A Beginners Guide To Choosing A Digital Camera by: Richard Merson Digital photography is no longer a ‘new
thing’. Digital photography has flourished of late and for good reason.
Gone are the days when taking your holiday snaps required buying a film,
taking pictures in the hope that at least half would develop and then
tripping down top the processor after your holiday or sightseeing. Now
there is a multitude of options from the expensive to inexpensive that
allow you to take your pictures, view the results and decide which
pictures to save for future printing on your home PC or delete as
unsatisfactory. All the former big boys in the camera market, such as
Canon, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus and Fuji now have digital cameras to suit
every pocket and every use. There are even numerous smaller companies
building digital cameras to suit this ever growing market. For a first
time buyer the choice can be so bewildering, so how do you choose which
camera will suit you? Once you have established your budget consider the type of pictures you’ll be taking. Are you likely to be taking pictures everywhere you go? Consider the weight and size of the camera you need. Are you likely to be taking pictures of friends and relatives on location or do you have an eye for the picturesque panoramas? Maybe consider a zoom lense, for panoramas go optical for family shots a digital zoom with flash may suffice. Are you a habitual snapper when the cameras in your hand or an opportunist clicker? Consider the size of memory you’ll require. The opportunist may not require huge lumps of memory but a habitual snapper may be different. Think about battery life. If your going to take a few shots a day you’ll need a better battery life than if you take the odd snap. Once you have chosen the best combination of size, weight, memory, battery life and zoom for your uses, consider how you will use your pictures. If you need to print large pictures off your computer beware the more megapixels (resolution) you have the better. It is a sure thing that the higher the megapixels the more expensive the camera, so leave this choice till last. For a beginner spending your budget on a camera based on megapixels initially will lead to a poor choice with a camera that does have the other characteristics to suit your purposes. If you generally print off the more traditional photo sizes for an album do not be to concerned with the number of megapixels, most base model digital cameras will give you an adequate print.
