I would like some help with....:

So, if you have made it through to this point, then thank you for staying with me. Obviously the most important features are a matter of personal choice, but I have listed below what I consider to be the most critical items that you need to consider when making your final decision as to what to buy.

1. The number of pixels that you need to take the pictures and produce the prints that you want.

2. Zoom lens and quality of lens. We would always recommend a zoom lens to get you closer to the action and lens quality is also an important consideration when making your final choice.

3. Image quality. Does the camera that you are considering have a reputation for producing clear, correctly coloured images.

4. Size. They say size doesn't matter but with a digital camera it does. Some are small enough to slip into your pocket. Other more weighty models will hang fairly heavily around your neck.

5. Camera features. Not so much a case of does it take 20 second movies, but if you really start to get into digital photography does the camera offer you enough manual features to give you the creative control that you are looking for.

6. Storage Media. How much capacity does the camera come with and what type is it. If you have a 4 or 5 megapixel digital camera and only 16mb of compact flash storage then you will soon be running short and probably missing those important shots.

7. Power Source. Battery type. Batteries run down quickly and carrying a number of spares around adds to the weight. If you propose to use the camera heavily then thought needs to be given to a model that uses Lithium-Ion.

8. Computer connections. Do you have a USB port. If not then you will also need a card reader.

9. Size and clarity of LCD screen. LCD screens are a great idea, allowing you to preview and review your pictures. Pick a camera with a large and clear one.

10. Price. Shop around for price and consider buying one of last year's top models. You pay for the fact that you have bought a cutting edge camera and maybe there was already one out there with all the features that you need.
