Buying a Digital Camera

The price of digital cameras has been lowered dramatically as the popularity increases. You can now purchase a digital camera for anywhere from $30 to $400. As always, remember that you can get what you pay for, and don't expect to get top quality photos from a cheap camera; you may end up disappointed !
There are many types of digital cameras on the market, and it will help if you know what they are when you start to shop. Some of the newest models are Digital SLR, Electronic View Finders, and Range Finders.
Digital SLRs are very much like film -loaded cameras. A series of mirrors and prisms control the optical path
to produce a digital image on the LCD screen. You actually see what you are photographing when you look through the lens.
Electronic View Finders and Range Finders work much like a video camera, and optical view finder controls the picture instead of a lens. You don't look through a lens to take a picture; you are looking at a digital image.
Many of these cameras have the technology to allow video footage; therefore it is enabled by the manufacturer. You can shoot up to three minutes of video footage depending on the quality of the camera you are using. You new camera should have at least 2 megapixels resolution; anything up to 8 MP will provide great shots. 1.9 - 2.5 MP seems to be standard on to-day's market, but you can get more than 8 MP in some cameras on the professional market. Any less than 2 megapixels will frequently create poor- quality pictures that are fuzzy and blurred.
Ask to see samples of the pictures taken by that specific camera before you buy, and check the focus and zoom. The quality of the lens will make a big difference in your photos, so be sure it has a good lens. Another important item on your digital camera is a flash; without this, you will not be able to take pictures inside.
Understand all the features and controls before you purchase your new digital camera. It can be confusing to remember how it works when you get the camera home if you don't understand how each feature works.
