Which Digital Camera is Right for You?
Posted by Diane Zoellmer on April 22nd, 2008
I own more digital cameras than I care to admit and, since I’m a camera addict, I get asked by people all of the time which camera they should buy. My answer is always the same, “It depends…”
It really does depend on several factors. One of the first considerations is your budget. After that, there are several things you should ask yourself.
- How are you going to use the camera?
- Is size/weight/portability an issue?
- Do you want a point and shoot camera?
- Will you be taking action shots? kids/sports/animals?
- Do you want to take close-up photos?
- Will you be traveling outside the US taking pictures?
There are several web sites that can help you determine which camera might be a good one for you. One of my all-time favorites is Digital Photography Review. This site can help you compare cameras and look at brands of cameras. It also has reveiws of cameras as they appear on the market.
The REMC Association has a pdf on their web site to help you make decisions when purchasing several products, including digital cameras. Click on this link and then on Digital Cameras.
Another site to help you choose is A 9 Step Guide to Buying a Digital Camera.
