  1. <p>1. Determine what you need <br /> Most people get sucked while buying cameras because they goes beyond what they really need. Some questions to ask yourself before you go shopping:</p>

    <ol >

    <li>What do you need the camera for?</li>

    <li> What type of photography will you be doing? (portraits, landscapes, macro, sports)</li>

    <li> What conditions will you be largely photographing in? (indoors, outdoors, low light, bright light)</li>

    <li> Will you largely stay in auto mode or do you want to learn the art of photography?</li>

    <li> What experience level do you have with cameras?</li>

    <li> What type of features are you looking for? (long zoom, image stabilization, large LCD display etc)</li>

    <li> How important is size and portability to you?</li>

    <li> What is your budget?</li>

    </ol>

    <p><br /> Ask yourself these questions before you go to buy a camera and you’ll be in a much better position to make a decision <br /> <br /> 2. Megapixels are NOT everything <br /> <br /> One of the features that you’ll see used to sell digital cameras is how many megapixels a digital camera has. <br /> One of the main questions to ask when it comes to megapixels is ‘Will you be printing shots’? If so - how large will you be going with them? If you’re only printing images at a normal size then anything over 4 or so megapixels will be fine.<br /> <br /> 3. Keep in mind the ‘extras’ <br /> <br /> you need to make as there are a variety of other extras that you might want (or need) to fork out for including:</p>

    <ul>

    <li>Camera Case</li>

    <li> Memory Cards</li>

    <li> Spare Batteries/Recharger</li>

    <li> Lenses (if you are getting a DSLR)</li>

    <li> Filters (and other lens attachments)</li>

    <li> Tripods/Monopods</li>

    <li> External Flashes</li>

    <li> Reflectors</li>

    </ul>

    <p><br /> 4.DSLR or Point and Shoot <br /> <br /> While digital SLRs are getting more affordable they are not for everyone. Keep in mind that they are usually bigger, heavier, harder to keep clean (if you’re changing lenses) and can be more complicated to operate than point and shoot. Of course there are some upsides also. <br /> <br /> 5.Optical Zooms <br /> <br /> When you’re looking at different models of digital cameras you’ll often hear their zooms talked about in two ways. Firstly there’s the ‘optical zoom’ and then there’s the ‘digital zoom’.<br /> <br /> I would highly recommend that you only take into consideration the ‘optical zoom’ when making a decision about which camera to buy. Digital zooms simply enlarge the pixels in your shot which does make your subject look bigger, but it also makes it look more pixelated and your picture ‘noisier’ (like when you go up close to your TV).<br /> <br /> If you’re looking for a zoom lens make sure it’s an optical zoom (most modern cameras have them of at least 3x in length - ie they’ll make your subject three times as big - with an increasing array of ’super zooms’ coming onto the market at up to 12x Optical Zoom). <br /> <br /> 6.Read reviews <br /> <br /> Before buying a digital camera take the time to do a little research. Don’t JUST rely upon the advice of the helpful sales person (who may or may not know anything about cameras and who may or may not have sales incentives for the camera they are recommending).<br /> <br /> Read some reviews in digital camera magazines or online to help you narrow down the field. There are some great websites around that give expert and user reviews on virtually every camera on the market - use this wonderful and free resource.</p>
