Digital Camera Reviews

There are many things to consider when purchasing a digital camera. The camera must meet many requirements. You want a camera that can capture your memories in high quality so the pictures you take will look great whether displayed on your computer or printed on photo paper. The camera must be easy to operate when taking pictures and transferring them to your hard drive. Finally, the camera must be priced right.

There are two main types of digital cameras; point & shoot cameras and SLR cameras. Point & shoot digital cameras are the lower cost cameras that are great for capturing images for personal use. Digital SLR cameras are the more expensive, professional style cameras that can be used to capture images for high quality publications, such as magazines and posters.

Point & shoot digital cameras are priced from about $60 to $300. They usually range between 3MP and 12MP and have 2x to 12x optical zoom. The 1.5 to 3 inch LCD screens function as view finders as well as photo displays for the pictures you have taken.

Digital SLR camera prices range from $400 to several thousand dollars. They usually range between 8MP and 15MP and have a 3 inch to 5 inch LCD display. The real advantage to shooting with an SLR camera is the interchangeable lenses. Just pick your preferred level of zoom, attach, and shoot.

Additional features of digital cameras can include automatic exposure selection, image stabilization, red-eye correction, face detection, continuous shooting, saving pictures to memory cards, the ability to shoot video with sound, and much more.

With all the different types of digital cameras, how do you differentiate between the models and find out which one suits you the best? Here are a few things to consider:

• Are your photos meant for personal viewing or for commercial publications?
• What size megapixel camera do you need?
• Do you need an interchangeable lens?
• Do you want the ability to shoot video?
• Do you need extra features like red-eye correction, image stabilization, or continuous shooting?
