I've always believed buying the top digital camera today was a mistake. You usually end up paying too much, and are far more likely to end up being a guinea pig for Canon, Nikon, Sony or whomever builds your favorite brand name camera.

Or, if it's the artist in you that drives your camera purchase, then then same rule applies. It's the final pictures and images that really matter. There's more than one way (or camera) that can deliver on that promise.

Last but not least is price. The suggested list price is currently $799 for the body and $899 with the lens kit (also improved). Looking to hit the streets around April 2008. If your reading this after the expected street date, then hey lucky you. The EOS 450D is an amazing camera for sure, but there's never a camera better then the one in your hands right now. See ya, I'm off to take some pictures.

For the sake of argument, lets assume your a typical Digital Rebel owner, and shoot a wide variety of subjects. Family portraits, sports, landscape, nature, family outings, and vacation pics.

What are the three most important features to look at when comparing digital cameras? They may not be as obvious as you think. Believe it or not, the number of megapixels is not one of them.

It's a hard question for many consumers to answer, when you've never priced digital cameras before. Digital camera prices vary widely, depending primarily on quality and functionality.This digital camera help and this top camera brands should help.

The Canon PowerShot A570IS is a good choice here. Going for under $150, it comes with some advanced features like face recognition and image stabilization. For $20 or $30 dollars more, you could get the more compact Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital Elph. Less image quality, but substantially smaller and portable.

The final important factor to consider when you compare digital cameras is the hands on test. Try the camera out before you buy it. Do the button controls and menus seem easy and intuitive to navigate? Does the weight of the camera feel good in your hands. Can you take pictures without leaving fingerprints all over the LCD screen? Is the LCD screen easy and clear to see (both inside and outdoors)? With all these comparison points in mind your sure to make good choices about the camera best suited for your purposes.
