AllElectronicStores.com Articles - Which Digital Camera to Buy

Deciding which digital camera to buy greatly depends on what type of a photographer you plan to be. If you want to shoot like a pro then you will probably be looking at all of the technical issues such as resolution, file formats and sensors.

If you are just a casual user and just want to buy a digital camera for taking family pictures and to take snapshots of your vacation then you will probably be mostly interested in ease of use and design features. Point and click might be more your style. Other people are only interested in buying a digital camera that offers the latest gadgets and user features.

Modern Technology for Modern People

Camera technology has changed quite a bit over the last half century. These days, digital cameras have basically replaced the traditional 35mm film cameras of the past. Sure, professional photogs still use the bulky, feature rich 35mm cameras but even the pros turn to digital cameras from time to time. This is especially true over the last several years as the technology behind these cameras has been advanced at a considerable rate. In fact, the technology has been advancing so fast that in a few years even the professionals may all be using digital cameras.

These days you can buy a digital camera with features such as auto exposure, auto focus, auto flash, and program modes. This has made it much easier for the average photographer to take better than average pictures. However, these same features do keep a certain percentage of the population from buying these more modern gadgets. The learning curve is not quite as steep as it may seem at first.

Choosing a Digital Camera

Before you can decide on a digital camera to buy, you will need to ask yourself a question or two. The first question revolves around pricing. It's a good idea to have a general price range in mind before you set out to buy yourself a digital camera. You can actually buy some cameras for under $100 but if you want all the bells and whistles you could pay well over $500 for your new goody.

The next question to ask yourself is what do you want your new digital camera to do? Do you just want to have the ability to point and shoot? Would you like to have some fancy appendages and design features that are geared toward the pros? In simple terms, how adjustable would you want your digital camera to be? Maybe you don't want to simply point and click but would prefer to buy a digital camera that does have some bonus features. Maybe just enough so that you would only need to spend one evening going over the instructions. Before you decide which features are a must have, it might be a good idea to review some of the possible choices.

Digital Camera Features and Terms

Megapixels - Think of pixels as tiny dots that fill up a screen. The more pixels, the better the picture will be. When you are looking for a digital camera to buy, try to get the most megapixels for your money. In general, 4 is okay, 6 is pretty good, 8 is great and 10 is fantastic.

Digital or Optical Zoom - These are two completely different ways to zoom in on a subject. Optical zoom is basically the old fashioned way and digital is the new way. With digital zoom, the picture is simply magnified. This causes a drop in image quality. Specifically, digital zoom can cause loss of sharpness and color saturation. Most digital cameras provide both an optical zoom and a digital zoom. If you have a choice, it would probably be a good idea to have optical zoom.

Viewfinders - Viewfinders come in three different flavors, optical, electronic and LCD. Optical viewfinders are pretty much like those that are found on 35mm cameras. You pretty much see the same image as the camera sees. LCD viewfinders are like small TV screens. They look great, however, they can be difficult to see in bright light or sunshine. Electronic viewfinders are just smaller versions of the LCD screen that is found on the back of most digital cameras. If you are a serious digital photographer then you will probably want an optical viewfinder.

Image Storage - Digital cameras store images on digital flash memory media. The memory storage can range from 8 to 512 Mb and even all the way up to 2 Gigabytes. The more storage the better. Of course, the more storage you have, the more it will cost. Having more storage means that you can keep more pictures on your digital camera before you have to upload your shots to your computer or a processing service.

Camera Size - This is a matter of preference. However, you should keep in mind that the smaller cameras generally have fewer features. Larger cameras generally have better image quality, more features, longer battery life, etc. As it is with just about everything else in life, there are trade-offs and compromises. With larger digital cameras you can expect longer battery life and more picture storage.

Your Final Decision

Try to buy a digital camera that fits your style as well as your budget. Ask friends and family for a Recommendation. Read online reviews. Visit electronics stores and actually handle the cameras so that you can see how they feel in your hand. Keep in mind that the technology behind digital cameras changes every year. What you buy this year might just be obsolete in a few years. In general, don't be stingy when it comes to megapixels, power capabilities and storage capacity.
