The Best Digital Camera Isn't The Most Expensive.
With the amount of choice available now in the digital camera market, and the amount of special features, effects and pushy sales people trying to convince you that you need the most expensive camera there is, it can be hard to get the right one. One thing is for sure, whatever you may be told by the salesman. The most expensive is not always the best option. That's why we found this article for you. People often tell me I'm a snob, maybe they're right. I don't consider myself as a snob but if i'm honest I always like to have to have the best. I accept no limits and no imperfections. This goes for my clothes, my electronic gear, and my personal grooming. It also goes for my education as far as I can manage it. So when I wanted to get a digital camera, I did not simply get some cheapy camera that was on special. I went out and got the best digital camera that I could. I got what I believed was to be the best digital camera that money could buy. I also got ripped off! This is because like most things, there is a little debate over what the best digital cameras are. I find people talk about the best Nikon digital camera or the best Kodak digital camera, but when the debate turns to the best digital camera brand, everyone is stumped. Camera geeks argue about it endlessly, take a look at some of the related forums and you will see what I mean. The best digital camera consumer reports guide says one thing, but the camera professionals magazines say something completely different. I guess at the end of the day we have to listen to someone as we couldn't possibly try out every single one to find the best digital camera. So like everything else in my life I figured the only way I would be sure to get the best digital camera was to get one with the most features. I chose a reputable well known brand, and then I proceeded to look at what the different cameras in this range offered. I figured that, since the main strength of digital cameras, (in my opinion) was the fact that you can instantly see the pictures and manipulate them much more easily than with the old-fashioned film cameras, the best digital camera would be the one with the most high-tech options. So, like a fool I went ahead and got one with loads of digital zoom, in-camera editing,the ability to take pictures of different dimensions, and many other options. I could even sends pictures out over the Internet by itself! I didn't even need to upload the pictures onto the computer first if I didn't want to! It all sounded amazing and I was blown away by the salesman. The camera cost me an absolute fortune but was well worth it - or so I thought. A friend of mine who is a photography expert took a look at my camera for me and practically laughed in my face. I was dumbstruck! He told me that my camera was a heap of junk. Digital zoom is worthless, and the all the other features are just gimmicks. I couldn't believe it. He also pointed out that you can do all of that stuff in Photoshop far more easily than you can on the camera anyway. I guess that my greed turned out to be my downfall. Well there isn't a huge amount I can do about it now, except for sell my digital camera, (for what it's worth) and take my friend with me This time. Hopefully I will finally get the best digital camera second time around. |
