Digital cameras - Guide in Buying Digital Camera
Below are the guides in buying digital camera. It seems that every month, different manufacturers are coming up with the modern cameras to entice camera lovers. But it doesn't make us happy. Our brand new camera seems to get old quickly.
After spending big amount of time at the mall choosing which camera will works for us, we finally have enough money to put our selves into "buying digital camera mode". We walk to the mall armed with our life savings and lots of pride in ourselves, when we pass by a new display of a better and latest model of camera. And we sigh because the manufacturer of this gadget claims that this is the best camera yet. And so as we don't want to be out-dated, 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 "better digital camera."
Guide in Buying Digital Camera
And so we don't really know if our camera is still the good for us. Well, there are certain factors to consider that.
Guide in choosing the right megapixels
One of the most important features of digital camera / Hd camcorders is its mega pixel property. The higher the mega pixels the better the actual photograph will come out. One mega pixel is equal to one million pixels. The resolution of an image is based on the mega pixel property of your camera. This means that as you size of the picture increases you would get more detail and lively colors.
Guide to the right LCD size
A good digital camera will always have a large LCD to help you frame your subject without having to go to the viewfinder. This is also helpful when viewing images. Some cameras enable touch and editing features with its LCD. A 1.5-inch display is average, a 2-inch LCD display is good, but 2.5 inches or higher is what I recommend. Buying a small lcd sized-camera will make you regret after some time.
Guide in zoom levels
Latest model of digital cameras have digital and optical zoom. I would prefer a higher optical zoom than a higher digital zoom. Digital cameras are usually furnished with optical of between 3x to 10x.
Guide in Memory Card
Before buying a memory card, always make sure that your SD card is the right one for your camera. There are different types of memory card; xD, SD, Flash card and more. And of these go with certain types of cameras. Choose the size of memory that you need, if you're a photo lover, you might need more than 32MB. The capacity of memory cards can go up to 12G.
The best guide in buying digital camera for you is to find one that will fit you and your lifestyle. Don't just buy the latest or the one that claims they are the coolest digital cameras out in the market. You wouldn't want to buy a DSLR and use it with your home activities only. Or you don't want to buy the latest point and shoot camera when you're preparing to become a professional photographer. This will only fit for beginners.
