How to Buy the Right Digital Camera
When buying a digital camera there are many things you should consider. First you should understand how a digital camera works. What you are using your digital camera for will help you decide what features to consider and how much you should spend. I am here to educate you and help you decide. Let's start with understanding how a digital camera works. A digital camera uses semiconductor chips instead of conventional film. It's usually a Charged Coupled Device (CCD). When your shutter opens, light strikes the CCD, temporary electronic changes to the CCD and converted into computer language and recorded on either internal or removable memory. After which the images can be viewed on a small screen located on the back of the camera. Later, then of course downloaded to a computer. Did that make sense? It probably didn't if this is your first time buying a digital camera. Let's move on. Today there are endless cameras to choose from. You obviously have a price range in mind. If you are mainly using it to exchange snapshots over the internet or for creating quick and simple advertising, don't expect to spend more than $500.00. If you want some control over creation and images, expect to spend between $600 and $2000, especially if you want to make prints on a printer capable of "photo quality" reproductions. If only the 'best will do' for you than don't expect to spend anything less than $5000. You also have to consider what features you would like. The heart of the camera is the CCD. The larger it is, the more pixels it contains. As expected, the more pixels, the more it costs. If you just want to email your mom 500 miles away a snap shot of a 3 x 4 of your first born, a CCD with about 640 x 480 pixels will do. If it's a 5 x 7, than do not settle for less than 1280 x 1024 pixels. An 8 x 10 demands about 2000 x 1500 pixels. Also important things to consider are memory, types of flashes, and ease of download. Depending on what you plan to use your digital camera for will depend on how much you will spend. Keep the previous and following advice in mind before you leave to purchase your first camera and maybe it will be your last. A. Start out with the least expensive camera that will do the job today. B. Make sure that the camera you are purchasing is compatible. C. Ask if the camera you are purchasing can accept an external power supply. Digital cameras eat power faster than your car. You don't want to spend endless amounts of time sitting in line buying batteries for your camera. D. See if the software that comes with your camera has a photo-editing program. E. Lastly, ask your friends, neighbors, relatives how satisfied they are with their cameras.
