The camera sells for around one hundred dollars and takes a great picture. This would be a camera for someone that is younger or someone that practices dropping cameras into water often. It is a nice little waterproof camera. It is small and lightweight for easy traveling.

I almost always see buyers pick a digital camera which offers much more than they need. Before you buy a camera, you need to know exactly what you need. What is the camera going to be used for? What type of photography are you going to use the camera for? Indoors, outdoors, sports? Will you be taking photos in light conditions, dark conditions? Are you going to use an automatic feature, or do you want to go manual like a pro? Are you an experienced user? What are the main features you want in the camera?

Lastly, it is important to realize that the price given for the camera may not be the final price you pay. Almost all cameras require additional accessories, some more than ot hers. Some of these extras may include a camera case, memory cards, batteries, lenses (for DSLR’s), filters, tripods, reflectors, and so on. Now, as you can probably tell, these are not ALL essential parts, but are still important to many people.

Britney is first. In this scenario, Britney doesn’t have a lot of money, so she wants to spend less than $150. She will use the camera to take photos of friends, family or pets. It will be her first digital camera, so she doesn’t know much about them and she also doesn’t want to read too many reviews and technical specifications. She wants to carry the digital camera in her pocket or in a purse, so it needs to be small. She will use the photos and upload them to her PC, to her MySpace and Facebook accounts and to the iPod Touch. It’s important that the camera is easy to use.

While she doesn’t know everything about SLR cameras, she knows a bit about them and she wants to learn more.

She is willing to spend more than $1000 on a digital SLR.This buy digital camera and this great digital camera should help.

1) Research adequately. When you arrive at your local electronics store, seeing all the beautiful, expensive, and shiny cameras is an exciting thing. It is hard to make up your mind when there are so many. It is important to do your research before coming. Be familiar with terms such as pixels, optical zoom, lens, and memory.

Paris is the second type of user. She will want a point and shoot camera, which come with good lenses in most cases, a good flash, better viewfinders and a lot of extra options, like image stabilization and face recognition. As long as the extra features aren’t hard to use, they are good. All you need to do with them is to point and click. A few options for Paris would be cameras like Canon PowerShot SD850IS, PowerShot A570IS with 7 megapixels and the PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS with 12X zoom and 8 megapixels. The S5 is a bit pricier, but it comes with a lot of features and it’s very easy to use.

Lindsay is the most mature one, and she’s looking for something more advanced. She already had other digital cameras before, both subcompacts and compacts. She just saw some photos taken by professionals and she wants to learn more about photography. While she doesn’t know everything about SLR cameras, she knows a bit about them and she wants to learn more. She doesn’t want something very complex though, as she appreciates being able to take photos without using the manual settings too much. She is willing to spend more than $1000 on a digital SLR.
