There are as many varieties of digital cameras as there are individual interests. There are lots of different sizes and brands as well. Even the worst amateur can take wonderful photos with the digital camera. Camera makers have made them very easy to use.
Digital cameras are now the norm with those that own cameras, although some still use film. Most have converted to digital format. Digital cameras can be found in devices that we use daily such as smart phones and laptops and now the iPad has a digital camera device.
Even though the digital camera that comes with these devices is an add on, the quality of the images still come out fairly well. Another cool feature of digital cameras, be it attached or not is most of them can be used as video recorders and capture video clips. The old brands like Canon, Kodak and Olympus are a few of the camera makers that now produce great quality digital cameras. My favorite being Nikon. Casio, Sony and Panasonic have there own brands as well.
Most of the cameras have the same basic features. They are all point and shot devices but some may have other features the catch your attention. The camera megapixels is one feature to look for. The MP's measure the quality. A pixel is a dot that makes up the picture. If you can, go with a camera with a MP of 5 or higher for a better quality image. Also, when you have more MP's, you can enlarge the image without sacrificing the image quality. Anything less then 5 megapixels decreases the quality of your image.
The downside of using a camera with a big megapixel number is, they consume a lot of memory.
When looking for a digital camera, also consider your zoom feature. The 2 most common zoom features are optical and digital. Many offer both features.
The kind of camera that you purchase will depend on what you want to get out of your photography. Many just want a day to day camera that can be used to capture those special moments and have fun with friends or share photos on their Facebook page. You can find a really great camera for less than $100 that will give you a great deal of flexibility and provide you with all of what you need to take cool photos whenever you get ready.
When shopping for your camera be sure to read the camera reviews and ask a lot of questions if you go into your local camera store. Don't let the sales person sell you something that you don't want nor need. There are a lot of cameras on the market and many are the same the difference being the camera maker name.
