Availability of vast range of Digital cameras is sufficient to bewilder any potential customer. Features offered in a digital Camera have also increased manifold and that makes it very complicated for a user to decide on a single camera. Quite often, buyers have been found to purchase a digital camera just on the basis of features offered without realising their own specific needs. Impulsive purchase can have a negative effect later on. Buyers are recommended to consider all the factors before purchasing a digital camera. Point to remember here is, cameras are pretty expensive and hence it is advisable to look for one that offers you best value of money.

First and foremost, think carefully about the usage before deciding on a certain brand. You will also need to consider how frequently you will use it and types of usage. If it’s for regular use that you will be taking around most of the times then better get a compact or subcompact camera. Such cameras are easier to carry and handle. Having a bulky SLR will be inconvenient. But if have a keen interest in photography and want to have quality pictures with various photography techniques then go for SLR.
