These buying guides will show you what to look for in a digital camera - whether you're interested in an everyday digital camera, a digital SLR camera, or a camcorder.
A digital camera lets you zoom in close, take sharp images and master family
portraits quickly and easily. And what's more, many are small enough
to fit in your pocket. Simple controls make them really easy to use, and - best
of all - you can view, share and even print your images in seconds.

If you're into photography, a digital SLR
camera could
be the only one you'll
ever need. Easy one-touch buttons
and high-speed shooting mean you have more control than with
other cameras - so you'll never miss that perfect
shot. A choice
of lenses means you'll get much more flexibility,
and you can add on new accessories and lenses as your skills
develop.

The latest digital camcorders use video camera technology
to give you sharp images, smooth colours and really crisp sound.
They're really easy to use, and whether you choose to
record on DV cassette, DVD disk, or HDD disk drive, playing
back your movies couldn't be simpler.
