HOW TO FIND THE BEST DIGITAL CAMERA
It seems that every month, if not every week, different manufacturers
are coming up with the latest digital cameras to entice potential
clients. And it's just not working for us!
After spending sizeable amount of time at the mall 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, (that
will be the envy of almost everyone we know). We march to the
mall armed with our life savings and lotsa pride in ourselves,
when we pass by a new display - an eight mega pixel, up to 1G
expandable memory, with built it mic and stereo surround, 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 life savings and
a few 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."
And so it confuses us. What makes a digital camera, the best
digital camera?
Well, there are certain factors to consider when looking for
the "best digital camera" for us.
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 come out. A mega pixel is equivalent to one million pixels.
The resolution of your image is based upon the mega pixel property
of your 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 card and the likes. And these types
of memory cards go with certain types of digital cameras. of course
memory storage is also up there in choosing the best 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 family outing and have to lug it
around?! Or you don't want to buy the latest point and shoot camera
when you're serious about being a professional photographer. (Of
course, you can use this for starters, but if you're not a novice
photographer anymore, you wouldn't want to get this kind of camera.)
Actually, the best digital camera is the one that you will enjoy
and use. Not the type that you'll just leave rotting in its box
or after a few weeks of usage or so, up there in the attic.
