A better way, if you haven’t done this already, is to start by making a list of your needs in a camera, especially the most elemental need: will you be carrying your new camera in a bag or a pocket? I have a small pocket camera that has many unique features, but doesn’t have the all the “bells-and-whistles” that my fullsized SLR camera body offers. Determining simple needs like time-exposure, close-up, external flash control and portability can save you hundreds of dollars and help you avoid a bad case of buyer’s remorse.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE IS A PICTURE IS WORTH TAKING?

Before digital cameras became affordable for the consumer market, choosing what photos to take was a matter of finances and processing time. Everyone envied the contributing photographers for glossy magazines that had deep enough pockets to afford taking a hundred exposures to get that one keeper for the cover.

Digital photography has made it economically feasible for the amateur photographer to feel more relaxed and experiment by taking numerous exposures and sort through them quickly without the long processing time. Should you take the photo? Take 3!
