Every few months, if not more frequently, a new series of digital cameras are introduced to the market, and poorly informed or undecided buyer is forced to make a tough decision when selecting among the huge range of models. With the good buying options that we will stress out in this article, we hope you will select one for its objective features instead of relying only on sales pitch from manufacturers.
Most stores, both online and brick-and-mortar, emphasize on advertising megapixels as the main factor. This is merely a marketing technique and is not always true. We will explain why it’s only that! The picture made with a digital camera is constituted of a lot of points named pixels. The more pixels that photo is created of, the more details it can present. That means that the more megapixels a camera delivers, the more you can zoom into the image, or print in a large comfortable size, before it becomes cloudy and unclear. Imagine, for example, of a 10×10 inch mosaic and suppose filling it up with 2×2, 1×1 and 0.1×0.1 inch picas the more pieces you use, the better the picture will be.
Since the price of the digital camera rises with the amount of megapixels, you should first analyze for what you will use the digital camera for. If you will mainly use it to make shots for your blog or will not likely print pictures larger than a 5×7 there is no ground why you should go for something higher than a 4.0 megapixel camera. Save your money for other features and add-on rather than of investing in megapixels you will never use.
But, the main gain you would get if you chose on spending more for a higher resolution camera is cropping: a 9×12 photo taken at 5.0 MP can be resized to 8×10 or 5×7 without any problems.
Most, if not all new digital cameras have a zoom feature. This feature can be particularly useful when taking a picture of something that is too far away and you have no possibility to get near the subject, or you want to frame a portrait without taking much of the distracting surrounding. Optical zoom option is the real magnifying characteristic, the camera magnifies the picture with an assembly of lenses before the image gets to the image sensor on the other hand the digital zoom enlarges the photo that is already saved in the camera.
Be certain you understood the camera’s technical specifications well. The total zoom is measured by multiplying the digital and optical zoom numbers. Be certain that the optical zoom meets your needs and don’t rely on digital zoom at all, you can achieve its very same effect with any photo processing software package.
We recommend you check out Canon SD880IS. On the other hand if Canon SD880IS is too expensive for you go for Canon SD1100IS.
