how 2 choose a digital camera?

Answer 1

Try to check the pro and cons of different types of camera. Try to get one that has at least 3 megapixel. The higher the megapixel the better the picture will come out on the camera as well as to your computer when you download them. I hope this helps you out.

Name brand to choose is one's choice: I currently uses a Kodak but you can use Canon, Pentax and Fuji as well as Sony.

Answer 2

Morey000's answer is right on the money. First decide what you want to DO with the camera and (always) how much money you can spend and then start reading reviews at the sites he mentioned and begin narrowing things down. Once you have a few to choose from, come back here and ask for opinions if you can't decide.

Or... Do not reinvent the wheel. Look up above and enter "digital camera" in the "search for question" space and see hundreds of replies to similar questions.

Answer 3

1st- ask yourself what size camera you want. If you're looking for something small- that will narrow things down a bit.
Then- what zoom range you need.
What you'll be taking photos of? Landscapes benefit from wide angle, sports benefit from long telephoto (zoom).
Then-How much of a digital camera photo geek you want to become? Do you want a camera with a lot of controls? or a point and click.

for me- I look for one that is responsive. i.e. starts up quickly (less than 2 seconds) and focusses quickly (less than 0.3 sec).

there are a plethora of excellent products out there these days, and a very competitive market. You could go to BestBuy and just plink down $400 on whatever the salesperson recommends that you like, or, you could get caught up in sites like www.dpreview.com and browse through their reviews and forums until your head is dizzy with terms such as chromatic aberration, dynamic range, and real-time histograms.

have fun

oh- and as far as Doc wanting the Leica- it's an old brand name, who's cameras are now made by panasonic. but- panasonic makes some great cameras these days, and they use leica's lens technology. Canon, Panasonic, Fuji, Sony are some of the top right now. Nikon only if you're interested in a DSLR. Pentax and Olympus also have some excellent products.

Answer 4

I just went through this. Because I know the quality of the lenses, I decided on a Leica, Canon, or Leica. I researched models on Amazon.com seeing prices and features and comments from users. I finally bought a Canon S2 that was highly recommended by professionals. You may want something different.
