1. Determine what you need
- What type of photography will you be doing? (portraits, landscapes, macro, sports)
- 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.
- While Digital SLRs are getting more affordable they are not for everyone. They do however produce extremely professional photos! While a Compact point and shoot is great for a trip, many are even waterproof.
- 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).

Earlier this morning, I called the number you gave me and spoke with your technical support person (Matt). It was SO incredibly refreshing to speak to an actual person to explain the problem. What a world of difference that makes! Novel concept, I know ... Matt was very helpful (and patient and polite etc), and even called me back (which I didn't expect). Hopefully the problem will be taken care of soon, but in the meantime I wanted to pass along how much I appreciate your having a help line that is actually there to help you. (Funny, I know, but true ...) Again, thank you! Barb BarbMore Reviews
