With So Many Great Digital Cameras, How Does One Decide?

There are many consumers that are looking to find the best cheap digital cameras that will be able to perform at a great level. There are many that believe that with cameras you need to spend a lot of money to get a camera that will take great pictures. This is not the case as you can definitely pick up a cheap digital that will take great pictures.

1. Nikon D40X. The D40X is a 10MP camera, following the D40 model, which had only 6MP. Obviously, you will need to pay more if you want the D40X, and those extra money can be spent on accessories or extra lenses. But if you do want more megapixels, it’s worth the money. The 420 pixel sensor of the D40X is the same as the one that comes with the D80 model. Also, it uses the processor that the D200 model comes with.

Photography enthusiasts will see that many cheap digital cameras are lacking various features that more expensive ones can offer. This is true though even though they might lack features inexpensive models can still take very nice photographs. If you are looking for specific features be sure to do some comparison-shopping so that the camera that you choose is exactly what you are looking to find.

Lets start with the Nikon D90. A camera that just beats the $1,000 entry barrier, but comes with a generous 12.3 megapixels. Now I know you may have read my other discussions about how megapixels really don’t matter, but that works better for people and cameras that don’t have many.

The D90 comes with other nice features like dust control, live view (all you purists out there just need to get over it), and some nice face detection abilities.

For the more advanced photographer (not the same as the guy with the bigger wallet), you should have a look at the D200. If your looking for speed from a camera, this baby’s got it. By speed, I’m talking about a fast shutter speed, and the ability to take rapid fire pictures one right after the other.

It’s been out for a while, since 2005, which explains why it’s only got 10 megapixels, but it’s also a testament to how good a camera it really is. To still be a viable model, almost four years after it’s launch.
