Canon Digital Camera Powershot

I have a canon digital camera with a 4x optical zoom. what kind of lens do i look for to upgrade to higher zoom? I am pretty camera dumb but am getting into pics so want a camera that wont get blurry upon getting far a way pics.
I found telephoto lenses that are 3x does that mean that my new zoom would be 7x since I already have a 4x or does it replace what the camera already has? This is where I am getting confused.

Most cheaper non-DSLR cameras will not allow you to upgrade: the most you could hope to do is get an adapter piece and a telephoto mount for it.

This only works if you actually spent good money on that camera, though since most don't afford it. Plus, telephotos are not worth the money if the zoom is that low, so you should just get a new camera in my opinion.

Edit: A telephoto will compound with your camera's optical zoom, so 4x3 = 12x zoom.

I should warn that most telephotos tend to make it more difficult to hold your camera in a balanced way and usually require their own stands if you want a clean shot.

Creating gorgeous images is more fun than ever with the sleek, impressively equipped Canon Powershot SX200 IS Digital Camera, elegantly designed ...

Canon Digital Camera PowerShot A70 can show menus without any problem but cant shoot any video or pictures. The LCD it self can not show pictures on it, please help.

I agree that this sounds like a problem with the CCD. This problem was acknowledged by Canon a couple of years ago. The other answer discussing this provided a link to Canon Europe. In case you are in the US, I will provide a link to the US site for getting your camera repaired.

The A70 is an excellent camera for its specs and has better image quality than my father's 6-month-old Kodak. Fortunately I have not had any problems with my A70.

I have a Canon Powershot SD750 (Digital ELPH). I can download my pictures from my camera to my computer, but how do I download my pictures from my computer back to my camera?

Thanks.

Does this particular Canon model have internal memory?

Or are you asking if you can download pictures from your computer back onto your camera's SD card?

I believe if you click on your folder, that has the pictures you want to download back to SD card, then next choose 'copy folder' and you specify which drive (maybe F:) your SD card is inserted into that you want that folder's files copied into. Or click and drag, your contents into where you want it copied to.

Hope not too confusing.

I want to get a canon powershot digital camera, but there is more than one version, and I don't know which is best. I need a widescreen, so I can get everything in the picture, without half of something being cut out of the shot. like only half of someone's head makes it into the picture, ect. I want to avoid that from now on. I heard powershots had widescreens, now I just need to know which one to get. Thanks.

I wouldn't say it's the best version of the powershot series of cameras, but the S80 and SD800 are the *only* powershot cameras that goes down to 28mm focal length (using 35mm equivalent terms), which is considered a wide-angle focal length. (btw...it's called a "wide-angle" lens, not a wide-screen lens :) )

The SD800 got dinged in its reviews, due to image softness though. You might seriously want to consider some alternatives. The Panasonic line of compact cameras have generally had outstanding reviews.

You have several options:

-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2
-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01
-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1

-- Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
-- Canon PowerShot S80

-- Olympus FE-200

-- Ricoh Caplio R5

Panasonic will soon be releasing these:
-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ2 & DMC-TZ3
-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30

Slightly older, you have these
-- Olympus C-7070 Wide Zoom
-- Samsung Digimax A55W
-- Fujifilm FinePix E510 Zoom


As far as other Powershot models, the G7 is supposed to be its "flagship model" with a 35mm-210 6x zoom lens, but doesn't go down to 28mm. the A640 is generally considered to be almost as feature-rich as the G7, but has a standard 35mm-to-105mm 3x zoom lens. The G7's interface is more slr-like than the A640 (and will give you the control to shoot yourself in the foot if you don't know what you're doing), has a very useful hotshoe for flash, and offers some nice control features, but drops some of the consumer gadgetry, like the flip-out vari-angle display. The A710 has the G7's zoom lens, but it's stuck on a smaller sensor, so its image quality isn't as good, and the batteries (2 aa batteries) mean that flash recycle time suffers. The S80 is an interesting form factor, which shares the G7's control dial, but has a smaller sensor.

Hi,
How do we set the date and time stamp on canon powershot S2 IS digital camera(on still images)?
I am unable to set date and time stamp on images.
I would appreciate if someone can guide me

Thanks
gakana

Canon doesn't allow you to insert date and time stamp on the picture from their latest cameras, I think it's because it looks horrible on the picture. If you want date/time stamp, use adobe photoshop. When you download photos to your computer, click right mouse button on the file and select properties. You will find the Date and Time the picture was taken.
