http://live.pirillo.com/ – AndrewsGirl wants to know which digital camera is the best. The problem with this question is that "best" is very subjective.

What exactly are you looking for in a camera? We'd recommend making a checklist of what you want your digital camera to do, and then purchasing a camera based on those specifications. Here are some things you may want to consider:

  • How does it perform in low-light/nighttime conditions? Will You be taking a lot of photos indoors or at night?
  • Do you want a camera that can also take video? How much video do you want to be sable to store? Does it need to be high-definition video?
  • What storage medium do you use? SD Card? Smart Media? Compact Flash?
  • Go into a store like Best Buy, which has a digital camera display, and try playing with those cameras. How is the user interface? Is the camera really easy to use?
  • Is battery life really important to you? Are you comfortable with buying rechargeable AA batteries or do you want the camera to come with a rechargeable battery?
  • What is your budget? Professional cameras can cost thousands of dollars, while high-end consumer cameras can cost around $500, mid range around $300, and low range below $300.

We also recommend going to your favorite photo sharing website, like Flickr, and doing a search for the camera you're interested in, and then determine if you think the camera takes good photos.

Do you have any suggestions for searching for the perfect digital camera?
