Buying a digital camera can be overwhelming but important if you want your memories to last a lifetime! Here is a very quick guide to help with this decision.

1. Determine what you need

What type of photography will you be doing? (portraits, landscapes, macro, sports) 2. Megapixels are good and bad!

The more megapixels often equates to more noise in the picture. If you’re only printing images at a normal size then anything over 5 megapixels will be fine. If you start blowing your images up you might want to pay the extra money for the upper end of what’s on the market today. 3. DSLR or Point and Shoot / Compact Camera?

4. Optical Zoom is King

Not all ‘zooms’ are created equal. Digital zooms simply enlarge the pixels which makes it look more pixelated. If you’re looking for a zoom lens make sure it’s an optical zoom (most modern cameras have them of at least 3x in length – ie they’ll make your subject three times as big – with an increasing array of ‘super zooms’ coming onto the market at up to 12x Optical Zoom).Looking to buy a digital camera?

WOW! I am really happy with my purchase from CompSource. I was hesitant at first, because I only purchase products from the original manufacturer. I was in a crunch to find the HP adapter for my dual screens to be able to perform my job from home and getting it from HP would have been a long wait time since they had to order it. CompSource was able to get it to me in 2 business days even with me placing the order right at the cutoff time for express shipping. Thank you Compsource! The product was exactly what I was looking for since I already had the part number and it works most importantly being an original HP product. I will be back for my other computer needs in the future. Miss Mone
