Digital cameras are selling like crazy. As the quality of images from digital cameras improve they are becoming much more affordable and the sales are simply not surprising. Consumers are also becoming more comfortable with the whole idea of taking of photographs digitally.
When buying a digital camera, you have to consider what you need and what you plan to use your camera for.
Types of digital cameras
Basically, there are three kinds of cameras. These are the point and shoot cameras, the professional cameras, and the prosumer cameras.
Point and shoot cameras operate automatically. All that's left for you to do is frame the subject. The camera deals with the exposure and flash option. You just need to point and shoot.
Prosumer Cameras. This camera is a step up from your typical point and shoot because it allows the photographer not only to shoot in a fully automatic mode but also to have control over various aspects of the exposure. They typically have various modes including portrait mode, a close-up mode, action mode, and landscape mode.
The resolution
No matter the camera type you'll be getting, you should still make some major decisions regarding the resolution.
When it comes it buying a digital camera, the most major factor should be the number of pixels a camera has. It plays a major part in digital picture quality, but there are also other contributors. Pixels are tiny squares and in some new models they're starting to use other shapes as well. The higher pixel count, the clearer your digital photographs.
The latest cameras have more that 4 million pixels. That kind of resolution will give you great quality 8 x 10 pictures. You will usually print pictures 8 x 10 and smaller, so these kinds of cameras will do.
Try various digital cameras before you purchase.
There are plenty of cameras with the same number of pixels but with different quality of images. Image sensors are the chips that record all the photos you take, and they are available in various types and sizes. It is recommended that you take a memory card into the store with you so that you can put it in each camera and take sample photographs that you can then take home to view on your computer to compare.
The technology is constantly improving and digital cameras will be constantly changing. Don't be surprised if several months after you purchase one there is one that is new and better with more pixels. If you just choose your digital camera well, you'll be able to enjoy and benefit form it for a long period of time.
If you do make the move into digital photography remember this. Most people who take pictures using a digital camera just save the photos on their computers and don't print them. Since photos can get lost this way, you should make sure you do print the special photographs so you'll have something to remember occasions by.
