Finding a digital camera that fits both your needs and your budget is not very difficult these days. And that are just about any electronics store and find inexpensive digital cameras that are reasonable quality. These days you do not spend hundreds of dollars to get a quality camera, you can spend less than 100 comments not even less than 50, to get the perfect camera for your needs.

The biggest thing you need to keep in mind when you are buying a digital camera is what you intend to do with it. If you plan to use the camera professionally, then you are going to need a camera model that can give you high quality results, even if it costs a little more. However, if you plan to take pictures as a hobby, then looking at inexpensive cameras can get you some great deals.

Though digital cameras used to be very expensive, things are different now. One can now expect to find inexpensive digital cameras being produced by different camera manufacturers. Camera companies that do offer inexpensive digital cameras include Canon, Fuji, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Panasonic, etc. While these companies do offer a wide range of inexpensive options, they do still make cameras that are professional quality as well.

If you are looking for inexpensive digital cameras you should ideally avoid cameras with seemingly inconsequential features such as smile detection, face recognition, frame addition capabilities, etc. as these would only increase the price of the camera in question.

Features such as tap/shake operation, touch screens, etc. also up the price of digital cameras and can often complicate the picture taking process. You want to look at relatively simple camera models while looking for one on a budget.

Resolution should not really be a concern in looking at inexpensive cameras as most of the inexpensive models that are now being sold come with 8 megapixels. An 8 megapixel camera is enough to get good 8 X 10 pictures, but larger resolutions such as 10 or 12 megapixels may be better if you are intending to edit your pictures later on.

One thing that you should look out for in buying an inexpensive camera is its zoom. Digital cameras that come only with a digital zoom don't actually zoom in on the subject, but simply magnify it, thereby increasing the pixel size and adversely affecting the quality of the picture. If you want to truly be able to zoom in, the camera should come with an optical zoom.

Know what you are looking for before purchasing any digital camera, I don't be fooled by the prices. You can find inexpensive digital cameras relatively easily as long as you know where to look. Any store that you go to will be able to offer you what you need.
