Digital Cameras

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?

I am a loyal Amazon customer, however, I found a projector here on CompSource for significantly cheaper than on Amazon (or anywhere else online). I chose CompSource (over another online retailer, who had the projector also at the same price) because CompSource had an option to expedite my order. I ordered the projector Friday at 11 a.m. and received it on Tuesday, using the free shipping offer. Almost every other online retailer with a free shipping option usually takes 5 to 10 business days. (Other retailers also almost always wait until Monday to ship ordered received on a Friday.) If you have a big order and want it fast and cheap, use CompSource. mpeterson
