How to Buy a Digital Camera

You donð€™t need to buy the camera with the highest megapixel count you can find.  This may lead you to a rather large or heavy camera that you will not want to carry around with you everywhere.  If you are going to use your camera to e-mail pictures to friends and relatives or also just printing out a quality picture, many cameras will do this job with a good resolution that have 5 megapixels.  The size of your camera also depends on what you want to do with your camera.  If you donð€™t mind carrying it around in a larger case, then perhaps you want a bigger camera and with more megapixels, but if you are looking for a camera that easily fits in your pocket, you can find one and it will have around 5 megapixels.  

The more optical zoom a camera has means the less cropping you will have to do on your computer for the picture, also when cropping you may have to worry about just how clear your picture is.  Some cameras offer zoom ratings up to 15X which is great for sports or nature, but you will most likely need a tripod to keep it steady.  Just beware of some advertising that combines the optical zoom, which moves the lens to magnify the object, and the digital zoom which captures fewer pixels and magnifies them.  The optical zoom gives you the camerað€™s maximum resolution and lets you get closer to the action.  

Most digital cameras come with a starter memory card which only stores six to eight pictures, but this isnð€™t that important because you should just go ahead and purchase an SD (Security Digital) card which you can find a 2GB SD card for around $20.  Some cameras can use either disposable or rechargeable batteries, if that is the case it is more of a personal preference.  The cost of disposable batteries can add up, but if you buy the rechargeable battery, thatð€™s all you need.  The only drawback to rechargeable batteries is that you do have to wait while it is charging.  

As you can see there are some things to consider when purchasing a digital camera, not to mention the most important thing, which is your budget.  You can find a 5 megapixel camera, which will the job for most of us that are just capturing great moments, a good brand name with 3X optical zoom for less than $400.
