Best of all, it is extremely lightweight and can be tucked away in your pocket or small bag, making it by far the most convenient option for complete all-weather protection for your digital camera, not to mention the most affordable. Take beautiful clear pictures wherever you are without having to worry about damaging your valuable camera!So what is the best digital camera on the consumer market? The answer is probably the Hasselblad H3D-39. The 39 indicates that it is a 39 mega pixel camera and if you trip down to your local camera dealer you probably won't find one. If you did find one you probably would not want to spend the amount of money that they would be asking for the camera!
So much for what is the best camera, what is the best camera for you? Once again the answer is not as difficult as you might think.
The first question you have to ask yourself is how will I use my new camera? Compact cameras are great for slipping into your pocket or handbag and they do generally take much better pictures than your average phone camera. If you simply want a camera to take happy snaps at parties and when you go on holiday there is a wide range of compact cameras to meet you needs.
If you are thinking about taking up photography seriously and want a camera that will take shots in all lighting conditions then you may want to consider going down the DSLR route. Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras, or DSLRs, are becoming increasingly popular and big manufacturers like Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Samsung, Sony and Olympus have keenly priced entry level models. DSLR cameras have larger sensors compared to compact cameras making them less susceptible to noise. They also allow you to change the lens to cope with different shooting conditions. DSLRs are the preferred choice of professional photographers.
Bridge cameras are almost the same as a DSLR in look and feel except for having a non interchangeable lens. Usually they have a slightly smaller sensor than a DSLR and they also usually come with a large zoom range making them a favourite with bird watchers and nature lovers. Fuji and Panasonic have the most popular range of bridge cameras.
Once you have decided on what type of camera is best for you the next step is decide on the price you want to pay. After that it's time to go bargain hunting.
If you stick with the big camera names I've quoted in this article you won't go far wrong. Also if you look for a year old model, you can often pick one up a camera with as much as 30% off the initial price. Web sites like dpreview and Steve's cameras contain all the latest reviews. If you are still uncertain what model to buy, select a few you think you might like, and then go read the comments and look at the pictures on the forums at dpreview.
