which digital camera is best for me?

When thinking of purchasing a digital camera it is easy to become confused when faced with the myriad choices available on the market today. The best way to face this decision is to ask yourself what features or functions of the digital camera are important to you.

Knowing what your needs are and what types of photographs you wish to take will narrow your choices down considerable. When you begin your search for a digital camera you may be surprised at the variety of cameras, not to mention manufacturers, which are available on the market today.

Some of the cameras on the market today include the AF SLR Series, Digital Compacts, Film Compacts, Direct Vision, etc. Cameras include features such as built in camcorders as well as cameras inside phones. It is amazing what you can find on the market today when looking for a digital camera?

You can find a lot of help through various websites which offer reviews and ratings of those cameras that are available but you won?t find too many reviews out there on Direct Vision Cams or a few other models so I want to focus my attention on them. Direct Vision Cams, manufactured by Leica, are great cameras that will meet nearly everyone?s needs. These cameras offer high quality pictures with very little noise.

Looking at a few 35mm, which is commonly utilized by photographers in different models, we will consider the Range Finders. This model or its like has a variety of features including the viewfinder, battery compartment, self-timer, rangefinder, rewind crank, rewind button, lens, PC socket, film speed dial, and so on.

The rangefinder is works to restore viewfinders center images overlaying in the camera. Self-timers are obviously handy for instructing the camera at what time is proper to go off. Some only have a few seconds to time a picture.

Several direct vision cameras offer hot-shoes, shutter speed dial, wind-on levers, frame counters, and shutter release buttons. You will find some of these cameras offer more options than others which are designed more for professional photographers.

Other varieties of cameras include the Mega-Pixel Camcorders, Large Formatting Cams, Instant Cams, Imaging Phones, and Hasselblad XPans 2 and so on. Please recognize that cameras which come included with a mobile phone are not necessarily the best cameras for photography however in most cases you are able to transfer them to your computer. Camera phones are great when you are on the road taking photos and want to put them on your computer quickly. Bluetooth phones are one of the most popular phones on the market today.

Another option is mega-pixel phone camcorders which are great if you want to create web pages or home movies. Unfortunately these produce lower quality videos which takes them out of the running for creating high productions. It is still quite hand for making movies and playing them back. Most are the size of an Ipod which is incredible when you think of the built in features.

Professional photographers will not automatically head for the instant cameras. Many are familiar with the old Polaroid camera which was, at one time, one of the most popular cameras on the market. Polaroid had several models which were used by professional photographers as there was no photo developing costs. This was the primary reason I used the Polaroid. Today Fuji has an Instax camera which has taken the place of Polaroid.

We can?t forget about Hasselblad which has a 35mm camera that is incredibly popular with professional photographers. This camera easily switches between standard and panorama modes. Hasselblad is one of those cameras that defies history as it puts you in mind of old technology with a modern flair. Hopefully you should have an indication of which cameras are out there and which might meet your needs.

What will you use your camera for? What are your plans for the photos? Will you want larger or smaller prints? Is it your desire to become a professional photographer or will you be happy to stay in the amateur arena?
