Choosing a digital camera has taken on a whole new meaning recently because the digital camera has presented a whole new world of options for all of us. This article's purpose is to present some of the options with pros and cons to make it easier for the camera buyer to make an educated choice.
Your story may not be the same as mine, but prior to the digital era, I would put a roll of film into the camera to take pictures of our baby's first birthday. When he was 3 years old, I finally completed the roll and took it down to the local photo lab to have the pictures developed, only to discover that the roll had been exposed somehow and there were light spots on every print.
Times have changed. I can now take a photo and preview it instantly in order to make a decision about whether to reshoot or keep the picture just taken. That is really the feature that hooked me on digital photography. Since the day I purchased my first Casio 3-megapixel camera and realized I could take as many horrible pictures as my photographically challenged fingers could snap and not have to pay for a single print, I was hooked! I deleted many more pictures than I kept. But the key is that I take exponentially more photos than I did with a film camera, and even I get lucky every once in awhile. I now have literally thousands of images stored on 2 computers from 3 different cameras that I have owned over the past 5 years, and they have not cost me one cent that I didn't know the outcome of before I made the decision to print. It has been a totally liberating experience.
