Buying a digital camera can be a difficult task. With hundred of cameras to choose from, it's easy to get confused. The key to finding the perfect camera for your budget is to know a few things about what you're looking for.

Different retailers will offer different specials, packages, and prices, so check out different stores and do some comparison shopping. Shop around to find the best packages and deals, also check online, most retailers will have bigger discounts online.

The pixel size of the digital camera is important as it will decide the resolution of a photo to be enlarged. However, better quality pictures (more mega pixels) will mean more storage space will be needed for your photos. And it will also take longer time for image display, transmission or process.

Your camera will come with some memory, but it's still a good idea to purchase at least one memory card. Again, if you're planning on taking professional quality pictures, you definitely will need to purchase back up memory. Higher quality pictures or pictures with more megapixels will take up more memory.

When purchasing your camera you will need to choose between optical and digital zoom. When at all possible, choose a camera that offers optical zoom. Digital zoom just magnifies the image taken, this often creates a blurry or grainy effect when you try to enlarge pictures. Optical zoom provides a true image of the whether your zoom in or zoom out.

The final decision in choosing the best digital camera, is to buy one that best fit you and the purpose for which it is intended. - 32363
