Buying a New Camera: What It Means for You
Making the decision to buy a new camera can be a fun and exciting time. Not only will you be able to document those very special moments, you'll also find that technology has made incredible advancements that allow you to shoot the action in ways you never dreamed possible! However, before you rush into buying your new camera, there are two very important questions you should ask yourself:

How Much Am I Looking to Spend?
Cameras today range from modest, affordable prices to many thousands of dollars. Because prices are so varied, you should first determine just how much you are willing to spend. If you're looking to document moments with family and friends, it may make sense to purchase a more moderately priced camera. However, if you're looking to shoot artistic portraits or professionally, a higher end camera may well be your priority.

What Kind of Camera Do I Really Want?
While modern cameras come in many different shapes and sizes, you'll notice many similarities when looking at their specifications. While various cameras place great emphasis on their specific components like resolution or megapixels, the biggest differences for today's cameras are found between Point and Shoot versus Digital SLR cameras. Check out our Shopping Guide to find the explanations and benefits of each.
