Looking to buy a new digital camera? Here are a some suggestions on how to buy the digital camera that’s perfect for you.
Shop by Brand
Do your research for a digital camera under one specific brand. Switching back and forth between different brands can create unnecessary confusion. Brands do share common basic functions, but obviously they don’t all share the same technological features which make a brand different or unique… maybe even better for what you want from a digital camera. For example, the SD 750 has a feature that automatically focuses in on a subject’s face.
Megapixel: Is More Better?
Don’t let megapixels be the only deciding factor for choosing your digital camera. More megapixels in a digital camera doesn’t necessarily mean better picture or print quality. Although the trend has been for digital camera manufacturers to offer 8, 10 or 12 megapixel digital cameras, Consumer Reports research shows that a 7 megapixel digital camera is adequate for the average digital camera user. The Canon PowerShot Camera has a resolution of 7.1 megapixels and has many favorable reviews.
Optical vs. Digital Zoom
Just remember the most important thing about zoom on a digital camera; optical and digital zoom are not the same. Digital zoom or magnification is achieved through the software within camera. Whereas, optical zoom is magnification through the camera lens and is higher quality that what can be achieve from digital zoom. Consider what types of pictures you will be taking. Automatic point and shoot digital cameras such as the Canon SD750, have 3x optical zoom and regular or hobbyist camera users will be happy. Anyone who will be taking sports or nature pictures may want a camera with 10x optical zoom lens or more.
