The problem with technology is that it doesn't stand still even for a minute so you can't get to grips with it before it has moved on and digital cameras functions are a prime example,many of these functions the average buyer has either no need for or just doesn't understand. If you were to buy a digital camera tomorrow, what functions would you want to see it have as standard? If this is your first camera then you must be honest with yourself if you have no idea what functions you would want your camera to have.
Will you be taking it everywhere with you? Although costs have plummeted dramatically in recent years, it is still something that has to be considered. If you are using you home pc to carry out photo editing you will need to think about whether you pc is up to the task.Some new personal computers come with a digital camera as part of a package, this may be worth considering. Fortunately you won't have to pay for the image editing software when you buy a digital camera but if you are after a printer or cartridges, these will be an extra expense that will have to be catered for.
While many home printers are fine for general printing, you will need a special printer to carry out photo printing as well as special ink cartridges. The megapixel resolution of the camera will ideally need to be adjusted as high as it will go if you want to produce decent size images. Digital cameras need memory cards for picture storage, The larger megapixel models require cards with more space and fortunately these are now available with up to 32 gigabytes of storage,most users can happily use 1 or 2 gigabyte cards to store hundreds of images.
The more comfortable your choice is, the more likely it is you will use it. Consider where the buttons are located and how they are spaced out and see if you feel comfortable using the viewfinder. Many newer digital cameras come equipped with large internal rechargeable batteries but if not you shot invest in a couple of sets,long term it will be less expensive to use this type of battery. Some people buy their digital camera purely on the size of the screen,large screens make taking the picture so much easier.
Today, the viewfinder is being fitted on fewer types although screen sizes have increased dramatically but are the biggest drain on the battery. Try to buy a model with an optical zoom which usually start with 3x power, If you are serious about buying a digital camera then you should try to avoid purchasing one with only a digital zoom. If you have any sort of visual impairment then buying a model with a diopter adjustment can be a real benefit but this does not apply to screen only digital equipment. With this information, you can now figure out what you really need and want before you buy a digital camera. - 29888
