Buyer advice for digital camera shoppers
20 Jun 2008
Advice has been offered this week for consumers looking to buy a new digital camera.
Citing PC World, Computer World reports that there have been a number of improvements in digital photography of late and adds that as resolutions and megapixel levels rise it can be hard to know where to look.
“Higher resolution, more sophisticated controls, and better technology all make taking great pictures easier than ever but buying a camera can still be a daunting experience,” it states.
However, the article adds that although megapixel count and resolution is an issue to bear in mind, size, weight, and design can be equally important.
It states that the more powerful the optical zoom lens the better and states that manual focus is something that can be useful.
Storage, power and an easy-to-use menu is key, the article said, and getting a model that has a range of modes and a decent-sized viewing screen is vital.
The Nikon Coolpix S51c has a three-inch LCD screen which has an anti-reflection coating.
