Q. I've searched and most reviews say it's bad in the dark or makes ticking noises or maybe is too expensive. I'm looking for a good camera with HD video, good photos, far zoom ( x10 or higher ), and doesn't get grainy in the dark.
A. The Canon Vixia HV40 is a slightly refined version of the spectacular HV30. Great lens, very good ease of use and features, and great results. There really isn't much to say about these cameras that hasn't already been said. So your decision really isn't about the camera and its features - it's about whether to buy a tape-based camcorder.

What is the best digital camera for my needs?
Q. My father owns a Sony Cyber-shot (6.0MP), and I love the thing. Its pictures always come out beautifully, and both the zoom and the focus are perfect.
However, it is a very large digital camera and much too bulky for my lifestyle - I need something that I can slip into my purse, not a camera that requires its own purse. I know that as the size of the camera decreases, the zoom must also decrease to a point. Are there any slimmer, sleeker digital cameras on the market that will offer me close to the same features as the Cyber-shot?

A. This is a new breed of camera. The ultra compact, with the big zoom lens. Of course, you do compromise a bit on image quality to fit such zoom capability in such a small package- but, for most regular folks, the minute differences in image quality really don't matter, and it's more about capturing the moment. Certainly, a big zoom range can help.
So- take a look at these models. all of which have 10x zoom range.
