Guide For Starter To Buying A First Digital Camera
Everywhere you look there are cameras, and not simply the
camera outlets, however on the net, in mobile phone shops, papers, magazines, supermarkets
and so on. You’ll even get an inexpensive photographic camera as a free gift
for buying something else. Nowadays, you even get reasonably powerful digital
cameras up to 12 megapixels in mobile phones.
There are 3 criteria you should look into before buying a
digital camera either for yourself or as a gift for someone else. They are
- Quality - Do you wish for the camera to last at least a few years and not get damaged by a bit of bashing about? Then go for quality. A titanium or magnesium alloy body, not plastic, something that’s quite heavy and feels steady in your hands, you’ll invariable feel quality!
- Features – some of the more common features and functions you'll find on today's digital camera are
1.

- Price - My advice is to get the best camera and memory you can manage to pay for, and worry about extras later!
Please don’t persuade into buying a digital camera that has
"Non-Photographic" features, gadgets and gizmos. Buy a camera to be a
camera, and nothing else. I would suggest to buy one of the top brands such as
Sony, Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc., although they may cost little more but you
love the quality of pictures.
