Comparing Digital Camera Prices

Digital cameras are becoming more and more affordable while improving in quality and complexity. People who used to only dream of owning a digital camera because of the excessive digital camera prices may now be able to afford much better cameras than they realize. In fact, digital cameras with 5 or 6-megapixels now can be bought at a price that’s equal to a 4-megapixel camera that came out less than a year ago.

Digital camera prices of $200-$300 are now common for good point-and-shoot digital cameras that come with an image resolution of up to 5 mega pixels and a 3X optical zoom lens. It’s important that you know what the minimum features to be expected for this kind of price. Digital cameras that are worth $200-$300 should have these features.

Shooting capability: 1.3 frames per second 10-20 scene modes A built-in flash lens openings from f2.8 to f4.8 optical viewfinder and an LCD of 1.5 to 2 inches An optical zoom lens with the same range as that of a 35-115mm lens Rechargeable batteries included shutter speeds of 4 seconds to 1/2000 second solid plastic or metal housing video clip capture at 320 by 240 resolution with audio

Digital camera prices will vary, and you should know what the most useful features are. Of course you want to take good pictures, but you don’t want to pay too high a price for it. However, your priority should be to assess which features are the most important to enable you to take the best pictures. The greater the number of mega pixels, the higher the price for the camera, but this is not a guarantee that you’ll get better pictures.

For $200-$300 digital cameras, you should look for the scene modes feature. The scene modes do not affect the price of the digital camera, but they will give you better pictures without having to adjust the camera settings manually. Majority of the better digital cameras that are within the price range have scene modes. Most cameras that are worth $200-$300 are compact and will fit in a jacket pocket.
