What questions should you ask yourself when looking for a digital camera?
So many of these questions are fairly easy to answer when you have purchased
so many cameras for yourself as well as shopped for friends and family.
All of my suggestions and recommendations come from my personal experiences.
The digital age we've been a part of these many years has brought better and
better products to surface. Products become more and more easy to use and
therefore the user experience is ever-improving. Some quick and important
questions you should ask yourself before buying include:
1. Do you have accessibility issues to be concerned with? (i.e. Arthritis, eyesight, etc.) 2. What size prints are you expecting to ever print out? (i.e. With the technology today you can ignore this question practically) 3. Have you read camera reviews and checked out the competition? (i.e. http://www.dpreview.com -or- http://www.cnet.com ) Only until answering the above questions in detail would I recommend going shopping for a digital camera. Today, with the technology moving so rapidly it is hard to find a camera that is not capable of at least printing out a 8 1/2" x 11" print. How often is the average user actually going to do this? Sometimes editing and cleaning up photos might require a higher resolution camera. All of my advice is centered around point-and-shoot digital cameras and for those people that are new to digital photography. I have friends who are in the Digital SLR space that could offer more help there. I have some Fujifilm preferences as you can see from my own ownership list below. The only camera that I currently own is the F810 which is a great camera! I've been fortunate to sell my used Fuji cameras which has enabled me to buy the latest ones I'm enthusiastic about. Another camera by Fujifilm that I'm eagerly awaiting is the F10. Will I be getting it?...I still don't know, but you can view it from the website that I enjoy going to for digital camera reviews, http://www.dpreview.com Have fun and shop wisely! Oh, just so you know, I bought my parents a Canon Powershot A60 since at the time 2 Megapixel is all they needed. The only complaint that one could make is the shooting time and turn-on time is quite slow. Otherwise, my parents are very happy with the camera and the quality of the shots. Not a bad price either! :) |
