Tips on How to buy new or used Digital Cameras! Buying a digital camera isn't all about megapixels. A digital camera's megapixel count remains its most important spec--but it is by no means the only one. Start with pixels, but make sure to check a few other important numbers when considering a purchase. Battery life,Digital cameras quickly drain batteries--especially alkaline batteries. Megapixels, With more megapixels, you can print larger photos with better image quality. Exposure controls, allow you to customize exposure settings such as lens opening and shutter speed, which serious photographers will value. Focal range, Cameras with greater focal range can zoom out to fit more into a shot or zoom in to fill the frame with the subject. Optical zoom produces sharper images than digital zoom. Manual focus override, can be more accurate than automatic focus in some situations. Cameras with stepped focus can only be set to focus at a few predetermined distances. Storage capacity, How many photos you can store depends on the resolution at which you shoot them. But with most cameras, you'll almost certainly need to buy an extra card, so don't base your purchasing decision entirely on the starter card supplied with the camera.
