Compare Different Digital Camera Models Before You Buy |
|
| |
One mistake many people make is choosing a digital camera without doing some comparison-shopping. In this instance, the comparison-shopping is in terms of different models rather than the price. You want to look at not only other models by the same manufacturer but also similar models by a different manufacturer. The purpose of this is to compare not only price but also features in order to determine what the best fit is really for you. When you look at the features on each digital camera, you need to check thoroughly so that you compare models that are the closest in similarity among the manufacturers.
It seems like a waste of time to compare similar models but with different manufacturers, you might think, but since there are different price structures among different manufacturers you want to ascertain, you are getting the best deal. You certainly do not want to pay more money to get a digital camera that is the same except for the manufacturer. That does not mean you want to buy something cheap by any means but you do want to compare the prices based on the features available. Keep in mind that some manufacturers are so well known that you will pay for their name on the camera rather than the features and functions a particular digital may have. Those are the ones to compare, and you want to make certain you know the reputation of that manufacturer.
Even warranties may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer and these are very important when making a digital camera purchase. You do not want to buy your camera from a manufacturer who is not going to stand behind their products and maybe come in contact with trying to return a model that is inferior. A manufacturer that stands behind their products will not force you to keep a camera that is inferior in quality but will be more than willing to work with you and the retailer to fix any problems that may be in existence.
You need to make sure when you buy the camera that you understand the terms of the warranty—most warranties have exclusions such as if you attempt to fix the problem yourself or if the problem is related to abuse of the camera. However, very few retailers will allow a customer to return a camera because they made the wrong selection—this is why it’s essential to ascertain you know exactly what you want before you make the purchase.
