Compact and Ultra-compact are light, pocket-sized cameras that are easy to carry, usually with a built-in lens. Standard point-and-shoot cameras are of medium size, usually come with a built-in lens, and have basic features that are useful for the casual photographer. SLR/Professional cameras are usually larger, but offer more advanced features and detachable lenses for the photography enthusiast or professional.SLR/ProfessionalOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.ResolutionThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken. A megapixel is the term used for a million pixels — and the more megapixels an imaging sensor has, the higher the camera's potential resolution. On the other hand, the megapixels determine the size of the print, so higher megapixels means larger print sizes, for examples, 6 megapixels are good for 8 x 10 in. prints, 8 megapixels are good for 16 x 20 in. prints.12.9 MegapixelImage Sensor TypeA CCD sensor will provide a sharper more precise image, but is generally more power consuming. CMOS sensors are generally more energy efficient and are creating better and better images as technology develops.CMOSWeight1.24 lb.LensInterchangeable LensHigher-end cameras may allow you to separate the camera body from the lens, allowing you to interchange lenses for different types of photography.Interchangeable LensesOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.35mm Zoom LensDigital ZoomUnlike optical zoom, digital zoom magnifies the pixels but not the actual image. The resulting image appears bigger, but is not as sharp as with an optical zoom.Without Digital ZoomFocus TypeFocus RangeFocal LengthThe distance from the center of the lens to the image of an object at infinity. At same size, the distance from copy to image is four times the focal length of the lens. This also applies to lithographic process lens as well. A 35mm SLR camera has interchangeable lenses that can range in focal length from around 7 to 17mm which are usually fisheye, 17 to 35 are considered wide angle. 50mm is called the standard lens as it has the same equivalent focal length as the human eye. Anything longer is a telephoto lens. Usually expressed in millimeters, smaller focal lengths result in wider fields-of-view.Image QualityCamera ResolutionResolution is measured in megapixels. The higher the megapixels, the sharper and more detailed the pictures your digital camera can take, and the bigger you can enlarge them without losing the sharpness of the image. 3.1 megapixels and higher is usually considered sufficient for print-quality photos. Photos with a resolution of less than 3.1 megapixels are best viewed only on computers.12.9 MegapixelImage ResolutionsThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares.

This number shows the actual optimal size for a movie captured on your camera.1280 x 720320 x 216640 x 424Video Speed24 fpsVideo FormatAVIMotion JPEGHD (High Definition)Exposure ControlAperture RangeThe aperture range measures how much light is let into the camera when taking a photo. Low f-stop settings are best for low light photography while higher f-stops provide a greater depth of field.Shutter SpeedThe shutter speed of a camera depends on two variables: the size of the lens and the actual timing of the shutter, opening and closing. These two factors work as a team to control the amount of light that enters the camera. This is measured in fractions on a shutter speed dial which illustrate how long the shutter opens and closes in a set period of time. The term speed refers to how long the lens remains open. For example, a setting of 1/60 on a shutter speed dial means that the shutter opens and closes within one sixtieth of a second. Various shutter speeds can be used to manipulate the final result of the picture. Usually, a faster shutter speed is used to freeze the scene, for motion shots, while a slower speed is used to create more of an unfocused, abstract result.30 - 1/4000 secWhite BalanceThe white balance of a digital camera controls the color outcome of pictures. All light gives off a color temperature which the camera analyzes and internally adjusts, so that the colors of the picture are captured in their true form. Without the proper white balance, the color in a photo may contain an overabundance of blue, green or orange hues.AutoManualFluorescent (Preset)Incandescent (Preset)Shade (Preset)Sunset (Preset)Flash (Preset)Frames Per Second4 FramesStorageMemory TypeThere are many types of memory / media for digital cameras, but most models are compatible with only one. The most common are CompactFlash and SmartMedia. Many other cameras use Memory Stick and some write the pictures