Getting Candid about Cameras.

The article offers tips on factors to be considered before buying a digital camera. In some cases, vendors run discounts for purchasing digital cameras in conjunction with other equipment, such as digital projectors, printers, and accessories. One should be sure to contact companies directly and ask what sort of promotions they have. Megapixels are important because they determine the size of prints and the image one can crop away and still produce a good print. If one is looking to take photos that will be printed and displayed, cameras offering five or six megapixels should afford the flexibility to print or crop photos of just about any size. If one is shooting photos that will appear mostly in digital environments, stick with three-to-four-megapixel models. Generally, manufacturers list three different kinds of zoom including optical, digital, and total. Digital zoom is not always a good thing because the more one zooms in on an image, the more one is compromising image quality.
