The advent of technology gave birth to different camera brands and models photography newbies and enthusiasts alike can choose from depending on their preference, predilections or inclinations. Nowadays, point and shoot cameras became a staple in every person’s life that it became a household gadget much like the cellular or mobile phones before it available in the market to anyone who is raring to document his life as it unfolds before him. So what do you say is the best camera for the budding photographer? I’d say stick with one that it user-friendly and very easy to use like an acid pro. The size of the camera also plays a pivotal role in your photography success so make sure you buy one you can easily tote around as you move from place to place.

If you’re simply a novice photographer, you can get by without the complicated features of an SLR. You can still shoot great pictures with a mere point and shoot camera.

When buying a point and shoot, choose one with as few settings to fiddle with as possible. Those extra features will only cost you extra bucks, and will just end up useless for a newbie like you anyway. Get one with good anti-shake technology, as what most of us are concerned about are blurred pictures.

As for megapixels, yes bigger is better, but for a simple shooter, a mere 8-megapixel should suffice.

Not all point and shoot cameras are created equal, so be sure to choose well. Your wallet will thank you for it.
