Choosing the right digital camera in India

There are a wide variety and brands of digital cameras. Sometimes it gets overwhelming when it comes to make a choice.

If we were to go into the technology, there would be so much information that you would become even more confused.

I feel that the best way to choose a digital camera is to first of all set your budget.

According to your budget, you could broadly go in for the following types of digital cameras:

Basic Point and Shoot – These are easy to use, aim and shoot cameras. However, they are becoming less popular because of ever increasing smartphone camera quality.

DSLR or Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras – There are more expensive and have more features and also a higher quality output. They offer fast autofocus and the burst shooting mode, and the biggest differentiator from the basic point-and-shoot, a choice of lenses to choose from.

Mirrorless cameras – These are high end cameras which do not use the mirrors that are there in DSLR cameras. This makes them lighter and also offers the same or higher quality.

Once you decided which price range you want to go for, then keep these parameters in mind when choosing a particular model:

Megapixels – More the megapixels, clearer the picture and better the print quality when you do print a photo.

Zoom – The optical zoom and digital zoom are two different things. When the optical zoom is used, there is no loss in picture quality, but when the digital zoom is used, then there is loss in picture quality. Opt for more optical zoom.

Lens – Whether it is a fixed one or you can change lenses. Shorter focal length means wider viewing angle.

Aperture – A larger aperture means more light will come into the camera, resulting in better quality photos.

Sensor size – The larger the sensor size the better.

ISO range – the wider the range the better the picture quality will be.

Wi-Fi connected – These days many digital cameras come with wi-fi connectivity, which is a great help in sharing pictures and some other things. However there is a cost attached to this.
