What Digital Cameras are Best for Newbie Photographers?

By Milos Pesic

For those individuals who are interested in digital photography, but have no previous knowledge it is important to say that it can be a little discouraging prospect. As there is a great number of various models offered, it seems to be not so easy to select the most suitable one. Still, before you go to the shop in order to buy a digital camera, make sure you know precisely what features you are looking for, and then it would be much easier to choose.

However, there is a list of some factors that you should have in mind before you decide on a particular model some of which are: megapixels, zoom, the type of images you would like to capture, when and where are you planning to use it, the price, etc.

First of all, think how many megapixels are you going to need? With the camera containing 10mp or more, you will get ultimately ultra-clear images, which will cost you more money, and you will need more storage space due to the bigger file size. In that sense, although some beginners seem to search for maximum megapixels, anything around 5mp is more than adequate if you intend to print images at standard sizes. Still, if you want to move into A4 or larger, then you will have to consider 10-15 mp for an extraordinary standard of clarity.

Still, some basic features such as batteries, a camera case and memory cards can be features you would like to check thoroughly. However, if you are aiming at the top quality digital camera, it is likely that you may want to consider filters, lenses, tripods and flash units. Hence, you are advised to take some time and shop around in order to find the most suitable model. The good thing is that some of the expensive models are available at the bargains, too.

In brief, beginner's photography is about making a choice of the right digital camera. It means that you shouldn't go for one that is out of your league. Because of that, you are recommended to do a kind of a research by reading reviews online from current editions of digital camera magazines. However, no matter if you are shopping online or from your local retailer, take the previously mentioned tips into account before making the final decision. - 32363
