In this guide, we will attempt to help you make the best selection when it comes pink digital cameras. We will examine a few critical features that you should examine because making a determination.

Looking at Mega-pixels (sometimes written as MP). This is another way of stating picture resolution, or ‘million pixels’. These are the tiny “squares” or image bits that make up a picture. Ordinarily, these cannot be viewed with the naked eye. Pink digital camera can take up to 2000 x 3000 pixels (6 mega-pixels). These can go up to 12 mega-pixel or more. In normal circumstances, 12 megapixels is overkill. If you are printing pictures on a personal printer, 6 megapixels is suffient to render high quality. You also need more megapixels if you are using professional printing services. To summarize: 6 mega-pixel is sufficientenough for most uses, 12 mega-pixel is better if you intend to make large prints.

The Optical Zoom. The zoom featur is incorporated in almost all pink digital cameras in the market. This comes in digital and optical zoom. Optical zoom works y essentially moving the mechanical parts of the lens to magnify the image. There is no loss of quality when this is done but one has to be in very good lighting to take a good picture. The digital Zoom has gained currency in the recent years. Instead of the camera manipulating the mechanical parts of the lens to zoom in, it magnifies the images using software which manipulates the pixels. This is supposed to result in less distortion. This is achieved courtesy of the specialized software that is installed. When using the zoom feature, ensure that you understand how it works. This is because many people attempt to take pictures without fully understanding it. This renders the photos grainy and blocky especially when viewed on your a PC. This can also get worse when printing. All in all, optical zoom is the mode preferred by professional photographers.

Flash feature. This comes pre-installed inn all pink digital cameras. This feature is standard on most models come with ‘red eye reduction’ which can be really helpful especially when taking pictures in poor light settings.

Optical Viewfinder or Digital Viewfinder. An optical viewfinder is what we are used to in the medieval film-based cameras. There is an opening where the photographer looks through to see the object that they are photographing. This utilized a basic mirror and lense. The digital viewfinder on the other hand, utilizes digital imagery which is then transmitted to a LCD screen. The photographer can establish camera settings digitally from one central console and view those changes on the LCD display. Once a picture is taken, one can also view the results on the same LCD. Optical viewfinders are considered old-fashioned and all pink digital cameras have transitioned to digital viewfinders. While the digital one is considered efficient, cameras employing the optical version are also known to take very high quality pictures. The digital viewfinder however, has been been credited with more accurate shots.

Battery-powered. Pink digital cameras are powered mostly by standard AA batteries. These can be purchased in any supermarket and or gift shop. Some use a high powered but specialised rechargeable battery which can be purchased separately including a charger. Rechargeable batteries have the added advantage of being able to be recharged. While the initial cost is higher, the overall costs are low because it precludes the need to keep buying batteries. If you are going into the country or outdoors where there may not be a power outlet, it is adviced that you stock up on regular AA batteries.

Modes. Pink digital cameras come with different modes for different scenarios. These include snow mode, night mode, snow mode, fireworks mode and more. These were envisioned to make it easier to take quality photos regardless of lighting, terrains or movement. This can be controlled via the speed of the shutter, aperture of the shutter, light mode and the like. It also determines whether one can use flash or not. Additional modes can include night mode, extreme close-up mode (macro mode), sports mode (for fast moving targets) which are essential when taking moving photos of an object. close up pets in the snow’ mode is also another setting that is helpful.

Motion or video photography. Pink digital cameras offer the capability of taking videos. While these are not dedicated video cameras, like a camcorder would, they nevertheless can take extremely high quality movies. The resolution is also outstanding. Video from compact pink digital cameras is excellent. The movies can be stored in a memory stick which can then be loaded onto a laptop or PC and processed. The regular resolution is 640 x 480. Video can be an added boon but one thing to remember is that it can tax the memory and power of the camera. It can be difficult to preserve battery power if you are taking video shots constantly.
