Choosing Best Digital Camera for this Holiday

This weekend you plan to go. And the trip had to be planned in advance.Preparing for such maps, equipment bags, mats and indispensable is the camera, and today I will recommend How to buy the camera.




1. Determine what you need




A mistake I see some digital camera buyers making is that they get sucked into buying cameras that are beyond what they really need. Some questions to ask yourself before you go shopping:





  • What do you need the camera for?

  • What type of photography will you be doing? (portraits, landscapes, macro, sports)

  • What conditions will you be largely photographing in? (indoors, outdoors, low light, bright light)

  • Will you largely stay in auto mode or do you want to learn the art of photography?

  • What experience level do you have with cameras?

  • What type of features are you looking for? (long zoom, image stabilization, large LCD display etc)

  • How important is size and portability to you?

  • What is your budget?


2. Megapixels are NOT everything




One of the features that you'll see used to sell digital cameras is how many megapixels a digital camera has.




When I first got into digital photography, a few years back, the megapixel rating of cameras was actually quite important as most cameras were at the lower end of today's modern day range and even a 1 megapixel increase was significant.




These days, with most new cameras coming out with at least 5 megapixels, it isn't so crucial. In fact at the upper end of the range it can actually be a disadvantage to have images that are so large that they take up enormous amounts of space on memory cards and computers.




One of the main questions to ask when it comes to megapixels is ‘Will you be printing shots'? If so – how large will you be going with them? If you're only printing images at a normal size then anything over 4 or so megapixels will be fine. If you're going to start blowing your images up you might want to pay the extra money for something at the upper end of what's on offer today.




 




3. Equipment




Keep in mind as you look at cameras that the price quoted may not be the final outlay that you need to make as there are a variety of other extras that you might want (or need) to fork out for including:





  • Filters

  • Tripods/Monopods

  • External Flashes

  • Reflectors

  • Camera Case

  • Memory Cards

  • Spare Batteries/Recharger

  • Lenses


Some retailers will bundle such extras with cameras or will at least give a discount when buying more than one item at once. Keep in mind though that what they offer in bundles might not meet you needs. For example it's common to get a 16 or 32 megabyte memory card with cameras – however these days you'll probably want something at least of 500 megabytes (if not a gigabyte or two).
