:
Fast burst mode..or..FPS(Frames Per Second) this is NOT movie mode. Look for a FPS of 5 and above for sports and action shots.
The higher the number of focus points the better.
More metering modes the better.

Does the camera include a charger?
I'm interested in the Casio - EXILIM 10.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black and want to know if the battery charger is included?
If a rechargeable battery is listed as included than either a battery charger is included or the battery recharges when the camera is plugged into the AC adapter.

photo memory card does not fit into slot on my laptop
I have a Sony memory stick pro duo and it does not fit into the SD slot on my new laptop(Toshiba laptop). The memory card is too small. Is there an adaptor that I can buy so that I can download pics to my computer? I also bought a new wireless printer-EPSON-Workforce 610-it also has a slot for my picture memory stick-same problem. The memory stick does not fit. Can anyone help me?
Sony memory does not fit into SD slots. Even thow they look similar they are not.
You can get a multi card reader for your computer, I use the Dynex on my Toshiba and works great.
As for the printer..it is Sony compatible but the Pro Duo requires a adapter.

Can I use my Quantaray len's with a new canon digital camera body?
Quantaray lenses are rumored to be made by Sigma and the primary distributor being Ritz Cameras.
These lenses are very low priced and might not give you very good optics. If the lens you are looking at is made for your camera body there is no reason why you couldn't use it...but you might not be happy with the results.
Sigma lenses are very good lenses. Who manufactures Quantary is still unclear.

What memory card do I buy for my Canon PowerShotS30?
I need a memory card for my Canon PowerShotS30. I've bought two of them so far and the camera's message is CF error.
CF (Compact Flash) Type I or Type II can be used.
This is a older 3mp camera. You might be limited to only 128mb and 256mb cards.

Which is more important for taking clear close up shots? Higher megapixels or higher optical zoom?
In theory and in practicality optical zoom is better. A higher megapixel would allow you to crop into your subject but a higher optical zoom will let you keep as much pixel information as possible by zooming in on your subject.
For example..if you filled the whole screen at 10x optical zoom at 8mp you would have more megapixel information than a 3x zoomed image at 12mp because you would crop out almost 8mp of information to get the same size image leaving you with around a 4mp picture.

I just bought a Nikon Coolpix P100. Which bag would I use? Most of them say the coolpix s series.
You don't have to use any particular brand or type of bag. Which ever bag fits your camera and fits the needs you have ...that's the bag for you.
