Digital Camera Shopping Considerations

By Chris Campbell

There are a large number of things one should take into consideration when they're looking to buy a digital camera. You need to look for size, manual options, the lag time for the shutter, what type of battery they use and so on.

Firstly, there is the Canon A590IS, which can be bought at either Best Buy or Radio Shack (you could also try eBay). It has many features including viewfinder, imagine stabilizer, auto focus, and uses a rechargeable battery. The camera is capable of using lens adapters made by Canon. To do, you can press a small button beside the lens, and you can now remove the bezel ring. You will now be able to your accessory lens as you wish.

Price is not always everything, but obviously a camera bought for $50 probably will not produce photos at the same quality of photos taken with a $400 camera.

Try to figure out how you're going to use the camera. If you will carry the digital camera around at all times, you will need a subcompact or compact digital camera.

If you need to learn more about photography, you should probably get a camera with super zoom or an advanced compact. They are better than the smaller versions, but the size also makes them more difficult to carry around. You also get more options with these cameras, like manual shooting options and a bigger zoom.

High end cameras are manual cameras, and have much more options than the previous two models. They are generally for more advanced photographers. They have more resolution, fabulous optics, and many more features. They are bigger than compact cameras, yet not the biggest cameras. DSLR's are larger.

A lot of people complain that digital cameras have a lag between the moment you push the button and when the picture is taken. If it's a moving subject, and the lag time is too big, you could lose the opportunity to take that photo. It can take 2-3 seconds in a subcompact or compact camera. In a super-zoom or advanced compact camera it will be between 1-3 seconds. The SLR will be the best option in this case, with the shutter taking only a fraction of a second.

When you're looking to acquire a new camera, make sure you check if it's compatible with any other cameras you might own. It will also make the transition easier, if you have the same options to choose from or if the shutter lag time allows you to take photos just as easy as before, or faster. - 2361