directly onto mini-CDs or floppy disks. It is helpful to choose some sort of memory device that is easy to find in stores, in case you need to purchase extra.SD CardSDHC CardCompression ModesFineNormalUncompressedBasicCompression TypeMany cameras include different settings to control photo resolution. The resolution of the pictures you take affects their quality as well as the amount of memory they utilize. Higher resolution results in higher quality, but takes up more memory.JPEGRaw ImageDPOF 1.1EXIF 2.21DCF 2.0File Size (High Res.)File Size (Low Res.)FlashISO SpeedsISO stands for International Standards Organization. It denotes the rating of a film's sensitivity to light (based on an arithmetical progression). Though digital cameras don't use film, they have adopted the same rating system for describing the sensitivity of the camera's imaging sensor. Digital cameras often include a control for adjusting the ISO speed; some will adjust it automatically depending on the lighting conditions, adjusting it upwards as the available light dims. For exampe, ISO 200 film is twice as fast as ISO 100 film but only half as fast as ISO 400. The scale is identical to ASA (American Standards Association). Generally, with higher ISO speeds there is more noise.10020032006400Flash TypeBuilt-InFlash FunctionsIf the camera has a built-in flash, it might have several different flash functions, such as on/off or anti-redeye flash.Front Sync FlashRear Sync FlashRed-eye Reduction FlashSlow SyncViewfinder / DisplayViewfinderA viewfinder is the small square on the back of a camera that you look through to compose the scene. Some cameras have small screens on the back that act as viewfinders.

This is the small screen on the back of a camera that digitally displays the same image you would see through the viewfinder.

Compact and Ultra-compact are light, pocket-sized cameras that are easy to carry, usually with a built-in lens. Standard point-and-shoot cameras are of medium size, usually come with a built-in lens, and have basic features that are useful for the casual photographer. SLR/Professional cameras are usually larger, but offer more advanced features and detachable lenses for the photography enthusiast or professional.SLR/ProfessionalOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.5.8xResolutionThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken. A megapixel is the term used for a million pixels — and the more megapixels an imaging sensor has, the higher the camera's potential resolution. On the other hand, the megapixels determine the size of the print, so higher megapixels means larger print sizes, for examples, 6 megapixels are good for 8 x 10 in. prints, 8 megapixels are good for 16 x 20 in. prints.12.9 MegapixelImage Sensor TypeA CCD sensor will provide a sharper more precise image, but is generally more power consuming. CMOS sensors are generally more energy efficient and are creating better and better images as technology develops.CMOSWeight2.3 lb.LensInterchangeable LensHigher-end cameras may allow you to separate the camera body from the lens, allowing you to interchange lenses for different types of photography.Interchangeable LensesOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer.

Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.5.8x35mm Zoom Lens27 - 157.5 mmDigital ZoomUnlike optical zoom, digital zoom magnifies the pixels but not the actual image. The resulting image appears bigger, but is not as sharp as with an optical zoom.Without Digital ZoomFocus TypeAutofocusFocus RangeFocal LengthThe distance from the center of the lens to the image of an object at infinity. At same size, the distance from copy to image is four times the focal length of the lens. This also applies to lithographic process lens as well. A 35mm SLR camera has interchangeable lenses that can range in focal length from around 7 to 17mm which are usually fisheye, 17 to 35 are considered wide angle. 50mm is called the standard lens as it has the same equivalent focal length as the human eye. Anything longer is a telephoto lens. Usually expressed in millimeters, smaller focal lengths result in wider fields-of-view.18 - 105 mmImage QualityCamera ResolutionResolution is measured in megapixels. The higher the megapixels, the sharper and more detailed the pictures your digital camera can take, and the bigger you can enlarge them without losing the sharpness of the image. 3.1 megapixels and higher is usually considered sufficient for print-quality photos. Photos with a resolution of less than 3.1 megapixels are best viewed only on computers.12.9 MegapixelImage ResolutionsThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken.

