The camera is an "ally" who is
integral to the youth to record the memorable moments at the beginning of the
New Year or the warm spring trips with family and friends. Therefore, when
buying a camera, the users should refer to the basic criteria to select the one
that gives the satisfactory picture frames.
Megapixel is a decisive factor for the camera sharpness
This is an important factor to decide the
sharpness of image. The "dot" means the photographs can be printed in
the large formats and higher image quality. For example, a 5-megapixel camera
or higher can give the sharp images printed in size of 11x14 cm.

Capture speed
Sharpness is not the only decisive factor
to have a beautiful picture; the capture speed and focus are also important. If
this speed is slow, the photographers will be hard to "catch" the
golden moments, missing a lot of sceneries.
Dimension and weight
Selecting the camera for traveling should
prioritize the factors such as weight, size and style. However, according to a
survey of PC World, the small convenient cameras for the long trips
often have very few buttons and control buttons. This is a little bit
inconvenient for the users who want to change the settings.
Screen size
The large screen will allow you to review
captured images easier. The digital cameras now have the common screen sizes of
at least 2 inches; the larger ones are 2.5 inches to 3 inches. Of course, the
bigger the camera screen sizes are, the more electricity power is consumed. So,
the users need to consider carefully before choosing.

Zoom and lens
If you have to choose between a digital
camera with the large optical zoom and one with a high resolution, you should
choose the type of camera with zoom. First, the photographers do not have
access to the objects captured. Second, digital zoom also helps enlarge the
images very well. In the market, there have been some cameras with 12x, 16x or
even 18x zoom lens. The models with big zoom are often suitable for taking
pictures of nature and sports. However, the users should have a base to prevent
the hand-shake, blurring the images.

Anti-shake feature of camera
Occasionally, the travellers will encounter
the unexpected shooting conditions; for example, when they are moving; the car
is running; shooting with a slow speed; weak light environments or when zooming
a lot can make the images blur. At that time, the anti-shake feature helps
photographers overcome the limitations mentioned above.

Auxiliary functions
Also, you should consider the normal
setting functions such as the resolution, macro mode, flash mode as well as whether
the playback mode is easily done or not. The more buttons on the machine; the
more time the users must take to determine the function of each. The complex
menu also requires a great deal of manipulation that takes time to come to the
features the photographers need.
Memory cards
To save a lot of pictures and to print
them, you should prepare a memory card with the large capacity. Currently in
the market, the SD card costs about from $5 to $15 for 4 GB, from $15 to $25
for the memory card from 8 GB to 16 GB.
Limit shooting some films with camera
Most digital cameras can film. Although
this feature is quite useful, the shot images and sound quality cannot be
compared with a dedicated camcorder. Furthermore, users are limited the
recording time due to depending on the capacity of memory card.
