Choosing a Digital Camera

The goal of this course is simply to give enough information to choose a digital camera wisely. There are more than a hundred current digital camera models available today, making choosing the right one a difficult task, particularly with many models being extremely similar and difficult to distinguish.

This short course teaches about different types of cameras, what their specifications mean and the use of different features. The principal of this is to teach potential buyers which specifications and features are needed for different subjects and types of photography. The compromises of quality, performance and bulk are covered as well. Topics covered include: resolution, megapixels, zoom, camera-types (point-and-shoot, ultra-zoom, DSLR, etc.), viewfinders, photographic controls, lenses, stabilization and more.
