CHOOSING YOUR NEW DIGITAL CAMERA
Part 1 - Know your needs before you look at features!

Your digital camera is as individual as you are and as personal your favorite pen. It's your camera - get the one that works for you!

People buying a digital camera usually focus on price, brand, features, size and appearance. Or they buy the camera a trusted friend says is best.

These factors are important at the end of looking at your needs - not the beginning. And your friend might have different picture-taking needs from you.

So start with yourself - how are you going to use the camera, what kind of experience you want, and what is important to you.

Answer these questions first and you will have a better idea what to look for with your new digital camera’s features and requirements, and what's the right amount to spend.
