Information To Buy Digital Cameras
by Sarah Marshall
Today consumers will find many choices when they buy digital cameras. Cameras are available in point and shoot models as well as DSLR. The right camera for you will depend on your plans for use. There are many models available and some are sold at very affordable prices.
When digital cameras were new, the largest challenge was to find the camera that offered the most megapixels. The pixels are the dots that form the image on the screen. More dots mean a higher resolution of your picture. Nearly all cameras today offer a minimum of ten megapixels. That resolution means that ten million dots fill the computer screen for each shot on the camera.
If you want to be able to take some quick snapshots that are adequate for prints and for emailing to friends and family, a point and shoot camera may be the best for you. You will not have to bother to focus the lens or set the f-stop with this camera. It will operate much like the Instamatic cameras of the seventies.
You will find many cameras that offer a zoom feature. You can get a closer shot of your subject without having to move closer. In addition, it is possible to zoom in on a photo on your computer, but you could lose some resolution.
The DSLR camera operates like SLR cameras that use film. Images are recorded onto digital media instead of film. Lenses can be changed on these camera bodies. You can choose to make your shots in either automatic or manual modes.
Buy digital cameras for great pictures. You can sort your shots on the computer and delete those that do not meet your expectations. In addition, you are able to edit your pictures. When ready for prints, you can make them at home or send them out for photo processing. The photos you take can be easily shared using e-mail as well.
