| Digital photography has opened up a world of exciting possibilities. Digital cameras give us the flexibility, portability and power to produce great looking shots of people, places and scenes. And thanks to the digital format, we can edit, print, share and send much more easily than ever before. |

| This buying guide can help you understand what the features all mean - and which ones you need. |
| Benefit by going digital |
| Instant shots |
| When you take a photo with a digital camera, you instantly see the results on the LCD screen and the picture is stored on the camera's memory card. This means you can see whether you've got the shot you want and, if not, how to improve your results. |
|
| Image quality |
| Cameras are often classed according to the number of megapixels they offer. The more megapixels, the better resolution. Even the most basic digital cameras have around 3 million pixels these days. Most compact cameras offer a resolution of around 5 megapixels. This is fine for emailing or printing up to A4 size. |
|
| Keep on snapping |
| You're only limited by the life of your battery and the size of your memory card. That means you can keep on snapping much longer than with traditional cameras. You can get memory cards with a capacity of up to 4Gb |
| What can I do with my digital photos? |
| The sky’s the limit really. One of the greatest benefits of digital photography is the ease with which we can share, store, print and edit photos. |