This number shows the actual optimal size for a movie captured on your camera.320 x 240640 x 480 (VGA)1280 x 720Video Speed24 fpsVideo FormatAVIMotion JPEGExposure ControlAperture RangeThe aperture range measures how much light is let into the camera when taking a photo. Low f-stop settings are best for low light photography while higher f-stops provide a greater depth of field.f3.5/f5.6 (w/t)Shutter SpeedThe shutter speed of a camera depends on two variables: the size of the lens and the actual timing of the shutter, opening and closing. These two factors work as a team to control the amount of light that enters the camera. This is measured in fractions on a shutter speed dial which illustrate how long the shutter opens and closes in a set period of time. The term speed refers to how long the lens remains open. For example, a setting of 1/60 on a shutter speed dial means that the shutter opens and closes within one sixtieth of a second. Various shutter speeds can be used to manipulate the final result of the picture. Usually, a faster shutter speed is used to freeze the scene, for motion shots, while a slower speed is used to create more of an unfocused, abstract result.30 - 1/4000 secWhite BalanceThe white balance of a digital camera controls the color outcome of pictures. All light gives off a color temperature which the camera analyzes and internally adjusts, so that the colors of the picture are captured in their true form. Without the proper white balance, the color in a photo may contain an overabundance of blue, green or orange hues.AutoManualDaylight / Sunny (Preset)Fluorescent (Preset)Incandescent (Preset)Shade (Preset)Flash (Preset)Frames Per Second4.5 FramesStorageMemory TypeThere are many types of memory / media for digital cameras, but most models are compatible with only one. The most common are CompactFlash and SmartMedia. Many other cameras use Memory Stick and some write the pictures directly onto mini-CDs or floppy disks. It is helpful to choose some sort of memory device that is easy to find in stores, in case you need to purchase extra.SD CardSDHC CardEye-Fi SD CardCompression ModesCompression TypeMany cameras include different settings to control photo resolution. The resolution of the pictures you take affects their quality as well as the amount of memory they utilize. Higher resolution results in higher quality, but takes up more memory.JPEGRaw ImageDPOFEXIF 2.21DCF 2.0File Size (High Res.)File Size (Low Res.)FlashISO SpeedsISO stands for International Standards Organization. It denotes the rating of a film's sensitivity to light (based on an arithmetical progression). Though digital cameras don't use film, they have adopted the same rating system for describing the sensitivity of the camera's imaging sensor. Digital cameras often include a control for adjusting the ISO speed; some will adjust it automatically depending on the lighting conditions, adjusting it upwards as the available light dims. For exampe, ISO 200 film is twice as fast as ISO 100 film but only half as fast as ISO 400. The scale is identical to ASA (American Standards Association). Generally, with higher ISO speeds there is more noise.10020032006400Flash TypeBuilt-In & ExternalFlash FunctionsIf the camera has a built-in flash, it might have several different flash functions, such as on/off or anti-redeye flash.Auto FlashFront Sync FlashRear Sync FlashFill-in FlashRed-eye Reduction FlashSlow SyncManualViewfinder / DisplayViewfinderA viewfinder is the small square on the back of a camera that you look through to compose the scene. Some cameras have small screens on the back that act as viewfinders. Other cameras have small glass areas through which you can look out of the front of the camera.Optical (Through-the-lens)LCD ScreenLCD stands for "Liquid Crystal Display." This is the small screen on the back of a camera that digitally displays the same image you would see through the viewfinder.

