Today's market is overloaded with a lot of different models and new ones are being launched almost every week. Top brands cover all aspects of digital photography and also all types of users.
Initially, select the appropriate camera and determine how many mega pixels (MP) resolution you want. Basic rule of thumb states that 2MP will provide you with film-quality photos up to 6x9 inches, 3MP up to 8x10, 4MP up to 11X14 inches and 5MP up to 14x17 inches. Certainly, more mega pixels means more expensive camera so this choice depends on funds you have for this purchase.
Amount of mega pixels is not the only thing that determines quality of photos, although it is the most significant. Nevertheless, there are lots of more features you need to take into consideration when selecting a camera. Here are a few that are most important:
Choose a camera that has optical viewfinder beside the Lcd screen. Lcd screen has one downside that is almost unusable under sunlight, and of course, cruise vacation means a lot of sunshine scenes. That is why you should certainly have to have option of using optical viewfinder.
Image storage - this question depends upon couple of sub-questions. How many photos do you intend to make? How long your cruise is going to last? Have you got your computer (laptop) with you? Here, you have to make a simple calculation before you go to cruise.
First, check out how many pictures you are able to store in your present card. Then multiply that with how many pictures you are planning to make during cruise and you can approximately have a clue how much memory you need. For illustration: your camera store 60 pictures on one 128MB card. You then decide: "On my 7-days cruise I'll make about 100 photos". So merely get another 128MB card, which makes 256MB total capacity, and it ought to be sufficient for about 120 photos.
Tip: Always have more cards with smaller capacity instead of just one with big capacity. In this manner, if one card gets corrupted or damaged, you will have your photos saved on the others.
Whole different situation is if you bring your laptop with you on cruise. If that is the case, you are able to transfer your photos on it on daily basis.
Additionally, on almost every ship, there is a photo shop accessible so you can make use of their service (either for transferring photos on certain media or having them printed out), but keep in mind that they will charge for it. Price of this service differs from company to company and if you intend to make use of it, you better check prices before.
Batteries are also extremely delicate detail. Most of today's modern cameras make use of rechargeable NiMH batteries. Murphy's Law says that they will get dry out right at the moment you need them the most and there is no place near by where you are able to purchase the new ones. This has been confirmed so many times that you should truly follow general rule - always and absolutely always bring an extra pair of batteries with you (not to mention, they should be charged the night before).
Take a moment and read manual and find out about settings. Learn how to use outdoor mode for shutting beach scenes and at evening dark mode for formal night. If you fail to manage these functions, you will end up with photos of poor quality.
Watch out for water - digital cameras are not waterproof, unless it is strictly specified.
If you intend to have some pictures during water sports activities, it's good idea that rather than utilizing your digital camera purchase and use one cheap disposable waterproof camera that are usually available all over.
Preserving moments for lifetime memories has never been more affordable and easier. Leading brand manufacturers provide variety of choices and options to assist you to make the most of your cruise experience.
