Want to buy a Digital Camera

Hi mayka Since you are saying that you do not know much about photography, yet, I would recommend you look at the various point-and-shoot options. Don't get caught up in the megapixel race, as that really only matters if you want to make large prints of them. 10MP is a good starting point, that will print very good quality pictures at 8x10. Also don't consider the digital zoom of a camera; that is only pixel interpolation, not true magnification. Think of interpolation like this; you have a small picture on your computer that is 640x480. If you keep magnifying that up, you get a bigger picture, but it begins to look blocky, which is pixelated. Optical zoom is the factor you want to consider, as that is magnification caused by the lens. It lessens the field of view, but the objects in that field of view are bigger. Compare that to looking through binoculars; the amount (field of view) that you see is smaller, but all of the objects in that field are bigger, and not distorted. Point-and-shoot cameras range from about 3x (common) to about 30x (superzoom) or more. When you get into the superzoom range, the bodies get bigger, so they are not really pocket cameras, and they also get more expensive. Digital cameras can also capture video, so if that might interest you, look for one that not only captures HD video, but allows for constant auto-focus, and zooming while shooting. DSLR's are even more expensive, have interchangeable lenses, and are geared for more serious photography. For someone starting out, and not sure how much they are going to use a camera, they are probably not a good buy. To get a good idea of what cameras do, and some comparisons of cameras I always go here: http://www.dpreview.com/ They compare different models on a standardized test, and they have sections for photography tips and such. Hope that helps
