1. Digital Cameras

What should I look for in a digital camera? What can I do with the photos I have on my computer?

No matter how many megapixels a camera claims to have, the cameras are only as good as the lens. Optics is what you should look for. Traditional camera makers such as Nikon, Olympus and Canon offer the best lenses and camera quality.

Most cameras will be good at 3 Megapixels. You might want to go as high as 6 or 8 Megapixels, if you are looking to print or use larger photos.

Don't forget 2 or 3 extra memory cards. They're handy to have when you're unable to upload your camera's pictures.

You can read more about digital cameras and a list of cameras in different price ranges at my site, http://www.danspeziale.com.

2. Wbat can I do with these digital photos on my hard drive?

There is tremendous advantage in having a digital image.

  • This image can be shared with others
  • Many photos can be linked on a web page for others to view
  • Stored on removable media, such as a CD.

Also, take a look at Ofoto, Shutterfly and SnapFish. These are photo services that let you store and show photos online for others to view. Photos can be viewed in a slide show from any computer. Your friends and family can even order prints of these photos online.
