Resolution in Megapixels

The number of pixels determines the maximum size of the resulting image and
its sharpness, especially when printed. The higher the resolution to start, the
better the results. You can easily reduce a high-resolution image to low
resolution in the computer, but you cannot go from low to high. The bottom
line: know the destination of your images. See megapixel.

Minimum
Destination Megapixels

website images 1 MP
Computer screen 2 MP
3x5 and 4x6 prints 2 MP
8x10 print 4 MP
11x14 print 6 MP
16x20 print 12 MP
User Interface

Nothing is more critical to photographers than the feel of their cameras.


Because it uses a combination of physical buttons and on-screen menus, a
digital camera's interface can be more daunting than that of a desktop
computer. At the very least, spend some time in the store reviewing the basics.
If at all possible, borrow the camera from a friend for a photo session.

Optical and Electronics Quality

The optical quality of the camera's lens greatly contributes to picture quality.
In addition, the color and geometric accuracy of the pixels in the CCD or
CMOS sensor combined with the camera's internal processing circuits make all
the difference. Specifications on paper are not enough, and reviews from
photographic websites are very valuable.
