Ask yourself the following questions:

The computer is running current Adobe Photoshop?

I assume you intend to edit images, and Adobe Photoshop CS3. If you intend to purchase the full version of Photoshop, only at the time of writing this knowledge, Adobe has just released the latest version of CS4. So dig into the documentation for your computer and watch them.

Mac users, minimal details are as follows.
PowerPC G4 or G5 or multicore IntelProcessor
Mac OS X 10.4.8 through 10.5.2
512 MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
64 MB of video RAM
1 GB of free disk space (additional free space required during installation)
Resolution 1024 x 768
DVD-ROM
QuickTime 7 for multimedia features

Windows users running the details are the minimum Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4:
Processor: Intel Pentium 4, Intel Centrino, Intel Xeon or Dual-Core Intel Xeon MHz
WindowsXP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista
1GB RAM
1.5 GB of free disk space
Color monitor with 16-bit video card
1024 x 768 pixels at 96 ppi or less
Microsoft DirectX 9 compatible video driver
CD
Web features require Internet Explorer 6 or 7 or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 to 3.x.

For users who do not need the full version of Photoshop CS3 or CS4, Adobe Photoshop Elements is more than enough.

Although notplan, any change, you will still need a way to download images from your camera, so you can reuse the memory card.

Or you can buy one of these DVD burners, which burn and download digital files without the use of a computer.

This is a product that looks interesting, but I doubt it can order more.

As with most high-tech materials that could have this device has been set.

I am just saying to you with options to offer.

I warnthat some of these blank CD or DVDs do not last forever.

I'm not eliminate it, trusting in my photos, just because he says that this device is controlled in order. I prefer to buy memory cards now that are much cheaper than the unit that sells for about $ 400.

If you're wondering why they are in the process of digital camera, at this point, that's why.

Most people do not know that digital cameras now have a resolution of at least 8 or even 10 megapixels. If youan old computer, this will directly impact your experience of digital photography.

Have lenses compatible with digital SLRs?

It seems obvious, if you have a Nikon and a lot of goals that are fully compatible with their digital line, you should familiarize yourself with Nikon.

Why an entire system of lenses and accessories, if you do not have to do anything.

If you are not connected to any system, I believe that Nikon and Canon are at par.

When Iworked at the newspaper, I was released Nikon. Now that I am in mine, I shot with Canon.

He was previously a problem with the cameras focused in opposite directions. With auto focus today is no longer a problem.

Finally, remember that it is a tool. The person behind the camera has a good shot.

What do you plan to use the camera?

If you just snapshots of the family home every day, probably in search of a point and shoot.

If youambitious and will see more and more involved in photography, then a digital SLR is the answer, no doubt.

A good point and shoot camera such as Canon G-10, you can not discard quickly now, but expect about $ 500, since walking through the door after taxes and with extra battery and extra memory cards around $ 600 fee.

As for digital SLR cameras, there are a range from $ 400 low all the way up to $ 1200

Most producers to sell digital cameraSLR bodies with lenses bundled as 18 mm to 55 mm zoom. The most common one today, as the Canon Rebel XSi.

Amazon has for $ 654.95.

What is the battery life of the camera are being taken into account?

It uses a battery of property or you must use the options on AA batteries.

In the digital age, I can not emphasize enough how important this is. Without power, you are completely out of the market. All you have is a paper weight. Not muchgood or expensive books.

Proprietary batteries are not necessarily bad. Some manufacturers have their own batteries, which last long. Canon BP-11 batteries are so good that its line of digital SLR cameras.

How big are the prints you want to do?

8 megapixel camera allows you to make enlargements as big as 16 x 20 "without problems, so for most people, that's all you need. Most never Amateur Press a bit 'larger than a 8x12 (not 8x10, digital images in different proportions) have

If I had to spend more than $ 600, I would seriously consider the Canon 30D.

It has the number of megapixels as the Canon Rebel XSi, but it certainly is easier to use.

If you are interested in this advice, then spring for a 50 mm f1.8 lens. The cost is about $ 100. It is much more flexible than the cheap kit 18 mm to 55 mm kit lens.

Extra considered is an exterior> Flash. Ensuring that the Canon 30D comes with a built-in a flash, but has a small flash range of a few meters. If you use a lot to reach the drains, may be the camera batteries.

My advice may seem strange, but in the long run will save you a lot a lot of trouble.

Start your search with the computer, then check your operating system and software (Photoshop, in this case), play nice.

Then you can really look to buy a digital camera. Things to do"usual" way or uninformed ways and for a formula for a series of surprises.

You may find after coughing a lot of money on a fancy camera, your computer can not handle. Then you really a place. You need more than a new computer to spend.

Good luck to all the reading, which are on the market for a digital camera.

One last tip: Bring a SD or Compact Flash card to store a camera and some photos with these cameras, it wasExamination at different ISO settings for the automatic.

Then get help from someone who has Photoshop on his computer. Open the JPEG file on your computer and compare digital images that noise, color, and the basis of this decision, dass

Please let me know if this has been helpful.
