Digital Camera Buying Guide

Is your camera old and worn out? Better yet is your camera still using actual film? If so it is definitely time to get a new camera, but which one do you choose? There are many factors that come into play when selecting a camera.The first thing to think about is the type of camera you want. Do you want a quick point and shoot camera, or do you want to take some serious pictures and have alot of manual control of how the pictures will be taken. By deciding what type of camera you are looking for will help you greatly in selecting the final camera you want.

One more thing to think about is the physical size of the camera you want. Do you want something light weight that you can put in a pocket or a purse, or do you not care if it has it's own case and weighs 2-3 pounds? The size will directly effect the type of camera you end up buying as there are cameras of both sizes with all kinds of features. Size of camera will mainly affect the quality of lens and the ability to switch them out.The color of the camera is also a big deal to most people that are buying a camera.

Even though camera color does not effect the functionality of a camera, it is an important aspect for a lot of people. For example, a girl does not want to have a camo colored camera and won't ever take pictures with it. To make sure the camera gets used often and is getting its money's worth, make sure its a color that the picture taker likes.Features are the next thing you should think about. Make sure your new camera has red eye reduction, lighting features, and make sure it takes pictures in high res. Most cameras also take HD video and have many more bells and whistles than we will mention here.
