Argos buying guide to digital cameras - 1 of 4

Digital cameras explained

Today's digital cameras let you store hundreds of sharp, vivid pictures - yet they're small enough to fit in a pocket. This Buying Guide will tell you what to look for in an amateur or professional digital camera, whether you're interested in something small and cheap, or in benefits like resolution, screen size, and zoom.

How do digital cameras work?

With a digital camera, there's no need to change or develop films: it records pictures onto a memory chip instead. And if you don't like a picture, just delete it and try again! You can then transfer your pictures onto your PC, or even send them straight to your printer. There are plenty of differences between models, so this Guide helps you choose the one that's right for you.

See how resolution, screens, and zooms give you great pictures.

Digital cameras make photography simple

The main choices to make are resolution, screen size, and zoom - but you'll find extra features too, like anti-shake, face focus, and memory cards. Read about them in how to choose your digital camera.

Take more and better pictures with anti-shake, face focus, and memory.


Keep it simple by choosing a camera and printer that use PictBridge. These cameras and printers can connect together without needing a PC, letting you print your photos straight from your camera.
