You can't take pictures without a camera. So if you haven’t got a point and shoot digital camera yet, what are you waiting for? These little gems are the most easy digital cameras to use that are available today, but they still have great features and take excellent pictures. It's a snap to get good pictures with al the preset selections!
When choosing what digital compact camera you would like to buy, it helps to first have some idea what kind of pictures you plan on taking most of the time. You need to decide if you just want an all-around sort of camera, or you'd like to find one that is really good at macro photography or sports photography or maybe you want to take a lot of indoor photos.
When choosing a camera, take into account anything you are particularly interested in when it comes to the camera features. The automatic settings will work in most situations, and the preset scene modes take care of a lot more. But some models particularly shine in a specific picture taking situation, and that’s what you need to find – a camera really good at what you want to do with it.
Learn some of the lingo. . .
Words like like megapixels, resolution, digital zoom and more will pop up when you shop for a digital camera.
The megapixels and resolution aren’t as big a concern on compact cameras these days. All but the smallest of these should provide decent snapshot sized prints. You need to think about getting a camera with higher megapixels only if you want to make a lot of enlargements on a regular basis.
the Lens Matters
Compact compact cameras either do not have zoom lens, or not a lot of optical zoom with 3 or 4X being most common. Good optical zoom lens take up space and are expensive. One camera can't be small and inexpensive and still have lots of optical zoom. There’s not enough room in the camera body for the lens to collapse back inside, and higher optical zoom drives up the cost.
However, while you may not be able to zoom in and get a picture of a little bird half-way across the county, you can still get some really good pictures with a compact camera. Carry these little carrys to sporting events, parties, hikes and on vacation. Not to mention they take a lot better pictures than most phone cameras do. Where you go, your little camera can go too.
Hey, don't miss out on the fun. Find one of the easy digital cameras you like, and get to taking pictures!
