Affordable Point and Shoot Digital Cameras Explained - Lumix DMC-FH20K

By Jaymes Knowlton


If you search for digital cameras on the internet and you'll find hundreds, if not thousands of different models and manufacturers. The prices can range from as high as 25,000 dollars or as low as 30, depending on where and who you buy from. The big issue is that the majority of us can't afford a 25,000 dollar camera and 30 dollar one isn't likely to provide very good images. As much as it sucks, finding the right type of camera will require you to do a little research so that you are sure that the camera you are interested in will do everything that you need it to do.

Digital cameras can be divided into three separate categories. A lot of people have a lot of varying titles for these categories but the most common name for the economical units are pocket or point and shoot. The midrange cameras are often called bridge cameras, and the professional grade ones belong to the DSLR category. These higher end cameras can run as high as $25,000. Pocket digital cameras are the the ones that you will most often notice others using because they are relatively inexpensive. The more expensive ones are usually for wealthier users and professional photographers.

Likely the soundest of reasons to invest in a pocket digital camera is that it does not require a college degree in photography to get one of them to do what it needs to. Take it out of the box, turn it on, point and shoot! With a camera similar to the Lumix DMC-FH20K it really is that easy.

There are also additional benefits to owning a pocket camera like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20K. These types of digital cameras are easily affordable for most families and will not require to you go to the local pay-day loan shark to pay for it. The majority of them come equipped with a lens which will telescope in and out of the outer shell of the device00. This adds some sturdiness to the device because the lens isn't always extended to get banged around on anything. Often the lens will include an automatic lens cover so that you don't have to keep track of a cover that pops on and off.

While point and shoot cameras have a great deal of advantages for an newbie photographer, they do come with a few disadvantages. As a rule these cameras sacrifice features, quality and technology for characteristics such as durability, cost savings, and portability. One of the most prevalent complaints about these types of cameras is that the pictures that they take of movement can leave much to be desired. A user will not be able to take impressive pictures of things like flying birds or running dogs in most cases using one of these cameras. If someone is interested in photography that would require taking pictures with a lot of fast movement, a bridge camera would likely be a far better selection.

There really is just something fascinating about taking up photography for any reason. It's a great way to relive memories, reminisce about the past, and to freeze an image in time. For most people the best camera that they will ever need is a point and shoot style camera that only costs around 150 to 200 dollars. The digital cameras in this price range are often the best in regards to your quality to cost ratio.
