How To: Choose a Digital Camera

 

Digital cameras cost more than regular cameras, but they offer the convenience of immediate viewing, multiple-image storage and computer connectivity-and there's no film to develop.

Steps

1. Buy the camera with the highest resolution you can afford, at least 10-14 megapixels, if possible.

2. Look for a 100% glass lens as opposed to a plastic one.

3. Buy a camera with as much RAM as you can afford. More RAM means camera can store more pictures, so you won't need to download or erase them as often.

4. Expect zoom to be the feature you will use most. Compare optical, as opposed to digital, zoom capabilities.

5. Compare flash modes, if any.

6. Investigate viewfinders: Look for an optical (through-the-lens) viewfinder as well as an LCD display.

7. Consider autofocus and macro features, shutter-release lag times, and bundled software.

8. Compare additional features you might want: interchangeable lenses, steady shot, burst mode, auto exposure, automatic white balance, voice memo, variable shutter speeds, manual focus and self-timer.

9. Compare removable media of various types (if you need more storage space for your photos).

10.Investigate batteries, chargers and battery-saving features.

11. Look for additional features you might need, such as USB or IEEE (FireWire) connectivity, a battery-time-remaining indicator, an AC adapter or video-out connections for outputting to a television.
