Tips For Buying Digital Camera

The longer, we increasingly realize that our needs will be documenting a very important moment. With digital cameras, we will be more easy to realize these desires. However, before buying a digital camera, there are a few tips that you can rely on:

Customize purposes Megapixel
Many advertisements are exposing the megapixels, but also many of us do not understand as much as what we need megapixels. Typically, the greater the megapixels of a camera, its price will also be more expensive, but for picture quality, large megapixel does not guarantee good quality.

A digital camera with 2 megapixels is enough for daily photos and enough to be viewed on a computer screen and printed up to size 6R. If you plan to print at larger sizes, required at least 3 megapixels.

Furthermore, if you still want to print larger, the greater the megapixel is you need. But if forced, a small camera with a megapixel still be able to print on large paper sizes, but sometimes the results will look blurry.

Note the battery and charger
If your camera uses a lithium battery, its use does not require too much attention, quite charged and wear, if worn finish, please be in charge again. Bebeberapa camera uses AA battery type. For this type, we may choose to use alkaline batteries, or battery which can be refilled.

We always recommend every user to use a rechargeable battery type than other types of alkaline, rechargeable battery price is slightly more expensive than alkaline, but his ability is used several times (can be recharged up to 500x normal), then the price of this battery will be much cheaper . Detailed explanation of this battery, can be found in other articles on this site. But please be careful not to buy AA rechargeable battery types are false, because now many in the market.

Optical Zoom (and Digital Zoom)
Optical magnification of the image (this is different from digital zoom). We try to get a camera with at least 2x optical zoom. Most digital cameras have optical zoom capabilities, and this is very useful for our purposes mengabil image for a little distance away from where we are.

Do not be fooled by the digital zoom, an average of all digital cameras have digital zoom facility, but the enlarged with digital zoom will result in the images we are so broken and unclear. We recommend that if you do not have, try to always avoid the use of digital zoom. Digital zoom can also be done with software on a PC.

Support facilities for low-light
In bright light conditions that do not usually have trouble getting the camera focus before we shoot the object. Therefore, some digital cameras are equipped with lights for help (many forms) that serve to help capture photos in low light places. This is especially important on taking photos indoors.

Note his Memory Storage
Some cameras have internal memory in it, but usually not very large capacity. Therefore, we must ensure that our digital camera is equipped with ports for external memory, so that we can provide additional memory in accordance * with our needs.

There are various types of memory that can be used in digital cameras, types and shapes are usually tailored to the type of digital camera. The price varies, but the greater capacity, then the price will be more expensive as well. Internal memory available on a digital camera if you can ignore the digital camera does not have such facilities.

Try the camera before buying
The digital camera is almost the same as other digital media, usually equipped with a menu and control buttons to suit our purposes. Some amera have a command that is easily understood than other types.

Comparison easy or hard you can conclude if you've tried it. Also note the time delay from the start we press the shoot button until the finished image was taken (shutter lag), there are certain cameras delaynya very long, but it also affects the conditions of space and light where we tried the camera.

Also try zoomnya lens (optical zoom), whether it can be used easily and quickly. Know also how long it will be seen from the start turn on the camera until the camera is ready for use. Do not forget to try the LCD and viewfinder.

Find out as much information
There are good you know in advance the capabilities, specifications, and the lack of camera that you crush to buy it. Ask the experts, or people who have been using will greatly help us to determine whether the camera is worth to buy.

Some websites on the internet provides many reviews about digital cameras, ranging from global to review until the review as detailed as-details. Place a discussion on the Internet is also highly recommended to be used as a reference before buying a digital camera.

Additional features
Many digital cameras are equipped with additional features, one that always there is the ability to record moving images (video). In digital cameras, this feature only as an additional course and his ability is very limited.

Hope you do not specify the decision to buy a digital camera from the camera's ability to record video. Video recordings from a digital camera will not be maximum, resulting in a digital camera designed for a maximum still image. If you intend to record more video, should be considered to buy a camcorder or similar device that is designed to record video.

Consider buying a card reader
Card reader is an additional tool that is used to read memory cards in digital cameras. By the time we bought a digital camera, would have included cable and driver for transfer / transfer photos from camera to computer.

But if we use a device called a card reader, then we would save time to transfer from camera to computer and be done with a very easy way, other than that if we use a card reader, then we do not need the camera is turned on (on) and finally we also we can save battery life.
