In my opinion, it is nearly impossible to take a bad photo with a digital camera. With all the high-tech gadgetry built into deluxe digital picture-taking devices, you really have to go out of your way to take a bad shot. And when you do, there’s a good chance that it can be fixed thanks to photo-editing software.
I have yet to snap an image that can’t be improved with a little Photoshop detail.
While you don’t need to be a tech whiz to work a digital camera, it helps if you are not afraid to experiment with various buttons and dials featured on the device. If you simply can’t hack toying with knobs and levers, you might consider purchasing a touch screen digital camera. Those familiar with iPhones and iPads, should have no problem manipulating these relatively new cameras.
The crowning jewel of these cutting-edge cameras is a high-resolution touch screen located on the back of the camera. The flat screen allows users to simply tap an icon with their fingertip to make setting changes. This means no more fiddling with multiple buttons or keys. Another cool feature of a touch screen camera is the ability to choose items that you want to focus on just by tapping them on the display.
People with poor vision will also appreciate the touch screen camera’s larger than normal digital LCDs. The increased screen size allows you to write on an image or save a copy with a simple drag of a finger.
The downside to the camera is that it typically costs more than traditional point-and-shoot digital cameras. In addition, the interfaces of select touch screen digital cameras can be slow, especially if you are used to flipping a switch and getting instant gratification. Another con is that the screen feature drains the battery, which means you will need to have extra on hand if you plan to use the camera for extended periods of time.
