So, what’s your budget for a digital camera? That’s one of the first questions a salesman will ask, when they catch you skulking around their shop trying to inconspicuously check out their lineup of digital cameras.

Amidst all the marketing propaganda and technical confusion there are a few simple things to consider. Any good salesman will be sure to point them out. Any guesses yet? When considering which digital compare is best for you, be sure to keep the following in mind.

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.

Any camera with more than 5 or 6 megapixels will be more than adequate for the average (and higher) photographer these days. Compound that, with the fact it’s virtually impossible to buy a new digital camera with less than 5 megapixels and it becomes a non factor in your purchase decision.

The number one consideration when comparing digital cameras, is your own skills and desires as a photographer. What do you value most? If it’s ease of use, portability, and reliability then you probably want to be looking at the ultra compact lineup of digitals.

This class of camera take some pretty good images, but are easy to take along just about anywhere, and even easier to use. They have minimal camera settings to fiddle with, and don’t mind sharing the bottom of your backpack with whatever paraphernalia you have stashed there. Cameras like the Olympus Stylus 790SW would serve you well.

If image quality, good control layout, and some manual adjusting is more your priority, then have a look a the compact class. Cameras like the Canon PowerShot A570IS would fit the bill here. They’re slightly larger than an ultra compact, but come equipped with a better zoom lens, and more control over your picture taking process.

Battery life is often better, as rechargeable battery packs is an option with this group of cameras. High resolution LCD and optical viewfinders are often both available with these cameras. It’s good to have both options for framing pictures.

There is an abundance of choice with digital cameras these days, and generally that’s good. I’d say any of the top ten rated cameras in your price budget will keep you happy.

The final important factor to consider when you compare digital cameras is the hands on test. Try the camera out before you buy it. Do the button controls and menus seem easy and intuitive to navigate? Does the weight of the camera feel good in your hands. Can you take pictures without leaving fingerprints all over the LCD screen? Is the LCD screen easy and clear to see (both inside and outdoors)? With all these comparison points in mind your sure to make good choices about the camera best suited for your purposes.
