By Chris Campbell

Before you think about buying a camera, you should know how to buy a digital camera. You should look at many different cameras in your price range and use a checklist to record the specifications. After you have all the information for different cameras, you can then compare the specifications to narrow down your options. It is always important to review as many cameras as possible to see which one has everything you need to take clear and colorful pictures. The megapixels are the first thing you should consider, and then consider the zoom for optical and digital.

Knowing how to buy a digital camera is important. You want to make sure the camera has image stabilizer. This feature will help with clear images even if you have a tendency to shake a bit when trying to take the picture. The next thing to look for in a camera is the shoot modes. It is always nice to be able to select different modes when shooting different subjects. The flash is also important. The main concern with a digital camera is also the internal memory and memory card. You want to be able to hold as many pictures on the memory card without uploading to the computer.

When you are thinking about how to buy a digital camera, consider the battery drain as well. You want a camera that does not drain the battery quickly. You should check to see how many images you could take on one set of batteries. Make sure the camera has a good battery or can use rechargeable batteries. Once you have all the information you need, you should be able to buy the best camera for your needs. Take some time before buying any digital camera and check reviews to see what other users have to say about the camera.

Good camera prices, and good digital cameras, don't always find themselves on the same shelf. There are however deals out there for the savvy consumer, who knows where to look, and when to buy.

Digital Photo Frames

By Olly Fallon

You may have heard of Digital Photo Frames. They are the new craze that has been hitting the market within the last year or so.

Since digital cameras first jumped onto the scene people have been hit by a dilemma - Everyone loves photos but they simply are not as enjoyable when sat at a computer screen. Where you used to pass around your family photo album for all to see, you now have to get everyone gathered round a small screen to enjoy them. This means that more often than not people just didn't bother showing them.

Since then there are companies that will print your photos out to look like original photos. This is a service used by some but generally, due to the ease of putting them on a PC people again do not bother. Sure there are printers that can print photos, but you need special paper and it requires a lot of ink. Mostly this is a very expensive way of doing things.

Here is where the digital photo frames come into play. These devices look like your standard photo frames seen dotted around the home. There is a big difference however, these digital photo frames do not display a paper photo - they display your digital photos directly from your memory card or on board memory. How is this done?

Well as we know, flat panel TFT monitors, LCD televisions and plasma screens have become more and more popular as well as more affordable in recent years. This has led to a boom in this technology. A digital photo frame utilises this technology by installing a tft screen into the photo frame shell. Once powered up the screen can display your photo in the best resolutions as it if was a real photo - what's more often the images are much sharper than a print.

The great thing about these devices is that you are not limited to showing one photo. You can set the frame to display a whole album of photos, one after the other, at intervals that suit you. You can choose frames the size of a standard photo right up to huge 12 inch frames and beyond.

Some digital photo frames will come with on board memory, others will require you to insert your memory card. Some will have effects such as sepia and negative and others will fade in and out your photos. Some come with a built in battery which is great for wire free viewing!
