What to look for in a Digital Camera

Canon A580 Front Looks
Digital Photography is one the most common and interesting art.Everybody wants a camera, but then when we go to buy it we have no idea of “what should be the criteria?”.I went out on discussion with my friends 2 days back who went through a lot of stuff and magazines to get the right idea.So here the post which can tell you what to look for.
What to Look For in digital camera when you buy next
- 5 Mexapixels: If you are a professional or you want a good quality of output, don’t go below 5 mega pixels or may be higher.
- 3x Optical Zoom: If you are a hobby photographer 3x will be more than enough but if you are going outdoor shooting, and you want to have good memories with quality buy a 12x.
- Memory Options: Flash memories are cheaper these days and its getting lower everyday, so don’t lure into buying a cheaper one.1 GB will be the best buy, you can store around 200 photographs with it.Check the reliability of the card and get the market review for it.
- Macro Mode: With this made on your camera you can take stunning photographs of objects like flowers and closer objects.
- Rechargeable Lihium-ion Batteries: Avoid camera which asks you to get new batteries every time.When you are on the move its easy to find a power point rather than getting new batteries.So get camera which have a long life batteries (Lithium-ion) and you can recharge them easy.
- Indoors and Outdoors: If you are shooting indoor, then you need to have a good flash and if you are shooting outdoors get a 12x optical zoom.Don’t compromise its one time investment.
- Connectivity Options: These days connecting with computers is the best option.Get a camera which can connect to your system with USB 2.0.These will not only ease you with data transfer but you can store it temporary anywhere.And as time changes WI-FI will be next option.
- Extra Options: Look for something more always.Multiple exposure settings, good shutter speed, white balance options and others.
So what do you think? You have some more ideas then share it.May be you can add here and other can get benefit out of it.You have one?
