Are you thinking of buying a digital camera? Nowadays, many people use a smartphone for taking pictures. Most smartphones come equipped with cameras that perform on par with point-and-shoot cameras, giving users crisp, detailed images, which can be edited and shared on social media easily. But, as amazing as smartphone cameras are, they cannot do everything. And, for those pursuing photography as a hobby, buying a full-fledged digital camera can be a worthwhile investment.

There are many different types of digital cameras to consider, including:

• Point-and-shoot cameras – Typically the most inexpensive cameras on the market, these are small and compact enough to fit in your pocket. While their image quality isn’t comparable with more expensive models, they are still a nice option for novice photographers with small budgets.

• Bridge cameras – Distinguished by their built-in optical “superzoom” lenses of up to 50x magnification, these cameras are the “bridge” between point-and-shoot cameras and digital SLR cameras.

• Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras – The most professional type of camera of the bunch, DSLRs use large image sensors to give photographers the ability to shoot the sharpest of images, even in low light conditions.

Buying a new camera can be a significant purchase, and it’s up to you to decide whether you’re ready to invest in a professional DSLR camera, or if a basic point-and-shoot camera is the better fit for your needs.
