Dont be fooled by pixels

Pixels do not determine the quality of the image; they determine how big the image is. How good the image looks is determined by the quality of the pixels, the lens and the processor inside the camera. Think about the biggest size of print you will ever require and choose the right number of pixels. If in doubt use our specially developed Pixel Calculator to find the megapixel figure thats right for you.

Buying A Digital Camera
Sad to say there are more dishonest discount camera stores than you'll find in almost any other business. Some of the popular photography magazines are cram full of ads advertising very low prices. What they don't tell you is that you won't ever actually get the camera for that price. Either they will add on $75 in shipping charges or they will be "out of stock" on that model, but they will have a more expensive model available of course. Sometimes they'll tell you that the advertised camera is plastic in made in Taiwan, but for another $50 you can get the model made in Japan. Sometimes they'll ship you the wrong item in the hope that it will be too much trouble to send it back. Shop in the ads at the back of magazines based only on the lowest price you see and most of the time you'll be sorry.

However, there are reputable discount dealers and photo.net is associated with a few of them. These dealers do give photo.net a small commission on sales made through their website via the links below, so please use them if theu have what you want at a good price. They're honest, they stock what they advertise, they have low shipping charges, good prices and responsive customer service. If they didn't we wouldn't be associated with them and we wouldn't recommend shopping with them.

It's also important to know the difference between things like optical zoom and digital zoom as well as the advantages and disadvantages between storage formats such as Compact Flash (CF), Microdrives, Sony Memory Stick, Secure Digital (SD), Multimedia and camera interface technologies such as USB 1.1, USB 2.0 and Firewire IEEE 1394.
