Look at other features

Here is some tips for choosing additional equipment for our camera:
Size and weight
A heavier camera is easer to hold steady, but a lighter camera is easier to store and carry. Prosumer cameras split the difference between size and features.

Panoramic
Some digital cameras can capture a single-image panorama; others feature multiple-image panorama that you can assemble in the computer later.

Multiple exposures
Takes a preset number of images when you hold the button.

Tripod mount
Allows you to attach a tripod to the camera.

Self-timer
Camera automatically shoots after a set period of time.

Remote control
Camera may be set and operated from a distance.

Date/time indicators
Stamps the header of images with the time and date the photo was shot. This information doesn’t show up on the image but the camera or software displays it while being viewed.

Sound recording
Enables the recording of audio notes or comments with the camera’s built-in microphone.

Software
Most digital cameras are bundled with editing and other software. The software supplied might be a factor when choosing a camera.

LCD viewfinder
Better cameras include these. Choose the largest available. These use battery power.

Eyepiece viewfinders
Most cameras have these even if they have LCD viewfinders. These work best in bright light. They also increase battery life.

Through the lens viewing
Single lens reflex professional cameras allow viewing directly through the camera lens. This is the most accurate view.
