<p>Thanks so much! Great advice!</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>I mainly want it for family use. To capture my son's special moments as well as family vacations and stuff like that. My budget right now is around 300$. I'm very much of a beginner so I also need it to be easy to use while I learn.</p>

<p>Hi! I'm looking for a good digital camcorder. Anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.</p>

<p>Wow! Thanks everyone! It's wonderful to get answers to your questions. Great advice! I have a nikon D3000 and saw the RAW setting. Plus, i've had other people ask me on different sites about RAW and i really didn't know what the difference was. Thanks again. I do want to learn how to shoot RAW images. Maybe not 100's of them but some. Time to practice!</p>

<p> What is the difference between shooting in JPEG or RAW?</p>

<p>I do have to say that learning about photography is very important. The more photos you take the more you will learn. I like to take several of the same shot on different settings and make a note of each one. I don't think you have to be a professional photographer to get professional results. It may not happen each time you take a photo, but over time you will learn what works. Practicing not only helps you improve but it's also part of the fun. Just get out there and capture what inspires you. I recently purchased my first DSLR, a Nikon D3000. It has been great so far. I would recommend it or the D5000 as well. They are in your budget range.</p>

<p>Thank you so much! I look forward to learning from everyone!</p>

<p>I have always enjoyed taking pictures of various things. I recently purchased my first DSLR camera and I am looking forward to really improving my photography skills. Nature and children are probably my favorite subjects as you can generally capture great candid shots. I look forward to being able to use the tools provided here and getting to know other photographers. Any feedback or advice is welcomed. Thanks so much !</p><div></div>
