Follow this Checklist while Buying a Digital Camera

Over the last few years there are many customers quite a large number of digital cameras, and before buying one here is a list of questions one should ask.

Return policy

Depending on your country, you can return the purchased item in a minimum mandatory period. You might be charged a restocking fee by some stores.

Focal length

You should always ask for the 35mm equivalent of the focal length of the zoom lenses if you are familiar with older cameras. This is printed on the camera itself with most models having remote shutter, but just to be on the safe side you should ask.

Distinguishable features

As compared to others, how is this camera better than others? Does it come with in-camera red eye removal? With direct-to-printer support, does it come?



Highest resolution

What's the maximum number of megapixels this camera can shoot at? If I want to print the photos in a larger format, say, A3 is that resolution enough for me?

What accessories are included with the camera?

Do to transfer the pictures to my computer I get a data cable? What about extra memory cards or spare batteries? Remote camera control has also become popular no a days.

Maximum storage space

You should buy at least one larger memory or 4GB card for any models with less than 1GB of memory. You have no excuse to miss taking a great shot due to lack of disk space with the constant decrease in the price of the storage media.

Support and Service

Can I call someone for help if I get stuck using it? Do I have to mail it to some other location; is there a local repair shop where I can take it, or should the camera break down?

Extended warranty and Warranty

What is the warranty period? Does it cover both spare parts and labor cost? Can it be transferred or renewed to a third party?
