The Perfect Digital Camera Is Here
Would you know where to look, to get the top digital camera, at the best price? Most people don't. And if you did, would it be the same place tomorrow, or next week? Technology and the web are growing at such a rapid pace, that opportunities for consumers are changing every day. It is a great time to be a consumer, as long as you can keep up with the onslaught of information and opportunities. There is of course a very simple way to do just that.
Asking what your want your camera to do for you and how you plan to use it would be a far better question to consider before starting your digital camera search. Since digitals range in price these days from $100 to around $5000, price is really to vague a consideration to think about in the beginning. For the sake of discussion, though we could break digitals down by price category. This should at least give you a baseline to start from.
All camera manufacturers have been guilty of over hyping the latest and greatest technical features on their models for some time now. Some photography aficionados have even gone so far as to suggest that manufactures latest tech features have more to do with marketing timing, then true technical advancements.
Going for under $150, it comes with some advanced features like face recognition and image stabilization. For $20 or $30 dollars more, you could get the more compact Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital Elph. Less image quality, but substantially smaller and portable.
Anything in the $200 to $500 price range will get you much the same camera as the previously mentioned cameras, with a few improved features. Typically higher resolution LCD screens, better lenses, higher zoom factors, more manual control, and overall better image quality. Don't worry about megapixels, as the image quality of any camera over 5MP will be all but indistinguishable to the average photographer.
I prefer to stay one or two steps away from the bleeding edge. that way you get a proven and tested product, often at a considerable prices saving over the latest golly-gee whiz-bang features of the new models.
When all is said and done, and your enjoying all the great pictures you've taken over the years, the top digital camera is just the one that's captured all your favorite memories. Or, if it's the artist in you that drives your camera purchase, then then same rule applies.
If your looking in the over $1000 price category, then to be quite honest you don't need my help. The best digital camera prices for these cameras is really less of an issue. Anyone looking to spend this much money for a camera should let their own personal preferences be their guide. Camera functionality and image quality are far more important at this point.
