Digital Camera Help

With more and more cameras being released, consumers are having a hard time choosing a digital camera for themselves.
There are many factors that should be considered; image quality, price, other features.
Keep in mind that this camera will be what will record all your memories.
You want to pick a good camera, but at the same time not go over your budget.
With the cameras created these days, it is easy to find ones priced at $4000 and up.
The best advice for buyers is to make a list of features you would like.
Maybe you would like a big LCD screen.
Others might want manual controls, or face detection, or just a comfortable camera.
What size camera do you want? Pocket, Compact, high-end, or DSLR? Decide what your budget is, as this is very important.
Price is not always everything, but obviously a camera bought for $50 probably will not produce photos at the same quality of photos taken with a $400 camera.
As mentioned before, there are a few types of cameras.
First of all, there is the pocket camera.
Pocket cameras are very small, and generally do not require a case.
They can fit in a user's pocket, and they also work on automatic settings.
Compact cameras are a bit larger than the pocket cameras, although they still usually do not require a case.
These can also fit in a user's pocket, and some do have manual modes.
Generally though, they work on automatic settings.
High end cameras are manual cameras, and have much more options than the previous two models.
They are generally for more advanced photographers.
They have more resolution, fabulous optics, and many more features.
They are bigger than compact cameras, yet not the biggest cameras.
DSLR's are larger.
DSLR cameras (Digital Single Lens Reflex) have the best versatility, speed quality.
Although, with these comes less comfort.
The cameras are not very easy to use, and as especially hard to carry around.
On top of these, they are usually the most expensive cameras.
Lenses usually have to be bought separately.
As mentioned before, digital cameras vary in price greatly.
You can get a camera for under $100, or you can go up into the thousands.
It is important to prioritize, and decide which features you need.
Do not buy a camera that has features you will not use.
This, frankly, is a waste of money.
