What is the Best Digital Camera?

Answer:
Buying a digital camera can be an overwhelming
experience.  There are a dizzying number of options and features to consider.  Before you begin shopping, it is a good idea to decide on a budget and consider your anticipated use.

One of the first decisions to make is what type of camera you want.  Are you interested in a point and shoot camera or one with manual controls?  Do you need a weatherproof or waterproof model?  Do you want an SLR?  Answers to some of these questions will begin to narrow your options for the size of your new camera.

Try to keep your intended use and budget in mind as you look at the array of image capture options and features.  Are fast shooting speed and high resolution important for your intended use?  Will you need a large optical zoom or a wide angle lens?  Maybe you’ll need a low auto-focus shutter lag or benefit from image stabilization.  Will you use a video option or need an external flash?  Would you prefer a large LCD screen or an eye-level viewfinder?  Do you want a long battery life or AA batteries?  What type of memory and file format are you comfortable with?

There are several websites available to help you navigate the myriad of options and come closer to a final decision.  Happy shopping!