Compact and Ultra-compact are light, pocket-sized cameras that are easy to carry, usually with a built-in lens. Standard point-and-shoot cameras are of medium size, usually come with a built-in lens, and have basic features that are useful for the casual photographer. SLR/Professional cameras are usually larger, but offer more advanced features and detachable lenses for the photography enthusiast or professional.SLR/ProfessionalOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.ResolutionThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken. A megapixel is the term used for a million pixels — and the more megapixels an imaging sensor has, the higher the camera's potential resolution. On the other hand, the megapixels determine the size of the print, so higher megapixels means larger print sizes, for examples, 6 megapixels are good for 8 x 10 in. prints, 8 megapixels are good for 16 x 20 in. prints.12.9 MegapixelImage Sensor TypeA CCD sensor will provide a sharper more precise image, but is generally more power consuming. CMOS sensors are generally more energy efficient and are creating better and better images as technology develops.CMOSWeight1.38 lb.LensInterchangeable LensHigher-end cameras may allow you to separate the camera body from the lens, allowing you to interchange lenses for different types of photography.Interchangeable LensesOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.35mm Zoom LensDigital ZoomUnlike optical zoom, digital zoom magnifies the pixels but not the actual image. The resulting image appears bigger, but is not as sharp as with an optical zoom.Without Digital ZoomFocus TypeFocus RangeFocal LengthThe distance from the center of the lens to the image of an object at infinity. At same size, the distance from copy to image is four times the focal length of the lens. This also applies to lithographic process lens as well. A 35mm SLR camera has interchangeable lenses that can range in focal length from around 7 to 17mm which are usually fisheye, 17 to 35 are considered wide angle. 50mm is called the standard lens as it has the same equivalent focal length as the human eye. Anything longer is a telephoto lens. Usually expressed in millimeters, smaller focal lengths result in wider fields-of-view.Image QualityCamera ResolutionResolution is measured in megapixels. The higher the megapixels, the sharper and more detailed the pictures your digital camera can take, and the bigger you can enlarge them without losing the sharpness of the image. 3.1 megapixels and higher is usually considered sufficient for print-quality photos. Photos with a resolution of less than 3.1 megapixels are best viewed only on computers.12.9 MegapixelImage ResolutionsThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken.

This number shows the actual optimal size for a movie captured on your camera.1280 x 720320 x 216640 x 424Video Speed24 fpsVideo FormatAVIHD (High Definition)Exposure ControlAperture RangeThe aperture range measures how much light is let into the camera when taking a photo. Low f-stop settings are best for low light photography while higher f-stops provide a greater depth of field.Shutter SpeedThe shutter speed of a camera depends on two variables: the size of the lens and the actual timing of the shutter, opening and closing. These two factors work as a team to control the amount of light that enters the camera. This is measured in fractions on a shutter speed dial which illustrate how long the shutter opens and closes in a set period of time. The term speed refers to how long the lens remains open. For example, a setting of 1/60 on a shutter speed dial means that the shutter opens and closes within one sixtieth of a second. Various shutter speeds can be used to manipulate the final result of the picture. Usually, a faster shutter speed is used to freeze the scene, for motion shots, while a slower speed is used to create more of an unfocused, abstract result.30 - 1/4000 secWhite BalanceThe white balance of a digital camera controls the color outcome of pictures. All light gives off a color temperature which the camera analyzes and internally adjusts, so that the colors of the picture are captured in their true form. Without the proper white balance, the color in a photo may contain an overabundance of blue, green or orange hues.AutoFluorescent (Preset)Incandescent (Preset)Shade (Preset)Sunset (Preset)Flash (Preset)Frames Per Second4.5 FramesStorageMemory TypeThere are many types of memory / media for digital cameras, but most models are compatible with only one. The most common are CompactFlash and SmartMedia. Many other cameras use Memory Stick and some write the pictures directly onto mini-CDs or floppy disks. It is helpful to choose some sort of memory device that is easy to find in stores, in case you need to purchase extra.SD CardSDHC CardCompression ModesUncompressedCompression TypeMany cameras include different settings to control photo resolution. The resolution of the pictures you take affects their quality as well as the amount of memory they utilize. Higher resolution results in higher quality, but takes up more memory.JPEGRaw ImageDPOFEXIF 2.21DCF 2.0File Size (High Res.)File Size (Low Res.)FlashISO SpeedsISO stands for International Standards Organization. It denotes the rating of a film's sensitivity to light (based on an arithmetical progression). Though digital cameras don't use film, they have adopted the same rating system for describing the sensitivity of the camera's imaging sensor. Digital cameras often include a control for adjusting the ISO speed; some will adjust it automatically depending on the lighting conditions, adjusting it upwards as the available light dims. For exampe, ISO 200 film is twice as fast as ISO 100 film but only half as fast as ISO 400. The scale is identical to ASA (American Standards Association). Generally, with higher ISO speeds there is more noise.10020032006400Flash TypeBuilt-InFlash FunctionsIf the camera has a built-in flash, it might have several different flash functions, such as on/off or anti-redeye flash.Front Sync FlashRear Sync FlashRed-eye Reduction FlashSlow SyncViewfinder / DisplayViewfinderA viewfinder is the small square on the back of a camera that you look through to compose the scene.

