Cheap Digital Camera

Best Cheap Digital Camera

Executive Summary by Candis Reade

With technology moving at its present rate, it is very difficult to say which is the best cheap digital camera. The best camera is the camera that is the most suitable for your needs. There is not one particular company which specialises in great quality low priced cameras. There are not only some excellent digital cameras on the market, but also some digital SLR cameras which are now very reasonably priced. The top of the range digital SLR cameras are often used by professional photographers as they combine the advantages of both digital and analogue technology. The SLR models which are aimed at the budget market at still extremely good quality and retail for a little more than the standard digital models but are often well worth the extra investment.

One company who seem to consistently produce a range of high quality yet reasonably priced products is Panasonic. Their Lumix range could be argued to include the best cheap digital camera. The DMCFX35 is a great camera which is compact, robust and gives great picture quality. This product is by no means the ultimate in low priced cameras. Sometimes you find that you pay extra for a more compact camera although, as time goes by, digital cameras in general are getting smaller and smaller. Unless you are planning to enlarge your pictures to any great degree, then 2 or 3 megapixels may well be plenty. The best cheap digital camera in this case will probably be quite reasonably priced as they tend to go up in price with the increase of megapixels.

Cheap Digital Camera - Don't Buy Too Many Mega Pixels

Digital cameras keep getting cheaper every day. If you are looking for a cheap digital camera, and you buy one with too many megapixels you end up paying more for camera you didn't need. Now, it's true that a camera today can come with seven or eight megapixels and cost you much less than a camera that had two or three megapixels five years ago, but in the end doesn't make sense to pay the same amount evenly getting more megapixels?

How many megapixels you need really depends on what you going to do with the camera. For the average user, of the most megapixels you really need is 3.1. Now, 3.1 megapixels came on cameras almost years ago, and now some cell phones actually come with three or 3.1 megapixels. If you are absolutely determined to spend more money on the camera, it is better to spend the money and make sure you get a camera that has a better lens. But , if you're going to use a point and shoot camera, don't waste your money. Ask yourself this question... How long did I actually own the last camera that I had? (By Sharon De Jesus)
