It really is amazing how cheap digital cameras are these days. Technology has really improved over the last 2 years. I remember the first digital camera I ever saw cost thousands of pounds and had a resolution of 1 mega pixel! Now you can get cameras with 10 megapixels for a few hundred pounds. I personally like cameras that have loads of automatic features so that I can just set it, forget it and snap it. However, if you fancy yourself as a professional photographer, you might be interested in the digital SLR cameras.
