Tips on Buying Digital Cameras Under $100

August 14, 2009 – 6:10 pm -

If there's one thing that everyone searching for digital cameras has in common, it's that they want to find a good deal. Despite rumors to the contrary, you can actually find great digital cameras under $100. It's all about knowing what to look for and what to avoid. Follow these tips and you'll be able to find perfect kids digital cameras or cheap digital cameras for any other use or purpose.

When searching for digital cameras under $100 the first thing you have to do is think about which features are the most important to you, and which features you can compromise on a bit. The good news is that you will be absolutely surprised by how feature-rich digital cameras under $100 can be. With the recent and steady improvements in technology, costs have been driven way down. That means the worries about picture quality can be thrown out the window. You can easily find a camera in this class with 7, 8 or even more megapixels.

Knowing that you don't have to make a tradeoff for picture quality in the form of megapixels, what else do you have to be aware of? One of the main ways in which costs are kept down for digital cameras under $100 is with smaller screen sizes. This typically means a screen of about 2 to 2.5 inches in size, as opposed to 3 or more inches. This isn't a bad trade off at all and for most people is well worth the cost savings.

An important tip for buying digital cameras under $100 is to be aware of the zoom capabilities. In this price range you certainly won't get the total zoom that you get with higher price ranges, but you can still get something that's very functional. Optical zoom is the most important, because it does not reduce picture quality. This is opposed to digital zoom, which basically zooms in on the digital imagery rather than getting an actual closer look at the object. But by combining a 3x optical zoom and a 5x digital zoom, or similar specifications, you can still get great coverage when you need it.

Another thing to consider is looking into refurbished digital cameras. A much more expensive model can be knocked down to the $100 or less range when it's returned to the manufacturer or dealer and then refurbished. You don't have to worry about damage to the model, or receiving something that's out of date and oversimplified. That's because most refurbished digital cameras were returned in a trial period or were exchanged. That means that you get a like-new camera at a significant discount.

Whether you are looking for kids digital cameras, or just something affordable that you can use in any manner, you'll be able to find something that meets your needs. Digital cameras under $100 do exist, and they can be of great quality. First, consider which features may not be as important compared to others, like screen size. Furthermore, remember to keep refurbished digital cameras in mind, because you get great, discounted value.

Digital Cameras Under $100 Are A Great Value

Digital cameras are one of those items that continue to amaze me in terms of what you can buy for the money if you shop smart. This holiday season there are some great buys in cameras in the 7MP to 8MP range from the big manufacturers for under $100. An example is the Canon A470 which is a 7.1 MP camera with 3.4 optical zoom and is sold in several colors. I'm not pushing the Canon unit, just highlighting what kind of capability is available for under $100. If you have a particular model in mind that is a little older many of these units are available in on line auctions. I recently bought a used Canon PowerShot G2 which is an older 4 mega Pixel camera which takes fantastic pictures because of the technology used in its design. The PowerShot G2 can be had for well under $100. I bought mine in a eBay auction for far less $100. Do some shopping and you will be surprised at how far your money will go when you are shopping for a good digital camera for less than $100.
