I wasn't able to identify the Nikon or Sony models you've provided from our database. The Canon SX160IS is a great model and is currently on special at the main Crutchfield website. It offers a great combination of resolution (16 megapixels) & optical zoom (16x). Feel free to call for additional assistance: 800.315.0030--Crutchfield
Hi, this was helpful. Still I could use some advice to help me decide between this three cameras, the Nikon Coolpix L310, Canon Powershot sx160is and the Sony DSC-200B. They are all in the same price range, and I am not a professional photographer or anything, I just want to be able to take decent pictures in trips, parties, family reunions and stuff like that, nothing fancy or pro. What I like about the canon is the size. Thank you very much!
there are a few factors that go into image quality. Firstly you have the quality of the lens - if it cannot resolve detail no point in the sensor. second is the iso performane - the smaller the sensor and the more dense the pixels on it the worse in low light and resolving power. An dSLR has a bigger sensor and can take lenses much better on it so even with a kit lens will be better than any point and shoot in terms of resolution. A 10 year old dSLR will do a better job if you know how to use it
Without knowing the specifics of your point & shoot,a true comparison will be difficult. I will say that the quality SLR manufacturers do use better quality image sensors and much higher quality lenses. So, although the Nikon's megapixels may be lower than your point & shoot, You should find the quality of your images vastly improved.

I am switching from Digital point and shoot to SLR Cameras. I take pictures on party occasions, travels etc. My question is about Megapixels, , If I want to buy "Sony Cyber-shot 20.1 MP Digital Camera (DSCH200B" which is 20.1 MP where as the SLR Camera " Nikon D3100 14.2 MP DSLR Camera Bundle" has only 14.2 Megapixels. Even if the SLR Camera has lower Megapixel than the digital point and shoot, will SLR still give better picture resolution, please let me know. Thanks a lot in advance.
The second camera featured in the video was the Canon PowerShot G11 which was discontinued in the fall of 2010. The current version of this model is the Powershot G15 which can be found by typing our stock number (280G15) into the search window on the main Crutchfield website.

For your uses, you may want to switch to a camcorder and the Samsung QF20 comes to mind as an easy to upload video camcorder that has a high zoom. Feel free to call for additional assistance: 800.315.0030--Crutchfield
I'm looking to buy a new camera but don't know where to start. Most people use the cannon t3i but I'm a beginner and don't want to spend that kind of money on a camera. Its for youtube purposes to make hd hair and makeup tutorials and vlog when I'm out. I'd like something that has an lcd screen so that I can see myself while I shoot with the camera on a tripod. I like the high zoom camera shown in this video, what do you recommend? Thanks for your help :]
The Fujifilm FinePix S4000 was a great model when it was available. It has been discontinued and is no longer available from Crutchfield. It averaged 4.5 out of 5 stars in customer reviews on the Crutchfield website. For a personalized recommendation from our current inventory, you can contact us directly: 800.315.0030--Crutchfield
Each camera does have its advantages. If you plan on refining your skills with picture taking, then the Nikon D3100 would be better as you have more manual control over picture settings, can get lenses to help you achieve different effects. The Sony is an all-in-one with the permanently attached lens. It still has some manual control over picture settings. There are a lot more areas that can be covered between cameras.

Thanks for you quick reply! Pentax Q is featured on Groupon for $349 (free shipping) with an original retail price of $700. Keep you the informed and educational videos... Peacefully Stay, -Jeff
It is a good starter camera as Pentax does have an easy to use preset shooting modes give nice pictures. The camera also has a lot of manual adjustments you can make as you grow into it. As for the price, that is tough to say as we no longer carry it and I do not know what would be a good price now--Crutchfield
