Which Digital Camera?

Intro

Hot.com.au > Cameras > Which Digital Camera / Buying Guide

Should I Buy a DSLR or a Point and Shoot Digital Camera? This is the ultimate question, and one of the most frequent we receive at the Hot mailbox. If you can afford to have both, then it shouldn't be much of a struggle! But if you had to choose between one or the other, the first thing you need to figure out is what type of photographer you are.

You can start by asking yourself what type of photography you do and how you utilize your camera. We’ve actually broken it down into categories, check them out below and discover what type of photographer you really are!

What Type of Photographer Are You?

 

The Snapaholic

You designate yourself as the photographer in family vacations, and you always bring the camera with you to capture your kid’s playground adventures, or just to take a snap shot of the nicely plated lunch that you had with your best buds.
If you just like taking pictures of your everyday experiences, but are not at all concerned with the settings or that mind-boggling thing they call “aperture”, a ‘Point-and-Shoot’ type of camera would be perfect for you.
You need a digital camera that’s automatically set up to take those memorable shots and would also fit perfectly on your evening purse.
