Focus on Features When Buying a Digital Camera
Being well informed about the main digital camera features before shopping
means you will know which are worth the extra cost. Reading reviews and
talking cameras with friends will be helpful, but here are the key points
to consider.
The first thing you will notice when looking at digital cameras is the
term megapixel is used often. Pixels are the colored dots that make up a
digital image. The term megapixel means one million pixels. Most models
are between two and five megapixels.
The more megapixels the sharper the image, generally, but the size of
enlargement is the important issue. You will be okay with three megapixels
for enlargements up to an 8x10, but for larger photos you'll want more. If
you plan to go big, the extra expense for a five megapixel is worth it.
But save your money if you will use the photos for emailing friends or to
make small enlargements.
The lens, as with any camera, is a prime consideration. Cheaper digital
models normally feature fixed lenses, which limits your scope
considerably. Zoom lenses, with their greater flexibility to frame and
bring images close, are worth the extra expense unless your use will be
very basic. A 3x zoom will give you reasonable range for typical shots,
but wildlife shots would benefit from a 10x. Be sure that you're getting
an optical rather than a digital zoom, which merely enlarges the pixels
and gives poorer image quality.
For even greater flexibility, you would need the interchangeable lenses
that come with professional cameras. While you would have the potential
for magnificent photos, the jump in price is huge.
Consider how you will use your camera. Some models have the capability to
take both video and still pictures. A combination model is more expensive,
but you won't have to purchase a separate video camera.
Size is a key factor. Will you want to carry around the camera if it is
large? Or will you make better use of a compact model that fits easily
into a pocket? While image quality is typically better in the larger
models, the smaller cameras do very well and likely get more use.
Virtually all digital models use a memory card or stick for storing
images, but usually you will need more memory than is provided with the
camera so budget for buying extra. The amount of memory you need depends
on how many pictures you will take. In general, look for memory that will
hold between fifty and one hundred pictures. When making a photography
purchase, make sure you can get replacement memory easily and
inexpensively for your model.
Heavy use of batteries is typical of digital cameras, especially when the
LED screen is turned on. Some major manufacturers use a proprietary
battery that's expensive to replace. Most useful is a battery that's
widely available and easy to recharge.
You will be given software with your purchase to download images onto your
home computer. This software allows you to store pictures on your
computer, email them to family or edit pictures for a variety of projects.
To correct serious problems with images, or for more professional
projects, additional software will likely be required. Be sure your
computer supports the software that comes with your camera.
