Deciding which digital camera to buy
Purchasing the most expensive camera with the highest
megapixel CCD does not guarantee the best image quality. Each brand of camera has as
distinctive imaging quality characterized by sharpness and saturation.
There is also a wide variation in the amount of user control over
camera functions. The combination of all factors the factors
mentioned above, your intended use, and your budget should be used to
determine what camera to purchase. There are a number of very good
digital camera sites on the Internet which offer reviews and
side-by-side comparison of cameras:

I did extensive research using these sites before selecting
a Kodak DC290 as my first digital camera. Although it was only a 2.15
megapixel (1792 x 1200) model the images were sharper overall and had
less optical distortion that most of the 3+ and 4 megapixel camera on
the market. I was particularly impressed by the rich saturation of the
colors; many other brands looked washed-out in comparison. This
camera also had other features I deemed important such as external
flash sync. and user control over sharpening and other camera functions.
