Digital Compact Camera
Posted on Friday, June 26, 2009 in Photography
What is the best brand of "point and shot" or compact digital camera?
What should be the basis in choosing a good or possibly the best compact digital camera? Does the brand name, manufacturer or the country it is made matter? Is it really better if you have bigger megapixels? Lets say Brand "A" has 8.1 megapixels and Brand "B" has 12 megapixels, does it mean that Brand "B" is better?
More megapixels does not equal better pictures when you're looking at a point & shoot camera. All cameras of this type are severely handicapped by their tiny sensors. A typical sensor in a point & shoot might measure 6.15mm x 4.62mm (28.4mm squared). Its obvious that 8,100,000 pixels in this limited space will give us larger individual pixel sizes compared to 12,000,000 pixels in the same space. Larger individual pixels will give better performance in low-light when not using the flash and at higher ISO settings. However, you'd be wise to keep your ISO at 400 or lower.
Although not technically point & shoot cameras, you should read this article titled "Compact Digicams A Pro Could Love" in the May 2009 issue of Shutterbug. http://www.shutterbug.com
