The Joys Of Your Next Digital Camera
Picking a digital camera brand is something that comes down to what the individual needs the camera for. What are the person's goals with the camera? Personal use or professional use? These are just a few of the many questions one should ask them self before picking the brand they feel is best for their needs. Generally, there area few brands that tend to dominate the digital camera industry.
Firstly there is Canon, usually the cameras with the highest technology. Secondly there is Kodak, which is known for a great balance and a very easy to use interface. Then there is Sony, which most people claim is quite similar to Canon, and is basically an alternative. Lastly, Olympus has quite a few good cameras, and is known for having unique features that many other cameras do not have.
When picking a digital camera, one should know that each camera falls into a certain category. These categories include ultra compact, compact, creative compact, SLR-like, and SLR.
Before jumping to the conclusion that your digital camera is broken, you should do a few things. You should check if the battery on your camera is low, because this will cause a camera to not function properly.
Generally more expensive, but is good for those who enjoy playing around with photos. SLR-like are a bit bigger, very easy to control (bigger buttons), and are usually good for those taking pictures in places with little light. Lastly, SLR are the largest cameras. They tend to offer the best quality of picture, best pictures in areas with little light, and best overall kind of camera.
If your still intent on buying a PowerShot A460, here's a couple other considerations to keep in mind: Flash recharge time is excruciatingly slow. The zoom control buttons are shared with other functions. Movie are shot at 10 fps VGA or 30fps at QVGA. A bit too big to fit in your pants.
If you are looking for something SLR, or SLR-like, look into Olympus. Picking a brand is often a choice of preference, but do not be fooled by just the brand name of a camera.
