Choosing A Digital Camera Made Easy
You have a lot of options when it comes to choosing a digital camera in today's market. Here are a few tips on buying a digital camera.
Choose what type of digital camera you're looking for. Point and shoot slimline. In most cases these digital cameras come with face recognition, image stabilization, small lenses and 8 megapixels. They're easy to carry and maneuver so they're fit as casual to use cameras. The price usually varies from $150 to $250.
Point and shoot. These digital cameras look like SLR, though they are smaller and the lens can't be changed. In a lot of occasions these point and shoot cameras will also have a high zoom (10-15X). Their prices vary from $250 to $500, but over $400 you can even find a DSLR.
DSLR's come with lenses that can be changed, with better software and sensors. They're larger than casual digital cameras, but they also give you more room to maneuver, being able to shoot both in manual and automatic mode. You can pay as little as $500 for one, or you can end up paying as much as $3000 for the top of the line.
When I remember spending $1000 for my first compact digital camera like 6 years ago, I get a little queasy. This sucker is a 15.1 megapixel camera, an image sensor from the much more expensive 50D, HD (1080P / 720P) video capture, live view, dust removal, and a DIGIC 4 processor. A first time SLR buyer would be happy with this camera for a long time.
The technology behind digital cameras allows users to view the images on the built-in LCD screen (or TV set, if the camera has such an extension).
To wrap it up, if you are to choose between buying a digital camera and an old film one, there are lots of reasons why you should go for the latest technology.