Compact and Ultra-compact are light, pocket-sized cameras that are easy to carry, usually with a built-in lens. Standard point-and-shoot cameras are of medium size, usually come with a built-in lens, and have basic features that are useful for the casual photographer. SLR/Professional cameras are usually larger, but offer more advanced features and detachable lenses for the photography enthusiast or professional.SLR/ProfessionalOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.3xResolutionThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken. A megapixel is the term used for a million pixels — and the more megapixels an imaging sensor has, the higher the camera's potential resolution. On the other hand, the megapixels determine the size of the print, so higher megapixels means larger print sizes, for examples, 6 megapixels are good for 8 x 10 in. prints, 8 megapixels are good for 16 x 20 in. prints.10.75 MegapixelImage Sensor TypeA CCD sensor will provide a sharper more precise image, but is generally more power consuming. CMOS sensors are generally more energy efficient and are creating better and better images as technology develops.CCDWeight1.06 lb.LensInterchangeable LensHigher-end cameras may allow you to separate the camera body from the lens, allowing you to interchange lenses for different types of photography.Interchangeable LensesOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.3x35mm Zoom Lens27 - 82.5 mmDigital ZoomUnlike optical zoom, digital zoom magnifies the pixels but not the actual image. The resulting image appears bigger, but is not as sharp as with an optical zoom.Without Digital ZoomFocus TypeAutofocus & Manual FocusFocus Range10.8 in. (w)Focal LengthThe distance from the center of the lens to the image of an object at infinity. At same size, the distance from copy to image is four times the focal length of the lens. This also applies to lithographic process lens as well. A 35mm SLR camera has interchangeable lenses that can range in focal length from around 7 to 17mm which are usually fisheye, 17 to 35 are considered wide angle. 50mm is called the standard lens as it has the same equivalent focal length as the human eye. Anything longer is a telephoto lens. Usually expressed in millimeters, smaller focal lengths result in wider fields-of-view.18 - 55 mmImage QualityCamera ResolutionResolution is measured in megapixels. The higher the megapixels, the sharper and more detailed the pictures your digital camera can take, and the bigger you can enlarge them without losing the sharpness of the image. 3.1 megapixels and higher is usually considered sufficient for print-quality photos. Photos with a resolution of less than 3.1 megapixels are best viewed only on computers.10.75 MegapixelImage ResolutionsThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken. A megapixel is the term used for a million pixels — and the more megapixels an imaging sensor has, the higher the camera's potential resolution. On the other hand, the megapixels determine the size of the print, so higher megapixels means larger print sizes, for examples, 6 megapixels are good for 8 x 10 in. prints, 8 megapixels are good for 16 x 20 in. prints.3872 x 25922896 x 19441936 x 1296VideoVideo ResolutionsMany digital cameras let you record short clips of highly compressed, low-resolution video, either as an MPEG movie or a Motion JPEG movie. This number shows the actual optimal size for a movie captured on your camera.Video SpeedVideo FormatAVIExposure ControlAperture RangeThe aperture range measures how much light is let into the camera when taking a photo. Low f-stop settings are best for low light photography while higher f-stops provide a greater depth of field.f22/f36 (w/t) - f3.5/f5.6 (w/t)Shutter SpeedThe shutter speed of a camera depends on two variables: the size of the lens and the actual timing of the shutter, opening and closing. These two factors work as a team to control the amount of light that enters the camera. This is measured in fractions on a shutter speed dial which illustrate how long the shutter opens and closes in a set period of time. The term speed refers to how long the lens remains open. For example, a setting of 1/60 on a shutter speed dial means that the shutter opens and closes within one sixtieth of a second. Various shutter speeds can be used to manipulate the final result of the picture. Usually, a faster shutter speed is used to freeze the scene, for motion shots, while a slower speed is used to create more of an unfocused, abstract result.30 - 1/4000 secWhite BalanceThe white balance of a digital camera controls the color outcome of pictures. All light gives off a color temperature which the camera analyzes and internally adjusts, so that the colors of the picture are captured in their true form. Without the proper white balance, the color in a photo may contain an overabundance of blue, green or orange hues.Daylight / Sunny (Preset)Fluorescent (Preset)Incandescent (Preset)Shade (Preset)Flash (Preset)Colour Temperature AdjustFrames Per Second3 FramesStorageMemory TypeThere are many types of memory / media for digital cameras, but most models are compatible with only one. The most common are CompactFlash and SmartMedia. Many