Digital Cameras have come a long way since the 3 megapixel days. They can be as advanced or as simple as you want. The picture quality is usually quite good. Gone is the day of the big clunky camera. Slim is in and very popular. They come in fashion colors now. A slim digital camera is the camera that everyone wants.

There are digital cameras small enough to fit on your key chain. These are great for people who hate to miss an opportunity. These can be used to capture a moment that usually would be missed. Like a child’s first steps. You never have a camera during these moments.

These tiny cameras actually take surprisingly nice photos for their size. Teens would love them for when they are with their friends. They can catch a first baby step, a photo after a fender bender. Whatever you can use them for they will be enjoyed. It is a good first camera for a child because the cost can be minimal. The cost runs between 10.00 and 60.00 or more depending on the features and maker of the camera. Most are no frill just aim and shoot.

The cameras of today offer 10 to 12 megapixels of resolution, which means to you a better quality picture at any size. These cameras also offer face recognition which means that it will focus of the face of the picture subject for a clear shot.

Compact cameras offer features like red eye reduction, face recognition, and large LCD screens. These all help you to take better pictures. They are generally easy to use, and picture quality is great. Some offer night vision so even at night your pictures will look good.

Some have video and audio features so you can take video like a camcorder. They have telephoto lenses for those photo enthusiasts who require just a bit more control. Some will even let you edit the picture right on the camera.

The batteries are usually rechargeable which saves money on replacing them. My favorite feature is the large LCD screens. They come in many sizes, but typically 2-2.5 inch screens are used. This is great for those that cannot see well through the view finder. These mini cameras come with most everything you could need or want. They are small enough to keep in a glove compartment or carry in a purse, and yes even a pocket. Buy the model that has the features that you need at a price you can afford.
