Gone are the days when you were forced to choose from only a few cameras. With a leap of technology now you can choose from among hundreds of cameras based on brand, megapixels, zoom etc. Basically there are three categories of cameras to choose from namely, DSLR, point and shoot and Hybrids. Surely with time more varieties shall come out but for now these are your options. In this article each camera type is going to be discussed in brief allowing you to make an informed decision on one particular buy.

The first is point and shoot cameras, a jewel in the modern world’s eye. They are so compact that they fit snuggly in one’s pocket making them easy to take along. These cameras are so cheap that anyone can buy one. Moreover, with a few preset conditions they offer the best use of technology at affordable rates. Some point and shoots even come with 12megapixels or more bringing out the photographer in all of us.

However, brilliant the designs of compacts, they still do not provide the highest technological advances in photography. You cannot make manual settings to take pictures. Furthermore, the processor of these ready to click cameras are not advanced enough to give clear shots under poor lighting conditions and also to take super fast pictures. Unfortunately this means missing out on action shots which require a fast shutter speed and processing as well. Nonetheless, these little marvels are perfect for regular users.

Next camera under consideration is the DSLR or Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras. These are those big cameras that you see dangling around the neck of all professional photographers. These cameras are intelligent thanks to their larger processing powers, large ISO chip and a 10megapixel photo quality. What you cannot do with these cameras is zoom right in on something without changing the lenses first. Since the zoom is fixed according to lens attached, you need to always carry a set of lenses with you.

When it comes to image quality nothing beats a DSLR provided you know how to handle this hot piece of machinery. Unfortunately, beginners will get lost with one of these without proper knowledge on their working. It does not help that a DSLR is the costliest camera among the three types.

Finally there is the hybrid type which came about as an attempt to reduce the massive gap between that of point and shoot and DSLR. These neat little cameras provide the best of both technologies. They come with fixed lenses that zoom in and out quick, with larger processing capacities and a larger chip compared with point and shoots and finally falls in a price range in between the two. This is a highly sought after range of cameras by both professionals as well as normal customers hence its pseudonym, prosumer cameras.

What you choose from among the three depends on your preference. If it is an easy to use requirement then point and shoots are the best. If you wish to go pro then pick a DSLR. However, if you are undecided and are willing to shell out a few extra quid then take a hybrid.
