When it comes to choosing a digital camera there are a number of things that you need to consider in order to buy the right digital camera for you.
A common misconception is that pixels determine the quality of the image produced. In actual fact the pixels merely determine the size of the image produced and it is the quality of the pixels, the lens and the processor inside the digital camera that give you the quality. For example a 3MP digital camera can produce an image that can be printed to a size of 7"x5" whereas a 5MP digital camera can produce an image that can be printed to a size of 10"x8" so it is important that the first decision you make is what size prints you want to produce from your digital camera.
Another important factor to consider with Digital Cameras is the type of zoom the digital camera has. You will often find on digital camera specification a figure, usually followed by and x, for optical zoom and then digital zoom. The most important figure to look at is that for the optical zoom. The higher this figure the closer you can get to a subject by using the zoom function on the digital camera. The digital zoom merely cuts away the edge of the image as it is on the screen and enlarges the section in the middle thus reducing the quality of the final print. A standard compact digital camera usually has about a 3x optical zoom which is great for general shots of holidays, parties etc. but if your needs are more specialised e.g. You are keen on photographing animals and birds from a long distance away, you will need to look at digital cameras with a 6x or even a 10x optical zoom.
