Digital camera technology moves forward so quickly these days that it often alienates its potential customers. For someone who is dedicated then they may spend quite some time researching consumer reports to find the best digital camera. Once the search is over it is time to gather up your savings for the camera of your dreams; and that would be 10 mega-pixel, 10 times optical zoom need to know more well, get a camera with a screen which is two and a half inches wide.

By the time we actually go to the mall armed with our life savings, we pass by a new display with an all new model that has even more mega pixels, and larger expandable memory, with built it microphone and video playback with stereo sound and 22 scenic modes.

Suddenly you are frustrated again as you learn that because you want the best digital camera, it is going to cost you considerably more than you thought. The best digital camera is now going to cost us considerably more and being new there aren't any discounts to be had. If you are new to digital cameras and photography the tips below might be useful and point you in the right direction. One of the most important features of an ordinary model to make it into the best category is its mega pixel property.

If you are looking to print your photos then the more pixels you have the greater the image definition will be. Color depth and the ability to enlarge the image sometimes up to and beyond poster size are the two main reasons for higher megapixel cameras.

The advantage of larger LCD screens on the cameras means you have more control over the composition of the finished image and it is much easier to see the shots you have taken afterwards. Making adjustments to the photo you have just taken is just one of the many functions now incorporated into good digital cameras helped by having a big LCD screen.

The only downside to this great feature is it uses more battery power so always keep a fresh set with you at all times if you don't want to be caught out. A digital camera with an optical zoom facility is the one to try for and a digital zoom only camera should be avoided if you want clear, well defined images.

However, the lower price range cameras rarely come with an optical zoom and where fitted, optical zooms range between 3x to 12x power. These cameras use a memory card to store the images on but there are a variety of types, so be careful when buying one for your model.

Memory cards are used in all sorts of electronic gadgets and you may already have heard of the main ones: Sony's Memory Stick, compact Flash, Secure Digital and XD cards for example. Try to obtain the largest memory you can for your camera and your budget.

For example, for the price of a 64mb card a couple of years ago you can probably now buy a 1 gigabyte and now some memory cards can go up to 16 gigabytes.

Remember, the camera must suit the type of person you are as much as your wallet as there is no point having the best digital camera if you do not use it. If you enjoy taking shots with your new toy and use it regularly then that is all you can ask from a camera isn't it?