other cameras use Memory Stick and some write the pictures directly onto mini-CDs or floppy disks. It is helpful to choose some sort of memory device that is easy to find in stores, in case you need to purchase extra.Multimedia CardSD CardSDHC CardCompression ModesFineNormalUncompressedBasicCompression TypeMany cameras include different settings to control photo resolution. The resolution of the pictures you take affects their quality as well as the amount of memory they utilize. Higher resolution results in higher quality, but takes up more memory.JPEGRaw ImageDPOFEXIF 2.21DCF 2.0File Size (High Res.)4.8 MB (27 images on 128MB card)File Size (Low Res.)0.3 MB (about 427 images on 128MB card)FlashISO SpeedsISO stands for International Standards Organization. It denotes the rating of a film's sensitivity to light (based on an arithmetical progression). Though digital cameras don't use film, they have adopted the same rating system for describing the sensitivity of the camera's imaging sensor. Digital cameras often include a control for adjusting the ISO speed; some will adjust it automatically depending on the lighting conditions, adjusting it upwards as the available light dims. For exampe, ISO 200 film is twice as fast as ISO 100 film but only half as fast as ISO 400. The scale is identical to ASA (American Standards Association). Generally, with higher ISO speeds there is more noise.10020040080016003200Flash TypeBuilt-In & ExternalFlash FunctionsIf the camera has a built-in flash, it might have several different flash functions, such as on/off or anti-redeye flash.Flash OffAuto FlashFront Sync FlashRear Sync FlashFill-in FlashRed-eye Reduction FlashSlow SyncViewfinder / DisplayViewfinderA viewfinder is the small square on the back of a camera that you look through to compose the scene. Some cameras have small screens on the back that act as viewfinders.

This is the small screen on the back of a camera that digitally displays the same image you would see through the viewfinder.

Compact and Ultra-compact are light, pocket-sized cameras that are easy to carry, usually with a built-in lens. Standard point-and-shoot cameras are of medium size, usually come with a built-in lens, and have basic features that are useful for the casual photographer. SLR/Professional cameras are usually larger, but offer more advanced features and detachable lenses for the photography enthusiast or professional.SLR/ProfessionalOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.3xResolutionThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken. A megapixel is the term used for a million pixels — and the more megapixels an imaging sensor has, the higher the camera's potential resolution. On the other hand, the megapixels determine the size of the print, so higher megapixels means larger print sizes, for examples, 6 megapixels are good for 8 x 10 in. prints, 8 megapixels are good for 16 x 20 in. prints.6.24 MegapixelImage Sensor TypeA CCD sensor will provide a sharper more precise image, but is generally more power consuming. CMOS sensors are generally more energy efficient and are creating better and better images as technology develops.CCDWeight1.06 lb.LensInterchangeable LensHigher-end cameras may allow you to separate the camera body from the lens, allowing you to interchange lenses for different types of photography.Interchangeable LensesOptical ZoomThe optical zoom ratio of a digital camera measures how much the lens can actually zoom in to make subjects appear closer. Be careful to not confuse optical zoom with digital zoom. Optical zoom actually enlarges a picture while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high.3x35mm Zoom Lens18 - 55 mmDigital ZoomUnlike optical zoom, digital zoom magnifies the pixels but not the actual image. The resulting image appears bigger, but is not as sharp as with an optical zoom.Focus TypeAutofocus & Manual FocusFocus RangeFocal LengthThe distance from the center of the lens to the image of an object at infinity. At same size, the distance from copy to image is four times the focal length of the lens. This also applies to lithographic process lens as well. A 35mm SLR camera has interchangeable lenses that can range in focal length from around 7 to 17mm which are usually fisheye, 17 to 35 are considered wide angle. 50mm is called the standard lens as it has the same equivalent focal length as the human eye. Anything longer is a telephoto lens. Usually expressed in millimeters, smaller focal lengths result in wider fields-of-view.Image QualityCamera ResolutionResolution is measured in megapixels. The higher the megapixels, the sharper and more detailed the pictures your digital camera can take, and the bigger you can enlarge them without losing the sharpness of the image. 3.1 megapixels and higher is usually considered sufficient for print-quality photos. Photos with a resolution of less than 3.1 megapixels are best viewed only on computers.6.24 MegapixelImage ResolutionsThe sensor in a digital camera is composed of pixels, which are tiny light-sensitive squares. The sensors in most cameras today are made up of millions of pixels, each one registering the brightness of the light striking it as the photo is taken.

