Most of the Tech Gurus believed that Multimedia mobile phones with built-in cameras would effect in sales of cameras, especially digital ones. However, the output results of cameras (provided with these mobile phones) were not up to – the – mark. Moreover, the true photography fans never liked the interface provided with these phones. Moreover, not a single mobile phone can provide optical zoom function in its camera. Hence, the sales figures of digital cameras reached the new heights in a very short span of time.

    what are the implifications of following features in a digital camera to be used domestically?
    1. Mega pixel
    2. Optical zoom
    3. Digital zoom
    Which Camera is the best in price range of Rs.10000 for domestic use and whether it should be shopped on line from a store or bought locally from a showroom.

    • Vignat Vora

      Sorry for answering a bit late.

      Coming to your question , here are the most suitable configurations for your use :

      As each camera has a little bit difference in terms of functions, I would like to advise you to go for specifications , and than choose the right model. As far as the company is concerned, I have a very good experience with Canon.

      1. Megapixels – You can go for a camera with megapixels range from 10 megapixel to 14 megapixel.
      2. Optical Zoom – 4x to 6x is sufficient .
      3. Digital Zoom – Anything from 4x to 12x will be suitable.

      If you can find a good offer from a REPUTED online store, you can go for online purchase. You can find many offers in Diwali season.

    • Vignat Vora

      It is a very nice camera. You can surely go for it. Alternatively, you can go for a lower variant / model , if you do not want to spend this much amount. Overall, this one is a good choice to buy.
