Buying a Digital Camera


What should you look for while buying a digital camera?


While buying a digital camera you have to take in the good and bad qualities and compare brands and qualities of a variety of camera's in order to find the best one that suites you. Some camera's are better quality than other's. You should look for a digital camera which has high megapixels because the higher the megapixels the better quality. E.g: If it says 7.0 megapixel it would be better than 4 or 5.
You should also look for how big the LCD screen is and also how much optical zoom it has(anywhere above 5 is good.)
Though the most important thing is the memory. It needs to have alot of MB or even GB's. Though if there is a digital camera you want the hasn't got much memory you could alwas buy a seperate memory card. (Im still saving :S) You will also need to look at the price which is a big worry if you have parents like mine who think digital camera's arent important! Oh well i saved up enough money to buy my own digital camera..well not really saved just used my birthday money all at one go :D i think it was worth it!..hehe..At least my parents got me a straightener. Which reminds me..I NEED A NEW ONEE!!( Wish me luck :S:S:S)
So remember, always look for brand, fetaures, optical zoom, LCD screen, memory and megapixel. You can also get a variety of colour's.

Using a USB.

As generations grow older, their brain expands causing people to get smarter.
We've come a long way. we started with paper, then floppy disks, then CD Roms, and now we've invented USB's.

USB. How can something so small hold so much files?

A USB is a very handy device which is mainly used by school children, teachers and people who work in offices. It can hold an unlimited amount of files, depending on the size it has, which should be written somewhere on the back of it. Eg: 500 Mb, 25 GB etc.

It's very simple to use, light and small to fit anywhere, and there is a variety to choose from. I don't see why someone wouldn't want to have one.

You simply place it into the USB slot in a computer, save your file/folder to it, then easily click on the little green arrow notification area at the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Very useful device. I wonder what we will come up with in future. A walking, talking computer perhaps. Seeing what we have invented already, I realise that nothing is impossible for humans.