This number shows the actual optimal size for a movie captured on your camera.Video SpeedVideo FormatExposure ControlAperture RangeThe aperture range measures how much light is let into the camera when taking a photo. Low f-stop settings are best for low light photography while higher f-stops provide a greater depth of field.f3.5/f5.6 (w/t)Shutter SpeedThe shutter speed of a camera depends on two variables: the size of the lens and the actual timing of the shutter, opening and closing. These two factors work as a team to control the amount of light that enters the camera. This is measured in fractions on a shutter speed dial which illustrate how long the shutter opens and closes in a set period of time. The term speed refers to how long the lens remains open. For example, a setting of 1/60 on a shutter speed dial means that the shutter opens and closes within one sixtieth of a second. Various shutter speeds can be used to manipulate the final result of the picture. Usually, a faster shutter speed is used to freeze the scene, for motion shots, while a slower speed is used to create more of an unfocused, abstract result.30 - 1/4000 secWhite BalanceThe white balance of a digital camera controls the color outcome of pictures. All light gives off a color temperature which the camera analyzes and internally adjusts, so that the colors of the picture are captured in their true form. Without the proper white balance, the color in a photo may contain an overabundance of blue, green or orange hues.AutoFrames Per Second2.5 FramesStorageMemory TypeThere are many types of memory / media for digital cameras, but most models are compatible with only one. The most common are CompactFlash and SmartMedia. Many other cameras use Memory Stick and some write the pictures directly onto mini-CDs or floppy disks. It is helpful to choose some sort of memory device that is easy to find in stores, in case you need to purchase extra.SD CardSDHC CardCompression ModesFineNormalUncompressedBasicCompression TypeMany cameras include different settings to control photo resolution. The resolution of the pictures you take affects their quality as well as the amount of memory they utilize. Higher resolution results in higher quality, but takes up more memory.JPEGRaw ImageEXIF 2.1DCFDPOFFile Size (High Res.)5.8 MB (22 images on 128MB card)File Size (Low Res.)0.2 MB (about 640 images on 128MB card)FlashISO SpeedsISO stands for International Standards Organization. It denotes the rating of a film's sensitivity to light (based on an arithmetical progression). Though digital cameras don't use film, they have adopted the same rating system for describing the sensitivity of the camera's imaging sensor. Digital cameras often include a control for adjusting the ISO speed; some will adjust it automatically depending on the lighting conditions, adjusting it upwards as the available light dims. For exampe, ISO 200 film is twice as fast as ISO 100 film but only half as fast as ISO 400. The scale is identical to ASA (American Standards Association). Generally, with higher ISO speeds there is more noise.2001600Flash TypeBuilt-In & ExternalFlash FunctionsIf the camera has a built-in flash, it might have several different flash functions, such as on/off or anti-redeye flash.Auto FlashRear Sync FlashFill-in FlashRed-eye Reduction FlashSlow SyncViewfinder / DisplayViewfinderA viewfinder is the small square on the back of a camera that you look through to compose the scene. Some cameras have small screens on the back that act as viewfinders. Other cameras have small glass areas through which you can look out of the front of the camera.Optical (Through-the-lens)LCD ScreenLCD stands for "Liquid Crystal Display." This is the small screen on the back of a camera that digitally displays the same image you would see through the viewfinder.
