U r reading this so I can take it for granted that u will browse through the net through all sites for the best product bec u pay u get it weather pob or trouble
it is the first best thing u should do.
here im going to talk about some basic requrements
- battery life
2.screen
3.resolution
- ease of operation
going from bottom to top
ease of operation: if at all u ever had any experience with any digital camera and if ufeel it s ok then go for it or else if u want a better experience
go for menus: using menus is time taking but EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE by any one
using buttons is fast but u have to get used to it
i suggest go for the menu
resolution: this is the main thing that every one talks
the higher the resolution number printed on the camera the more the pricece the better the quality. I too agree with that
but what to do with so much clarity and resolution like 10mp
basically printing a 2mp camera print out is fine sufficient untill and unless u prepare to print large posters
or if u say clarity in ur pc the whole pictute cant be displayed on ur screen with is exact resolution size( im not talking abou those who use xtra large 21`` monitors)
so it has to be shrinkend and it looks nice and commin to mail they are lot more sufficient
so starting from 2mp people can choose any resolution they like
screen: many people feel that their screen on the cam I very small compared to the new ones, big is good , but I hope that u will not store the photo on the cam and look at it when u wanr u would rather print it or save in ur computer or in a cd to have a big view in tv
small is also ok, but big screeen looks like big B
battery life : now here comes the main part. what is agun with out bullets, I used the word bullets because to use my previous camera ie hp635 I used to carry 6 sets of batteries and replace them for every 20 shots or 20 minutes, where else other cameras use the same batteries for one comlplete day
so if at all u like any model then go into its official site in its manual search for the power consumption compare with other cameras in that range the less the power amps consumed the less it would be chance to reload with batteries.
most of u do not consider this untill we have any problem
here I faced the problem so im suggesting u to go through the manual
because once u buy u have to bear it
and for hp products they break or will get a prob after the waranty period is over, dont go for the brand name go after a popular product not a popular company
and one more thing auto adjustments are not ment for all comditions
the more u get familiar with the settings of each and every parameter the better ur pictute would be
choose according to ur usage, budget, & requirement
but not less than the basic or else u will regret
