One Stop Place To Analyze And Buy A Digicam. Review on Buying a Digital Camera

• I Have been looking to buy a digital camera for the past 2-3 months. My requirements are pretty high and with the options available in the current market, needless to say, I was completely lost. I wanted to know if I would get my money’s worth and got in touch with lots of people and came across different websites for the same. There were 2 websites which I found extremely useful. **https://pcreview.co.uk &

https://steves-digicams.com **. This review might be more appropriate to appear in Websites category, but Thought maybe I am not doing something terribly out of place by reviewing so here.

I found this site extremely useful. I could not find too many reviews of digital cameras, but discussion threads where very informative. I was able to get a lot of significant information with respect to Megapixels, Optical and Digital zooms, Photographic terms and meaning and quite a few plus points and negative points of different digital cameras.

Digital Cameras is just a small part of the site. There are lots of exciting info for computer and electronic gizmo lovers.

Steves-digicams.com

This is a dedicated Digital Camera review and information site. I will give a brief outline of this exhaustive site in this review.

Homepage and Web site design

The homepage is pretty uncomplicated. There is a main menu which straightaway takes you into any of the following

Camera Reviews , Printer Reviews , Accessory Reviews , Dictionary , Other Digicam Sites , Manufacturer’s web sites , Sample Pictures taken from Digital Cameras , Best Cameras, Camcorders etc

I have ventured only into Camera Reviews and Best Cameras Sections and will get into the details of the same

Camera Reviews

This is categorized into Categories based on resolution and Type. You can select Based on what kind of  camera you are looking for. It ranges from 1MP to 8MP and SLR, Weatherproof / Underwater Type.

Once you get into say 5-8 MP Category, the page lists out a complete list of cameras sorted alphabetically in the 5-8MP Range with a basic comparison.

Now comes the best part. Select a camera and click it to enter its review page. This review page is extremely exhaustive.

1. The first page gives you full technical specifications. There are also 6-9 Photographs of the selected model which displays the camera from all 6 views. There is one photograph of the camera compared in size with a standard CD or a floppy disk.

   
   




2. The next 1 or 2 pages is dedicated to features and controls where each and every feature is analysed threadbare.

   
   




3. The next couple of pages or so is dedicated to Record Mode Menu and playback screen menus which is also ripped apart. The explanation and review with screen capture is amazing

   
   




4. The next set of 2 or 3 pages details the software bundled with the camera which is also extremely informative.

   
   




5. The next page gives you sample photographs taken with the camera. Some of them are same photographs with different setting to let us view the subtle and the not so subtle changes.

   
   




6. The last page is Steve’s Conclusion. This gives a complete objective view of all the + and – Points of the camera and scope for improvement

   
   

Best Camera Section

I have not ventured too much into this, but this section list best cameras available in each of the brands depending upon the category. * Professional Digital SLR , Enthusiast Digital SLR , Amateur Digital SLR , 8MP Prosumer , 5-7 MP Enthusiast , 10-12X Optical super zoom and lots more….

I recommend , this is one of the best place to learn and buy a digital camera after exhaustive analysis. I would give a 5/5 for this site.

I have described very briefly only about 5-10% of the site. Check it out.

I am considering getting a Nikon Coolpix 8700 after reading all this and some info fro pcreview.co.uk.

Pls let me know of your comments and my choice.
