Are you planning to purchase a digital camera? Then you may need to consider several aspects while shopping for one. As the digital technology changes every other day, lots of models are hitting the market quite frequently, and that in fact makes the job still tougher for the customer. So one's choice, at the end of the day, boils down to a function of both budget and features. Here, in this article, we try to list few basic things one may find handy while on the look out for a digital camera.

While selecting a digital camera, one must take time to verify its Battery Life, Zoom Lens, Number of Megapixels, Exposure Control, and User Controls, and make sure that everything confirms to the highest standards.

A digital camera's performance is directly proportional to the efficiency of its battery. In other words, the quality and steady power supply offered by a digital camera battery has a big say in the eventual quality of pictures.

Zoom Lens, on the other hand, help one focus on the target effectively. Again, the final image depends heavily on the type of zoom the digital camera is fitted with. Digital cameras normally come with two types of zooms - optical and digital. Technically, digital zoom has the ability to digitally average and enlarge the image with the camera's microchip, and that may be the reason for its popularity. But if you are a fan of optical zoom, it will be better to go for one with 3x optical zoom.

The number of megapixels is another main aspect you need to check while purchasing a digital camera. Megapixel rating determines how much fine detail a digital camera can capture. The megapixel rates are available from two to eight megapixels. A camera with 2 megapixels is an ideal one for taking small snapshots. While if the digital camera is for professional use then you need one with five megapixels or more.

Exposure settings are very important aspects of a digital camera if you are using your camera for professional photography. If you are an advanced photographer, check for the cameras shutter speed, aperture, and other exposure settings.

User controls such as controls to set resolution, exposure, fix macro mode, and flash are also important in capturing fine images. While purchasing a digital camera, make sure that user controls are in easy reach for your fingers.

These are some basic things you need to check while purchasing a digital camera. It is also a good idea to try out the camera first in the store itself to make sure that it works well.

Can magnets effect my canon sd870is camera
By: Mark | 18-08-2008
I bought my first digital camera from Best Buy. A canon SD870 IS. They sold me a case with it that has a magnet in the leather flip stile lid. Now the LCD monitor has a smudge or bruise that lines up with the button size magnet. Can magnets harm the 3" lcd monitor, battery, or memory card? I returned to BestBuy for help, they said even though I puchased their bullet proof warranty, they couldn't send the camera in for repair because there was no serial # on the camera. This was news to me. Looking at another camera it looks as though the serial # is perhaps a decal and might not be embosed or engraved inti the bottom of the camera. Or possibly never had one in the first place. One of the geeksquad asked me if I still had the box. I replied "yes" . He segested that look there to see if it fell off. Thats all the help they had to give with the exception of giving me a phone number for Corporal Best Buy
