First, the prospective buyer should decide for what purpose the purchase is made? If a person plans to engage in professional photography, take pictures of holidays, celebrations, then for this he needs a reflex camera that takes better pictures, but at the same time it is more difficult to operate. If there are no such goals, then you can purchase the so-called "soap dish", which is smaller in size and easier to handle.
Today, almost any "soap dish" more expensive than 3 thousand makes good pictures, so let's pay attention to this particular type of camera.
1. Size, dimensions. If you plan to wear camera with you constantly in the hope of seeing something interesting and making a valuable and rare shot, then buy a small, compact and lightweight "soap box", the sea of those can be found on store windows. On the other hand, the larger models have more functional settings and a larger zoom, which will be discussed below. Pay attention to the color of the camera. If you are constantly out in nature, at the sea, in the forest, then you should buy a model of a bright color, so as not to accidentally forget after leaving.
2. Zoom, it is also approximation-removal. Designed for shooting subjects at a distance that are difficult to get close to. In small, compact cameras, it is small - 3-5 times, while in larger models, it is possible to zoom in on an object up to 6-28 times. But these cameras are quite bulky, it is difficult to carry them with you everywhere.
3. Batteries. Cameras can work either from their own, "native" battery, or from AAA batteries. It is recommended to choose the latter in the event that you are an adherent of an active lifestyle and periodically find yourself in places where it is problematic to charge the battery (forest, mountains, etc.). A few pre-purchased packs of batteries will save you in a situation when the battery runs out. If you do not plan to travel, buy a camera with a “native” battery, everything is simple: you use it during the day and put it on charge in the evening. Everything is simple and inexpensive.
4. The amount of memory. Initially small in most cameras, it is recommended to purchase an optional removable memory card. Please note that SD memory cards are suitable for most cameras, but some manufacturers have their own format, are much more expensive and are not sold in all stores.
5. Screen. Any digital camera equipped with a screen showing the picture during shooting and already taken pictures in the photo view mode. Accordingly, the larger the screen, the better. The screen must also be bright so that the image can be seen even with the rays of the sun shining on it. Pay attention to the screen resolution, the detail of the picture depends on it.
6. Settings. There are automatic and manual. The former are intended for shooting ready-made preset scenes (landscape, portrait, etc.), the purpose of the latter is manual, more precise adjustment, shooting the way you want. The former are easier, the latter make the photo better.
7. Matrix. Its size determines how detailed and accurate the photograph will be. A larger sensor also provides better pictures. In fact, this is one of the most important parameters of a camera.
Above, we reviewed the most significant characteristics of digital cameras. We hope the article will be useful for people who are going to purchase this, of course, useful and necessary thing.
