Depending on what type of camera you are planning to buy, you may want to seek out professional advice in helping you to choose the right model. Digital cameras come in many shapes and sizes, from pocket-size types for everyday use to large SLR cameras for more professional shots. And of course there are still analog cameras bravely kicking around in this world of technology.
There is so much digital camera information that it's difficult to sort through all of it to make an informed choice. But of course, it is always important to adequately research any major purchase, or you are just going to be setting up yourself for disappointment.
In the old days, even up to a few years ago, digital cameras were non-existent, or offered such poor resolution that there was really no point to them. Unless you really needed instant digital pics, you would always be better off buying a normal camera, and all you would have to look at was camera lens information to make sure that your lens had the right diameter and focus to meet your needs. Sure you could look at camera information on polaroids, on different kinds of film, on different brands, etc., but this was all still pretty basic.
How things have changed over the last few years. Digital cameras have taken over, and many photo stores are even cutting down on their availability of analog cameras and film processing. Digital camera come as small as a keychain, and can cost under $20. Depending on the resolution of the camera you can blow up pictures as large as you like and they will still be crystal clear. You can also buy additional lenses, switch between panoramic and regular modes, as well as custom program your own settings.
If you aren't up to date on today's technology, then you may want to head to a local electronics or camera store to see what the salespeople recommend, or look online to find articles about cameras. When you have the camera specifications narrowed down you can then check out stores to see who offers the best deal. Places like eBay are also great for finding deals on electronics. Finding the right camera should be a breeze, unless your specifications are very unique. If this is going to be your very first digital camera you should check to see if your local community center offers beginner's classes on using digital cameras so that you can learn to use your digital camera to its full potential. At the same time as your digital camera purchase you may also want to look for a good photo printer, unless you want to get someone else to print them. - 16747
