As mentioned in our last post, there are a huge number of easy to use point and shoot digital cameras now available from hundreds of high street stores on online websites. Thanks to the level of technology now flooding the market, a really good digital camera can be purchased for under £100 in almost any camera shop or electrical retailers.

With many featuring high resolutions surpassing 10 megapixels, 3x and up to 5x optical zoom capabilities and a plethora of special features to make taking brilliant photographs a doddle, digital point and shoot cameras from major manufacturers such as Samsung, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba and many more are easy to acquire and offer excellent photo capture facilities.

Many retailers offer all the extra bits and pieces to provide you with a complete set up, including tripods, carry cases, replacement batteries, memory cards and more for a small price and often include at least one in their special offers. To be confidently sure, you can choose a protection plan for your point and shoot camera in the event that you accidentally break, scratch or damage your camera in any other way for an affordable fee.

What is the best camera choice for amateurs?

As you know yourself, with the help of today’s technology, there are thousands of brilliant affordable cameras now on the market that can produce fantastic results, whatever level of photographer you may be. Many features can now be found on the latest digital cameras such as image stabilisation, face detection, motion blur and many more to offer brilliant results for the amateur photographer. Digital cameras now provide so many preset exposure settings, independent flash settings for various environments and different aids to ensure a good photo can be taken by anyone.

Now these cameras are fine for taking quality images such as holiday snaps, family pictures etc, but for a truly devoted amateur photographer many recommend a camera that features fully manual functions and modes. When learning the basics of composition, any camera can be used to understand the dynamics and for many the SLR or Single Lens Reflex camera is the perfect choice amongst keen amateur photographers who are either learning or aspiring to be professionals.

Choosing either a film or digital camera, there are many entry level SLR models that list all the features that you will require when learning about the various aspects of professional photography. With film cameras you can discover how to develop your prints and with the digital varieties, the ease of use in gaining instant feedback on the images shot.
