Digital Camera Evaluation Needed Before Purchase
With so many makes and models and each with a variety of features you may, or may not, ever use, it is important to conduct a thorough digital camera evaluation before making the decision of which one to purchase.
While picture taken with a digital camera may appear to be smooth in print, the picture is actually made up of millions of small squares called pixels. This would be the equivalent to the resolution in pictures taken with a film camera. The higher the pixel rating of a digital camera, the better quality the picture will be in print. Part of your digital camera evaluation should be the number of pixels. They are available from one million pixels to over 14 million pixels and, as with most items electronic, the higher the pixel rating, the higher the cost will be.
Another important part of your digital camera evaluation would be its ability to gather light during the picture-taking process. With film cameras the ISO standard is used to state that ability. Portrait photography was typically done with an ISO rating of 100, which rendered high-quality prints from the negative. For outdoor use the typical ISO rating is 200 and indoors, with a flash 200 ISO could also be used, however an ISO 400 film is considered an all-around film for action pictures outdoors or for pictures taken indoor under normal light, without a flash.
Digital cameras have similar settings, especially on those that allow for adjustable lens opening, called the f-stop for depth of field, ad shutter speeds. Consider in your digital camera evaluation that the higher the f-stop, the more of the image will be in focus, but your shutter speed will be slower. Anytime your shutter speed is below 1/125 of a second you run the risk of the shot being out of focus due to hand, or subject, movement.
Look For Burst Shot Capability
Another part of the digital camera evaluation is burst capability. This refers to the picture being taken in short bursts, maybe three shots in a second or two. Using a digital camera there is sometimes a delay from the time you push the shutter and the time the picture is actually taken. This delay can cause difficulty in getting the picture you want, especially with action photography.
But performing a complete digital camera evaluation before you make a decision can insure you have the features you want, and do not end up paying big money for other features that you may never use.

How do you take good night pictures on a digital camera?
I have a 10.1 megapixel Casio Exilim digital camera with all of the bells and whistles anyone needs in a camera. However, every picture I take at night comes out TOO DARK, even with the night scene mode, full flash, you name it. Any suggestions? Oh and what do the ISO settings help with? Thanks!
The model of the camera is the EX-Z1050
This is a picture I took with an old Sony Cybershot in downtown Houston. I took this just by turning the flash off and leaning against a street lamp to steady myself.

Same camera, same night, but while driving:

And this image was made by upping my ISO to 1,000 and using both elbows to steady myself against a railing on a pier.

With a point and shoot you probably don’t want to go too high on your ISO or you will probably see a lot of grain in your images. I would suggest turning your flash off first. I know on all of my point-and-shoots there’s been a flash setting button to just turn it on, turn it on with red-eye, turn it off, and there’s one other setting that always escapes me what it’s called. Try playing around with your flash settings first as all of mine when on auto have adjusted shutter speeds and all that jazz for me automatically. Will take some experimenting.
Good luck!!
