Whether you are new to the world of photography, or simply needing to update your machine to work efficiently, there are many models of digital cameras that you could select. Of course, there is the cheaper camera, and while this can be extremely efficient, you may wish to increase your intended budget and review the more expensive models for that excellent choice.

Using the Cyber shot DSC T2 as an example, the models that come in this range are often pricy at $350. However, the price is said to be worth the money, as the features and functions on the small and compact machine do the model justice. As any in this range, the low weight and LCD screen allow the user to fully integrate themselves with the appliance. It may be that the novice to photography may wish to avoid the complexity of the machine, but it only takes a day or two to learn the functions and achieve high quality image capturing.

The high quality images can be captured on many of the machine’s large internal memory. Some models boast up to 4 GB, and this is before the slots for memory cards are used. It can sometimes be difficult to transfer the images across to the computer, or upload them direct to the internet for file sharing, but many models have an integrated function that allows for a more organized feel to the albums, especially with the tagging options and scrapbooking sideshows. Even the novice will appreciate the effort that has gone into the innovative models at the higher end of the price range.

The price range covers a wide range of external features. Notably the memory card slot, but also the LCD touch screen. While small in size, the menu functions are easily accessible, and the icons are crisp and clear. In this way, the button functions are able to be used for more specific features such as the scrapbooking and zoom options. With this, the user can manipulate the images to their optimum capacity without needing to scroll through several menu options.

In addition, the small machine can function at a nice rate of 8 megapixels, although some cameras in this price range can run as high as 12, so it is always wise to review several models before committing to buy the first one you lay your eyes on. The quality of the images that are created with machines in this range can be outstanding. Even for a lower rate pixel capture, the lighting functions mean that the auto capture rate is set, and the anti shake options minimize the blurriness that can occur with some of the models.

Every one of your dollars is important, and choosing a machine that is worth those can be difficult, especially when there are so many innovative appliances all boasting similar features. A wise choice is to utilize the information on a few models you see, and ask for lots of  advice on them before you purchase.
