The problem with technology is that it doesn't stand still even for a minute so you can't get to grips with it before it has moved on and digital cameras functions are a prime example,many of these functions the average buyer has either no need for or just doesn't understand. If you were to buy a digital camera tomorrow, what functions would you want to see it have as standard? If this is your first camera then you must be honest with yourself if you have no idea what functions you would want your camera to have.
Next you need to think carefully about where and when you will use it. The financial outlay is always an important aspect even if you only want a basic model. Some people like to manipulate the images on their computer but this is only possible with more modern home computers.You may want to consider buying your camera as part of a new computer system which would probably include all the software and a printer as well. Editing software is already included when you buy digital camera but other devices aren't.
While many home printers are fine for general printing, you will need a special printer to carry out photo printing as well as special ink cartridges. The megapixel resolution of the camera will ideally need to be adjusted as high as it will go if you want to produce decent size images. Digital cameras need memory cards for picture storage, The larger megapixel models require cards with more space and fortunately these are now available with up to 32 gigabytes of storage,most users can happily use 1 or 2 gigabyte cards to store hundreds of images.
How it feels in your hands is also important and will determine how often you use it. Consider where the buttons are located and how they are spaced out and see if you feel comfortable using the viewfinder. If you use your digital camera a great deal then the power source is important so try to use rechargeable types,they may cost a little more initially but can be charged 1,000 times so are very cost effective. The more up to date digital cameras are complemented with a decent size LCD screen,this allows you to frame the image better and you can also preview the pictures you take.
the quicker it will drain the batteries. If you can, when you buy your chosen model, get one with the best range optical zoom you can afford because it is one of the most used and useful functions. Digital zoom only cameras should really be avoided as pictures using a digital only zoom are usually less clear. If you have any sort of visual impairment then buying a model with a diopter adjustment can be a real benefit but this does not apply to screen only digital equipment. I hope this information has helped you understand a few of the basic expressions and topics that will help you buy a digital camera.
