Should I buy a camera now?

Ely C

I have been considering purchasing a camera for some time now and have set my eyes on one from Radioshack. Its got everything I want, Its affordable ($69), everything I need and the reviews are good. However I have been reading the news and I heard that cameras may be going down in price due to there recent popularity lacking because of phones coming with cameras. So should I hold on to my money a little while longer or is right now a good time to buy one?

Buying digital camera ?

i want to buy a new digital camera (not dlsr camera). what other things should i consider apart from megapixel of camera?

Answer
Hi, here are a few of the key features you need to look for in a modern camera:

â¢price â a rally good digital SLR camera usually goes for $625 - $699 but you can get much cheaper ones but in this price range they will last you for life
â¢flip-out screen not a must but some cameras have these nowadays but when flipped out it's susceptible to easily being broken off!!
â¢medium to high resolution â a camera with this feature takes wonderfully crisp and clear images as long as you get the settings right
â¢does it take stills and HD videos?

Does the camera also have:
â¢multiple exposure for different light levels (eg day and night)
â¢continuous shots i.e. multiple frames per second for action shots eg fast moving sports cars, etc
â¢self timer for taking a picture with you in it!
â¢stabilizer to avoid blurred images
â¢touch screen controls

You also need to read some independent reviews and some reviews which have been written by the actual owners of the camera you decide to buy to get a good idea of what you are buying and to make sure it's right for you.

Also, checkout the full list of all the camera's features to ensure it has everything you want â the above is only a very short list of some key essentials.

My personal recommendation to you would be the Canon Rebel T4i (also known as the Canon EOS 650D). It's a great camera for someone such as yourself who is new to photography and cameras.

It has the power and quality of a professional digital SLR camera but without the complexity if you set it to automatic and use it as a point and shoot camera.

Good luck with your camera hunting.

How do I know which megapixel camera to get? A 10 or an 8?

Crystal

I've been reading reviews on some cameras and some people say just b/c a camera megapixel setting is higher doesn't mean you'll get a better picture. Is this true? I notice that some 8 megapixel cameras get really good reviews and are cheaper than the 10 megapixel cameras. The 10 megapixel cameras get really good reviews too, but are more expensive. How do I know what camera to buy?

Answer
Pay no attention to the megapixels. Every modern camera has more than enough for anything you would want to do. In fact to many megapixels on a tiny sensor can be worse.

The biggest determiner of image quality would be the optics (lens). On point and shoot cameras I would go for the one with the most zoom. With an SLR you should get the best lens you can afford.

Next would be the analog to digital converter (the inner workings of the camera). This is how the camera takes what it sees and converts it to a digital image.

Next would be the sensor size. Point and shoot cameras have tiny sensors. SLR's have much larger sensors. As much as 15 times larger. This is why a 6mp DSLR will take a far superior photo than a 12mp point and shoot.

Finally would be the amount of mega pixels. While technically speaking the more mp the larger and more detailed you can blow up a picture. The problem comes in the size of the pixels not in how many there are. Tiny pixels generate more heat on the sensor. More heat equals more noise or grainyness to your pictures.

So I would encourage you to look at all the other features of the camera. The one that has the features you want is the camera you should get.
