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."
And so it confuses us. What makes a digital
camera, the 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.
