I am looking for a digital camera that will be used for a lot of at night or low-light shots as well as very close-up shots. Additionally, I would like a camera that is in the compact or ultra-compact category if possible. What are some suggestions for specific cameras, or, in general what features should I be looking for on cameras' spec sheets that would tell me that the camera was good with low-light or up-close shots?If the low light shots are of building or such, you can put any camera on a tripod. If you need to do them hand held (street photography/ concerts/ sports/ etc.), you're out of luck. This is the domain of digital SLR cameras. The digital Nikons are good at this, and the Canons are even better. They can go up to ISO 6400 in a pinch, and they'll deliver beutifull image quality as high as ISO 1600. This is better than film ever was. If you add a light sensitive lens, like a 50mm f/1.4, you can do action photography by candle light. No compact'''The Compact is a social and environment movement where members promise not to buy anything new for a year. It was started in San Francisco. The movement began as a challenge among 10 friends in 2006.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Compact camera comes anywhere close to that. (The autofocus will hunt forever, and when it does lock on, you'll need a shutter time of several seconds.) If it must be a compact, get one where you can crank the ISO up to 1600 (or higher).For extreme close ups, get a macro lens (or a compactCompact was a British television soap opera shown by the BBC between 1962 and 1965. The series was created by Hazel Adair and Peter Ling, who together went on to devise Crossroads.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_(TV_series) that has a macro function.)

What is the best camera for an amateur who can't spend too much money?
I ordred a proffesional camera from E-Bay, and when it came in, it did not even work I guess that's E-Bay for you. We are in the process of returning it. In the meantime my husband was able to get me a camera at a low cost from where he works, but it is only a small digital camera. The pictures I have taken with it are still not as good as I would have hoped, regardless of how the subject is posed and the angle I am shooting at. I understand about trying to photograph in the early morning...
