Over the last few years manufactures have been releasing a vast array of compact digital cameras. If you are thinking of buying a compact digital camera for yourself, or as a present for someone else then there are a few features you should be looking out for?
1. Amount of Megapixels
Digitalcamera Screen
2. Camera Size
3. Optical/Digital zoom
4. LCD screen size
5. Memory cards
6. Battery type
Amount of Megapixels: Many people are confused into thinking that the more megapixels a camera has, the better the camera or picture will be, but this is not necessarily true. A 10 megapixel camera may produce sharper, crisper and better pictures than a 12 megapixel digital camera. When looking for a digital camera you should choose a model with 8 megapixels or more. But don't get sucked in by the more megapixels the better, hype. Canon for example have released some new cameras with lower megapixels than their previous versions.
Camera Size: Compact digital cameras come in many different sizes and thicknesses. Before you buy one it is important to decide what you want to use it for. If you just want a point and shoot camera that will fit in your purse or pocket then look for one of the slim digital cameras. If you want to be more creative then you will find that most slim digital cameras will not have the features that you need, so a larger digital camera will be more suitable. These cameras will normally need a case to put them in, and will be too large for a pocket. Slim and thin or compact and creative, you decide.
Optical/Digital zoom: All digital compact cameras have both an optical and digital zoom. Sometimes the manufactures make the digital zoom sound really good. Again don't be taken in by a 10x or 20x digital zoom, because using it will actually make the picture look very grainy. The optical zoom is much more important as the picture quality doesn't degrade when using it. Look for an optical zoom of 3x and above. The bigger the optical zoom, the closer and bigger the image will look through the view finder or LCD screen.
LCD size: Many compact digital cameras have a viewfinder and an LCD screen to take pictures with. But these days most people just use the LCD screen as it is easier to use. Having a bigger screen allows you to easily see what you are taking a picture of. It is also easier to navigate menus and review pictures after they have been taken. Buy a camera with an LCD screen of 2.5 inch or bigger.
Memory cards: My advice here would be to find out what memory card the camera will use, and buy the largest capacity that you can. Memory cards sizes are normally between 16MB and 8GB. When taking digital pictures you will find that a 1GB card doesn't hold as many pictures as you think, especially if you go on holiday or like to travel. For example if you have a 10 megapixel camera, you will be able to get around 200 jpeg images on a 1GB card. The best option is to buy two and then you always have a spare, if one gets lost or is damaged then you always have a back up.
Battery type: Your camera will either use disposable batteries or the manufactures own rechargeable battery. I always prefer to buy a compact digital camera that uses the manufactures own battery. The reason is that you are normally able to take more pictures, and they are easier and cheaper in the long run, as you don't need to constantly buy batteries. I would always recommend having a spare one, as they have a tendency to go flat just when you need them most.
