Never before, were camera manufacturers able to offer so many new must have features in their cameras every year, thanks to the inclusion of a few grams worth of silicon chips inside their cameras. It used to be that convincing photographers they needed a new interchangeable lens for the oh-so-rare lighting situation every year.
If you’re going to use it at the beach, it should be sand and splash proof. If you want to take photos at parties, inside, during races, you will need something else in each case. Are you going to need a telephoto lens or a wide angle? Do you need advanced photos or just point and shoot?
When digital cameras were first launched, the number of megapixels were an important factor, but these days all digital cameras come with plenty of resolution. A long time ago the best digital cameras available had only 2 megapixels of resolution, but these days even the basic models can have 6 megapixels. This many megapixels can easily get you a photo on an A3 print. If you want to send your photos by email or upload them on sites, you don’t really need large resolutions from your camera.
What you need is a camera that has a good optical zoom. Don’t choose just any type of zoom though. You should go with optical zoom and ignore the digital zoom value. Digital zoom uses software to enhance the photo, so the end result is a photo with poor quality.
For this type of photos you shouldn’t use the digital zoom, as you will lose some of the photo quality. In the case of wide photos, cropping them can also result in losing some of the resolution.
Getting the perfect camera, is never an easy thing, especially with the way digital technology is constantly changing. Fortunately, there are plenty of helpful websites online, that can narrow down your search and help you find the camera with all the features important to you.
