It is very difficult to keep up with modern technology unless you remain within your own sphere of interest. The thing is that we all have numerous interests and although much of technology overlaps, it is not always applied in exactly the same way.
This means that if your interest is in computers, you may be able to keep up with that, but you will also want a microwave and a camera and a personal organizer, but you might not have the time to stay abreast of the latest developments there too. Most people have a camera nowadays, but not because they are professional photographers.
So, how do you apply the knowledge that you have gained from one interest to a different, unrelated interest? Technology advances so rapidly, that we become frightened of purchasing anything hi-tech because we know that it will be surpassed within months of getting it home.
This beggars the question whether it is worth trying to be on the bow wave of technological evolution at all. If we do, are we not only playing a game, the rules of which were decided by the manufacturers? A game that we just can never win, because they deal the cards and one of their tactics is planned obsolescence.
We are told to remain ahead of the pack by being in possession of the best on the market; to have the latest model; the highest technology. The question to pose to ourselves is: do we truly need all; the power that we are buying. If we do not need it?
So what is important when purchasing a digital camera? The answer is that it has to fulfill your needs. So how do you make certain of that? The first thing to do is calculate what you need to use the camera for.
Most people just want to take good quality photos or their friends, family and holiday destinations and otherwise the camera remains in a draw at home for all but 400-500 hours a year.out of 8,760. That is merely 5-6% of the year. Here follows a few of the items to look out for:
Megapixels: this number denotes the quality of the photograph, because they are the number of dots that create the picture.
The higher the number the better the picture. Many cameras have seven megapixels, but photographs of this size take up a lot of memory and take a long time to email.
Lots of happy snappers turn the camera's capacity down to three, four or five megapixels, if they are only going to email their photos to their friends and family or publish them on social media sites. If that is all you are going to do, why purchase more?
Screen Size: opt for a size that you are able to see easily; big is not always worth paying for if you do not need it.
Zoom: the zoom on digital cameras is rarely used in day-to-day photography and digital zoom should not be used on board the camera at all anyway, because you can do that better with a computer program.
Memory Card: the larger the capacity of the card, the more expensive it is, but you only need a large card if your photographs are taken with many megapixels. The camera's on-board RAM will hold dozens or even hundreds of 'regular' low-res photographs.
The upshot of the question how to find the best digital camera, is to buy a camera that suits your needs.
