There are so many digital cameras currently on the market with more being introduced weekly. Which one is the right for you? How does one make the decision of which digital camera to choose?
1. Look for a brand name when starting your search. Canon currently has about 80% of the market, and Nikon has about 10%; all other brands comprise the other 10%. Name brand cameras have been around for a while, have market share and access to technology. The major companies also have more money to research and improve their various models over time.
2. Buy the camera with the highest resolution you can afford.
3. Buy a camera with large capacity Micro Card you can afford. Large capacity Micro Card means the camera can store more pictures, so you won't need to download or erase them as often.
4. Compare additional features you might want: interchangeable lenses, steady-shot, burst mode, auto exposure, variable shutter speeds, manual focus and self-timer.
5. Look for additional features you might need, such as USB (to connect the camera to the appropriate port on your computer), an AC adapter or video-out connections for outputting to a television.
