Buying guide

No matter how many MPs you have in your smartphone, if you want to click those special pictures, you still need a digital camera. You must bear in mind that megapixels are not all when it comes to the quality of photographs. With more advanced features than what you expect, a digital camera is bound to make your photographs more vibrant and life like. With options galore, it is indeed difficult to make up your mind and select a particular digital camera. But when you know what you need, it is easier to make a precise choice.

Choosing your Digital Camera

Find out about the types of digital cameras

First point – you need to consider all the different types of digital cameras and there are plenty of options. Let us look at these options here.

Digital compact cameras and entry level cameras are perfect for personal use. The photos can also be shared with others.

Smart digital cameras allow excellent photography and social sharing. The concept behind these cameras is somewhat like handheld devices.

Super zoom digital cameras have extended optical zoom for enhanced detailing during photography. These cameras vary largely in terms of models and prices.

Compact system digital cameras allow lens swapping depending on the kind of photography setting.

DSLR cameras are mostly used by professional photographers and these have interchangeable lenses, powerful zoom and other advanced features.

Bridge digital cameras bring together the benefits of compact cameras and DSLR cameras. These are large cameras but don’t allow you to change lenses.

Megapixel is not everything but it matters

While the number of megapixels is not the only point for you to consider in digital cameras, it still matters. The more the number of megapixels in your camera, the more is the number of pixels. A digital camera with higher count of megapixels allows you to click photos that can be enlarged without loss of clarity. The best digital camera may not be the one with the highest number of megapixels, but it will still have close to the highest number of megapixels that you find in these cameras.

Choose the camera lens according to your photography style

Depending on the type of photographs you click, you should consider the lens accordingly. If you are more into wide angle photography, you need a camera with less than 50mm lens. This lens or more will allow you to click telephotos where you can easily zoom in on your object and also take photos at close range. If you click different types of photos, it is best to buy a camera with interchangeable lens.

Get digital cameras with LCD screen for better viewing

If you think that the viewfinder in digital cameras is not large enough, look for those models where there is a large LCD screen. When you click photos using the camera, you will be able to see a larger image of the subject. Most of the cameras with LCD screens have the screens designed in such a way that they can be folded inside when the cameras are not in use. This allows for easy storage and carriage.

Some of the advanced features

Some of the advanced digital cameras allow you to choose different modes of shooting – panoramic, sepia, black & white and macro and so on. Some of the modern cameras also allow you to shoot special images like 3D images and animations. While this is an advanced feature, you may still want it if you are an avid photographer who loves to experiment with photos. Another advanced feature is in-camera editing – using this feature you can edit your photos in the camera before sharing them.

Use connectivity for sharing photos

Connectivity is an important point in the modern digital cameras. Many of the modern cameras allow you to connect using wires and wireless technology. You can use an HDMI cable to connect your camera with your TV and watch the images on the large screen. Wireless connectivity allows you to transfer your photos from your camera to other devices using Wi-Fi. The latest Eye-Fi technology allows you to transfer images without removing the microSD card.

Which digital cameras for which use?

Those who are in love with photography often opt for DSLR digital cameras. Some of the top DSLR digital cameras in Canada are Sony Alpha a6000, Nikon D750, Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 18-55mm Kit, Nikon D3200 and Canon EOS 7D Mark II.

While DSLR cameras can click great photographs, there are also SLR cameras that you may want to look at. Some of the top models are Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Nikon D3100, Canon EOS 60Da, Nikon D7000 / 18-105mm VR Kit Nikon D7000 / 18-105mm VR Kit and Canon EOS-1D X.

If you are into hobby photography, a compact digital camera would be an excellent choice for you. The models to consider include OLYMPUS digital camera TG-820 45m, Sony DSC W620, Canon PowerShot G1 X, Leica X2 and Panasonic Lumix FH6 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 5 Optical Zoom.

The best models in hybrid cameras are Nikon Coolpix P500, Nikon COOLPIX P510 and Fujifilm Finepix S2980 Digital Camera.
