The winning video in the 2009 Bonaire Digital Shootout was recorded, edited, and produced by James Heimer of the Houston Underwater Photographic Society. It is a spoof of the Blue Planet series profiling an underappreciated species of sea creature. This type of video is known as a narrative, in that it does not depict an actual event. Other types of videos are the more common documentary vidoes, which portray actual events, or music videos, which are based on a song or musical composition.

Yes, I am aware that SLR cameras provide much better picture quality blah blah but to be honest I don’t want to pay too much and I don’t want to be lugging around a big camera all the time! But if anyone can recommend a low price and compact one then I would definitely consider 
So basically I am not a professional but I would appreciate a camera which provides better results than the ones I have had/used before.
If possible I would like a camera with image stabilization, Live view LCD and colour control (especially flesh tones) as these are helpful for portrait photography. Fast multi-point auto focus and lots of external flash options would be a bonus.
The biggest problem I have faced with previous cameras is that the flash can wash people out (i.e. make their skin appear white/blue due to the harsh flash) I know that this can be expected when taking photos indoors/at night time but I am wondering if their are any cameras with settings that would help this as all I am asking for is decent quality photographs where people appear flesh coloured! I would like to spend between £150-£250 but can definitely pay more for something which is noticeably better.
Any suggestions would be appreciated and if you have any sample photos (preferably portrait style shots) taken on the cameras that I can see then that would be a bonus.
Thanks all!
Well if you want to do GOOD portrait & wedding photography then your options are pretty much to get a DSLR. You will just never get the results with a fixed lens and the small sensor of a compact – for one, your depth of field options will be severely limited (something extremely important in wedding/portrait photograph). Despite all the ‘blah blah’ as you put it they are better for this sort of thing.
If you must go for a compact I’d recommend something like the Canon G11, that has a hotshoe for off camera flash. However the G11 is almost as expensive as an entry level DSLR. The reason some flash looks awful is because its used on camera. You need to get it off camera, especially for portrait work. The G11 will allow you to get a flash or two & operate them wirelessly with a trigger on the hotshoe.
It just depends how seriously you want to take this (& to some extent how seriously you want others to take you). Judging by your Q I’d guess – not very.
David Hobby of the well respected Strobst site (well, amongst off camera flash users anyway!) reviews the G11 & its off camera flash capabilities here;

I became acquainted to photography only a little while ago. My friends had recently taken up this new hobby and went on and on about how great it is asking me to give it a try. I was a bit reluctant at first because the truth is I had never given it any thought.
To my surprise, my friends did not own the type of basic digital camera you are used to seeing everywhere. They had very large, high-tech devices with long noses, equipped with high resolution lenses which had a such a high zooming capability that one may have mistaken them to some paparazzi. One of them had taken up photography lessons and had influenced all of the others to buying this sort of cameras. When he first came holding that huge camera around his neck we were all very curios to discover all the features it had.
This was the first step to discovering the beauty of photography. We had no idea then that mere curiosity will take us ti a totally new world that we would have never discover otherwise. Then we started to practice, taking a few pictures every now and then and learning how to use the various features of the camera. We began to practice on how to focus effectively without cutting out on balance and then moved to zooming. My first shots were not all that great, but after a few days of practicing and more practicing | started to see some progress. For one week I used the SLR of one of my friends.
When I started to really enjoy it, I decided to buy my own camera. My friends told me that was their plan all along. If I knew it back then I would have probably been mad, but now I was thankful for making me discover photography. After practicing for a week or so, we decided we could start our journey to becoming real photographers. We began with portrait photography and then decided to move on to landscape pictures. We went out on a trip just to improve our skills. The destination we chose was supposed to be a great target for photography as it featured beautiful forests, a great atmosphere and plenty of wildlife. When we got there we were more than impressed – it was really breathtaking. We couldn’t have asked for a more suitable place for taking photos.
Then I really felt something different for the first time in my life. Something that cannot be explained in words. It just felt and it was amazing. Photography can teach you to appreciate things in a totally different way, regardless of how small or big they are. You see the beauty in every detail an then how all of these little things complete each other to make a whole – and this offers you a completely new vision. I now think everyone should try photography at least once. Even if only because it gives you the opportunity to see more beauty in the world – and the feeling is incredible.

Canon digital cameras have been upfront in their designs, user friendly menus and innovative technology. Be it a simple point and shoot digital camera or a high end digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex), Canon’s expertise has justified every need and pocket. They are constantly on the lookout for path breaking advancements that serve your imaging needs.
Canon has well above 1000 patented digital technologies and is seeking extended innovation each year. Most of the Canon digital cameras have a 9- point AiAF, i.e. providing true auto-focus. The screen is divided into 9 parts and the focus is captured with finesse. This is unique from the traditional 5- point auto-focusing methodology. Canon also developed the popular multi face detection technology that enables to detect up to 9 faces in its lower end digital cameras and up to 35 faces in its higher end cameras. This feature is also extended to its video shooting function. The video capturing mode has this feature extended by incorporating ‘face select and tracking’ which enables you to track a face among a crowd.
Canon’s digital SLR’s sports the ground breaking ESO technology. This technology has an integrated cleaning system which functions to remove the dust particles on the lens and on the image. It has inbuilt hardware to shake off the dust particles from the lens and software to remove the sticky dust grains from the image. Thus it aims at providing the best possible image by removing all faults. They have also initiated the anti-noise processing which takes care that no dots or white lines are formed in the image unlike other cameras which remove the noise after the image is taken which might result in distortion of the image.
Some of the highly rated canon digital camera include PowerShot, IXUS and EOS. The PowerShot is aimed at the simple point and shoot user, the price is affordable and it features cameras below 10 mega pixels available in varied colour options and designs. The IXUS series is the mid-range digital camera offering that are more advanced and bit pricey. The ESO series offers digital SLR’s that are meant for professional photographers and photography enthusiasts. These SLR’s are available with different range lenses. Canon has roped in Sachin Tendulkar as their brand ambassador for marketing of their popular product line. Canon has emerged as a pioneer in its design, technology, and usability thus becoming a name synonymous to photography.
