By Dick Busch

You can understand why so many people are confused when they decide to buy their first digital camera, with so many variations, what do you look for? For someone who is dedicated then they may spend quite some time researching consumer reports to find the best digital camera. Finally you decide upon the latest 12 megapixel model with a huge optical zoom and a feature list as long as you arm. The problem is by the time you actually get to the mall, the model you have set your heart on is no longer the one to own as there is a new better version that you must now have.

We sigh because the manufacturer of this amazing gadget claims that this is the best digital camera yet out in the market. But this dilemma is very short lived because you promised yourself the best digital camera and that is what you are going to have. Don't worry though if you are not sure what to do; just follow the guide below and you shouldn't go to far wrong. First off try and search out a model with a higher number of pixels, referred to megapixels; you ideally need over 5 although with today's cameras it would be hard to find one under that anyway.

We sigh because the manufacturer of this amazing gadget claims that this is the best digital camera yet out in the market. The best digital camera is now going to cost us considerably more and being new there aren't any discounts to be had. There are certain factors to consider when looking for any digital camera. Much is made about the number of pixels and the truth is the more you have the better.

So we have a dilemma because now there is this new version, we simply must have this latest best digital camera. The best digital camera is now going to cost us considerably more and being new there aren't any discounts to be had. If you are new to digital cameras and photography the tips below might be useful and point you in the right direction. You really need to dismiss any decent model with less than 8 megapixels but I don't think there are many available now.

A number of cards have been used over the years but the main ones are: the Secure Digital, Compact Flash, Sony's Memory Stick and the newer XD cards. Try to obtain the largest memory you can for your camera and your budget. For example, for the price of a 256mb card a couple of years ago you can probably now buy a 2 gigabyte and now some memory cards can go up to 16 gigabytes. Remember, the camera must suit the type of person you are as much as your wallet as there is no point having the best digital camera if you do not use it. either you use your camera for fun or for serious photography, as long as it is used it will be worth the financial outlay.

The larger the display the better but remember that the greater the size the screen shorter the life of the batteries. More and more digital cameras are coming equipped with an optical zoom and this is the sort to try for even if it is only a three times power. You will find lower price cameras almost never have an optical zoom fitted so it will really be down to your budget. These cameras use a memory card to store the images on but there are a variety of types, so be careful when buying one for your model.

There are different types of memory card: like the XD, SD, Compact Flash, Memory Stick being the main ones. Purchasing a large memory card means you can store larger resolution images and many more of them but sometimes the larger capacity cards might not be compatible with your model. Whereas a few years ago a large storage card would be somewhere in the region of 2gb to 4gb, it is not uncommon to use cards with 8 gigabytes or more of storage now. Your life and interests should really be the ideal measuring stick for the type of digital camera you ultimately buy. Actually, the best camera is the one that you will enjoy and use for a long time without the need to upgrade constantly. - 32363
