Digital Compact Cameras
Digital compact cameras offer an incredibly popular and easy way to take photographs. The latest models boast specifications that rival many digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras
whilst remaining small enough to fit easily into a coat pocket or small bag.
A wide range of manufacturers make digitial compacts with prices having fallen dramatically in recent years.
Virtually all the manufacturers that make the more expensive dSLR cameras offer digital compact alternatives including Nikon, Canon, Olympus, and Sony. Additionally digital cameras are available from Samsung, Panasonic, FujiFilm, and Vivitar as well as many others.
How to Choose the Perfect Digital Compact Camera
Today top end digital compact cameras offer terrific image quality at high resolutions that rival the more expensive dSLR cameras. These cameras offer a stylish and affordable choice for getting started in photography whether you are a keen amateur or someone looking for a backup to your dSLR.
You don't have to spend a fortune however. While the top end compacts can be as expensive as the lower end dSLR's if you are a casual photographer most of the lower budget cameras will be more than adequate until you want to progress upwards.
For a decent camera, something like the Kodak Easyshare C813, expect to pay around £60 to £80 on the high street. You can get 8MP or higher with the automatic mode more than suitable for most pictures.
