Save those memories – camera buying tips

GG Staff | Feb 1, 2008 - 09:00

If you're planning a getaway, cap off your camera expenses at $300 for quality as good as professional.

  • Print quality: A 4 MP (Megapixel) camera prints top-notch 5x7" prints, a 5-6 MP prints hi-res 8x10's. More than 6 MP can be overkill unless you are looking for poster-sized prints.
  • Optical zoom: For close-ups (3x is the standard) and forget digital zoom. You'll end up with a grainy image.
  • Best mode: You can always scale down, but you can't enhance a low-resolution image to make it sharper.
  • Memory card: Combine with 5 MP camera and you'll have hundreds of photos to share when you get home.
