Thinking of getting a DIGITAL CAMERA for yourself or someone else…
Personally, I always recommend buying the least expensive camera that suits our needs, because this technology is changing too rapidly to invest a lot of money - unless you are buying it for WORK...
For those of us over 40, there may be some basic things to look for...
• the larger the LED display panel in the back the better
• you may want to be sure it has a view finder (many don't); those of us who are older are used to using one
• most digital cameras offer digital stabilization, but be sure it does - great feature
• at this point, it should have a minimum of 7 megapixels (7MP or higher)
• zoom - the higher the better and I'm talking about OPTICAL zoom
(don't pay attention to the digital zoom, that's hype-and not relevant)...
• many of us who travel, want the flexibility of using standard batteries, such as AA, in a pinch versus having to recharge built in or non-standard batteries if ours run low
I hope this helps -when you buy your memory card - get at least a 2gb or 4gb and be sure to purchase a memory card reader which will allow you to read your memory card from any computer without downloading the camera software...
