Smile For The (Digital) Camera!

With the holidays around the corner, it’s time to start researching those gifts that are on our lists. Most electronics are costly and we want to spend our dollars wisely. And lets face it, no one can know everything about every gadget and gizmo out there. For me, the weak link is photography. And, as luck would have it, I’ve had two requests for digital cameras from the kids this year.

I’ve read reviews all over the internet but in the end I went back to the one site that has never let me down. Steve’s Digicam site is the best resource for anyone planning on buying a digital camera. Established in 1997, Steve has maintained a straight forward, no nonsense site that’s overflowing with information.

My first stop at Steve’s is always his Best Camera roundup. I’ve purchased my last two cameras from this list and was pleased with both choices. The list appears to be updated frequently so check back often for new picks.

If the whole digital camera thing confuses you, Steve’s Digicam Dictionary will help make sense of all the terminology. Have a question? Head to the Digicam forums and ask other users for help. Steve even offers Digicam software suggestions to really make the most of your photography.

Steve also has the Original Digital Photo of the Day Contest. Read the rules then enter your best shot each month. Even if you don’t win one of the terrific prizes, you might still get featured as a photo of the day!
