Buying Tips
Buy Batteries
Although you don't have to buy film, you do still have to buy batteries. And digital cameras
use lots of them. Better yet, try to find a model that works with rechargable batteries.
Beware, Mac Fans
All cameras seem to work with Macs as well as PCs, but some require a separate kit--and it's
not always free.
Get Hands-on
Make sure to handle the camera and practice taking pictures with it if you can. This is not your
mother's camera, and you may not be comfortable with the way it sits in your hands. Also, find
out what the warranty is before you bring the unit home.
Compression Settings
Saving your images in higher compression modes should be fine for all but the most detail-intensive
images. The more your images are compressed, the less memory they use, and the quicker they
are to download.
