Timeless Tips For Buying a Digital Camera
For most digital camera owners, I am sure you have gone through this; you consult friends, family, the internet, commercials, and finally pick the "perfect" camera for you.
You then go out and buy it.
Now, a few weeks later, you go back to the electronic store, and to your amazement, there is a newer and better camera out.
So now your camera, in your mind, is not "cool".
It's slow, it's "old", even though it is practically brand new.
It has happened to me, so do not be ashamed to admit it.
Now, this is why I am going to try and help you so you can buy a digital camera that you will not even consider switching for a long time.
Digital cameras are expensive, and it is important to not make a mistake when buying one.
In all honesty though, it is hard to completely avoid this.
There will always be better and better cameras being released into the market (similar to cars, cell phones, computers, etc...
).
Even if you research to the ends of the earth, your camera will become old eventually, when new models are released.
But just cause it is not the newest model does not mean it is a bad camera.
Not at all! If you feel like you are unhappy with the camera you own at the moment, go out and buy the best one you can find.
Best does not necessarily mean the priciest.
Pick something with the best mix of features.
Price does not always equal quality and performance.
For those who wait for the "newest camera" to come out, you are wasting your time.
Like I said, newer and newer models will come out.
You will never have the best camera for more than a couple of weeks, when something better is released.
When picking a camera, as mentioned before, do not just look at the price.
Actually, do not look at the price at all to start (some may disagree with this method, but it works for me).
Look at factors such as megapixels, focal length, speed, image quality (test it out if you can), battery length, and so on.
Now, this does not mean you will need the best of each of these categories.
Pick something that offers a variety of features which are decent.
If you pick something with all the best features, you're going to be spending $1000 and up.
You then go out and buy it.
