| HOW TO FIND THE BEST DIGITAL CAMERA |
It
seems that every month, if not every week, different manufacturers are coming
up with the latest digital cameras to entice potential clients. And it's just
not working for us!
After
spending sizeable amount of time at the mall figuring out which is the best
digital camera for us, we finally have enough money to buy for that
eye-popping, 7 mega pixel, 10x digital zoom, potable, candy colored, up to
512MB expandable memory of super hi-speed SD memory card and not to mention
very portable, (that will be the envy of almost everyone we know). We march to
the mall armed with our life savings and lotsa pride in ourselves, when we pass
by a new display - an eight mega pixel, up to 1G expandable memory, with built
it mic and stereo surround, video playback capable, with 22 scenic modes kind-of-camera. And we sigh because the producer of this amazing gadget claims that this is
the best digital
camera yet out
in the
market. And so as we always want to have the best, armed with our life savings
and a few credit cards, we buy the "best digital camera." But then
again, that doesn't last too long, after two months or so, there's another
"best digital camera."
Well,
there are certain factors to consider when looking for the "best digital
camera" for us.
MEGAPIXELS.
One of the most important features of digital camera to make it into the best
digital camera category is its mega pixel property. The higher the mega pixels
the better the actual photograph will come out. A mega pixel is equivalent to
one million pixels. The resolution of your image is based upon the mega pixel
property of your camera. This means that as you enlarge the picture, you would
get more detail and less blurry colors.
LCD
SIZE. The best digital camera will always have a large LCD to help you frame
your subject without having to squint to the viewfinder. This is also helpful
when reviewing your images, some cameras enable touch up and editing features
with its LCD. A 1.5-inch display is average, a 2-inch LCD display is good, but
the best LCD size would be 2.5 inches or higher.
ZOOM.
Most digital cameras have both digital and optical zoom. A higher optical zoom
is always better than a higher digital zoom. Digital cameras are usually
furnished with optical of between 3x to 10x. The better the optical zoom, the
higher it climbs up to the best digital camera category.
MEMORY
CARD. Always make sure that your memory card is the right one for your digital
camera. There are different types of memory card like the xD, SD, Flash card
and the likes. And these types of memory cards go with certain types of digital
cameras. of course memory storage is also up there in choosing the best digital
cameras. Choose the size of memory that you need, if you're a photo junkie, you
might need more than 32MB. Memory cards can go up to 1G.
The
key point to find the best digital camera is to find one that will best fit you
and your lifestyle. Don't just buy the latest or the one that claims they are
the best digital cameras out in the market. You wouldn't want to buy a DSLR and
use it with your home activities or family outing and have to lug it around?!
Or you don't want to buy the latest point and shoot camera when you're serious
about being a professional photographer. (Of course, you can use this for
starters, but if you're not a novice photographer anymore, you wouldn't want to
get this kind of camera.)
Actually, the best
digital camera is the one that you will enjoy and use. Not the type that you'll
just leave rotting in its box or after a few weeks of usage or so, up there in
the attic.
