Choosing Cameras based on Image Quality & Performance

by Chan Teng Heng

I have always been confused by the amount of information whenever I wanted to choose a camera. There were so many features, costs, etc. to consider. For once, I decided once and for all to follow two simple parameters: image quality, and performance (speed). Why? I bought one DSLR once, and at a birthday party, I was really embarrassed when I could not shoot photos fast enough...either the light was not right, or the camera was too slow. Hence, I changed and changed cameras, until I came to a right decision (..I hope at last)..

Here is the list of image quality and performance (thank goodness...dpreview.com had the ratings ..) I compiled. I hope this helps you just as it helped me....
There were some surprises....the Canon 40D and 450D for example; the e3; the Sony alpha 900...of course, many of the ratings are based on certain lenses, and the market level of camera quality at the time..
