Idiot's Guide to Buying a Digital Camera

So, You've made up your mind to buy a Digital Camera.

Having done some research myself, I prepared a list of things you should know while you are buying a Digital Camera.

Price of the Camera: It is the most important factor while buying a digital camera. When you go out or purchase online you will see that SONY is the most recommended name but that does not mean it is the best. It only means SONY is the most expensive camera. Cannon and Nikon offer better quality and cheaper price options.

Memory Stick: Memory stick or chip is another thing you should include in your pricing. Get at least 1 GB memory when you are ready to buy a camera.

Megapixels: This a more of a modern jargon. Any camera above 5 megapixels is good, however these days the trend is of 7 megapixels. A normal user would never make out any difference between a 7.2 megapixels camera or a 7 megapixels camera.


Battery Life: Just make sure that you know about the battery backup of your camera. Choose the camera with maximum battery backup.

Zoom Feature You will be made to count n number of features but you should be most concerned about the zoom feature. 3x or 4x zoom is considered good for photography.


My choice of a digital camera would be a combination of the above written features. I might go a little deep into researching about the quality of lense but broadly I would just want to know bout megapixels battery backup, and the zoom feature. Price of course will be a consideration. the camera the most suitably matches all these four critereas would be my ideal Digital Camera.

Selecting Digital Cameras

Digital cameras are pretty common these days. With plenty of options to choose from it is sometimes a little confusing as well if you are going to pick a digital camera. The first thing that strikes when you talk about digital cameras is SONY but let me tell you Sony is not the only choice you have. There are cameras that match SONY in quality equally. SONY anyways is not know for Digital Cameras.

Nikon and Cannon would be my best buy and I have reasons to say this. The foremost reason being the pricing. SONY, Nikon and Cannon offer similar quality and features and in most cases Nikon and Cannon have better features, however SONY is more popular and this makes SONY to price its products on the higher side. It is not that Nikon and Cannon are not good brands but the presence for SONY is much more.

In the end I must state that if I were to buy a camera I would choose from Nikon or Cannon ( & Mega pixels) The choice would be obvious because the price difference between Sony and these two brands is of at least 30 percent.


My aim for writing this blog is to tell people about Digital cameras. I started from a very basic post so that all those SONY Fans can research a little more and can understand that although SONY is a great brand, it is not the best is every field.
