Before find your camra you want to know this features fist.

Megapixels – Cameras with more megapixels give you the freedom to make huge prints and to crop your photos, but they do not necessarily have higher image quality. the reasons for and against getting a camera with more megapixels is:

• Want to make very large prints of your digital images
• Want to crop out large portions of your photos and still make large prints

ISO – (and Image Noise)Increasing the ISO setting lets you take clear photos in dim light without having to use a flash, but it also degrades the image quality. Look for a camera with low noise at high ISO if:

• You enjoy taking photos in dim available light
• You enjoy natural light images and don’t want to use your flash a lot
• You don’t want to lug around a tripod all the time

Image Stabilization – this feature helps you take clearer photos when you hold the camera in your hands.

Dust Control – special systems prevent the digital sensor from getting contaminated with dust (which shows up in your photos as black spots).

Live View – this lets you see a preview of the image you’re ABOUT to take on the camera’s LCD, which is quite common on compact cameras but not on SLRs.

Dynamic Range Control – cameras with dynamic range controls produce pictures that are more true to life, especially when there’s strong contrast in the scene.

Now see the most important camera features to look for your style.
