Comparing Digital Camera Features
Steve Gargin
More people are able to afford digital cameras because their
prices are falling but the number of characteristics is rising
so it is important to be able to compare digital camera
features.
The first step in being able to compare digital camera features
is to decide what you want to get out of your camera. If you
compare digital camera prices you will see that for shooting
family snapshots you can get a good basic digital camera for
under $400, while a professional model is over $2,000. When you
compare digital camera features you need to know the extent of
the use you are going to get out of it.
It is essential when you compare digital camera options to
understand the issues of image resolution, which is measured in
megapixels. Basically, the more megapixels, the higher the
resolutions of the final image but you definitely need to
compare digital camera images with your actual requirements.
This is best done if you compare digital camera resolution with
the size of the images that you want to print and you will find
that a 1-mg camera can create a 3-by-5-inch (7.5 by 13 cm)
photo-quality print; a 2-mg camera will make a 5-by-7-inch (13
by 18 cm) print; a 3-mg camera will make an 8-by-10-inch (20 by
25 cm) print, and a 6-mg camera will make a 9-by-13-inch (23 by
33 cm) print.
One of the other points to consider when you compare digital
camera prices is to look at the complete package that is
offered. Some included extras to look for when you compare
digital camera packages are if the camera includes a cable for
your computer and if it comes with image-editing software that
works with your computer. If these are not included it is still
possible for you to buy them separately but you need to allow
for this when you compare digital camera prices. Another
important point to consider when you compare digital camera
options is to choose a camera with removable memory in addition
to built-in memory.
All of the cameras that you are considering when you compare
digital camera features should have an LCD screen for viewing
pictures, a built-in flash, a timer, and a time/date stamp on
even the most basic camera. You should also look to compare
digital camera packages that have optical zoom, not digital, if
you need a zoom capability and most midrange cameras should have
high-quality optical zoom lenses but it is still worth checking
to make sure.
