HOW TO FIND THE BEST DIGITAL CAMERA?

It seems that every month, different manufacturers are coming up with the latest digital cameras to entice potential clients.

After spending sizeable amount of time at the store figuring out which is the best digital camera for us, we finally have enough money to buy for that eye-popping, 7 mega pixel, 10x digital zoom, potable, candy colored, up to 512MB expandable memory of super hi-speed SD memory card and not to mention very portable. We march to the store armed with our savings and lotsa pride, when we pass by a new display - an eight mega pixel, up to 1G expandable memory, video playback capable, with 22 scenic modes kind-of-camera. And we sigh because the producer of this amazing gadget claims that this is the best digital camera yet out in the market. And so as we always want to have the best, armed with our credit cards, we buy the "best digital camera." But then again, that doesn't last too long, after two months or so, there's another "best digital camera."

 

What makes a good digital camera, the best digital camera?

Well, there are certain factors to consider when looking for the "BEST digital camera":

MEGAPIXELS. One of the most important features of digital camera to make it into the best digital camera category is its mega pixel property. The higher the mega pixels the better the actual photograph will be. A mega pixel is equivalent to one million pixels. The resolution of your image is based upon the mega pixel property of camera. This means that as you enlarge the picture, you would get more detail and less blurry colors.

LCD SIZE. The best digital camera will always have a large LCD to help you frame your subject without having to squint to the viewfinder. This is also helpful when reviewing your images, some cameras enable touch up and editing features with its LCD. A 1.5-inch display is average, a 2-inch LCD display is good, but the best LCD size would be 2.5 inches or higher.

ZOOM. Most digital cameras have both digital and optical zoom. A higher optical zoom is always better than a higher digital zoom. Digital cameras are usually furnished with optical of between 3x to 10x. The better the optical zoom, the higher it climbs up to the best digital camera category.

MEMORY CARD. Always make sure that your memory card is the right one for your digital camera. There are different types of memory card like the XD, SD, Flash cards... And these types of memory cards go with certain types of digital cameras. Choose the size of memory that you need, if you're a photo junkie, you might need more than 32MB. Memory cards can go up to 1G.

 

The key point to find the best digital camera is to find one that will best fit you and your lifestyle. Don't just buy the latest or the one that claims they are the best digital cameras out in the market. You wouldn't want to buy a DSLR and use it with your home activities?! Or you don't want to buy the latest point and shoot camera when you're serious about being a PRO photographer.

Actually, the best digital camera is the one that you will enjoy and use. Not the type that you'll just leave in its box or after a few weeks..
