Best Point And Shoot Cameras Buying Guide

Before choosing the best point and shoot camera you should consider following options:

1. Image Stabilization: The two types of image stabilization you’ll see are electronic and optical. Electronic image stabilization (EIS) is a feature that’s typically built into the camera’s software.

Optical image stabilization (OIS) uses a special lens element (called a gyroscope) that moves to counteract shaking. Look for a camera with OIS if you plan to shoot in low light without a flash, take photos on the move, and/or shoot video.

2. Zoom and Lens Quality: Point and shoot cameras come in various forms. Some have a small zoom lens and others have large zoom lenses.

The size of the zoom lens is determined by one of two factors: focal length and/or f-stop. Focal length (in millimeters) is the distance from the camera’s lens to the film, divided by the magnification.

The f-stop is the aperture of the lens. The larger the f-stop, the smaller the lens, and vice versa.

This is important because it affects the “image circle” that the lens projects onto the film or digital sensor. In other words, the image circle determines how big or small the image is, and therefore how much of the scene the lens can capture. (For a more detailed explanation, see the lens section of our SLR camera guide.) A larger image circle means a larger lens, which means a larger zoom range.

In addition to zoom lenses, point and shoot cameras can have one of two kinds of lenses: fixed focus or interchangeable. Fixed focus lenses are inexpensive and produce good image quality but have a limited zoom range. Interchangeable lenses have a much wider range of focal lengths available and better image quality, but are more expensive.

3. Film Speed: Film speed refers to the ISO of the film, and it’s an indication of how much light the film can capture. The higher the ISO number, the more light the film can capture, so you can take photos in darker environments.

Higher ISO film also produces more image noise, which is a defect that looks like grain or static on the image. With digital cameras, ISO is adjusted in the camera’s software, so you don’t have to worry so much about it.

4. Flash: Flash is an important factor to consider when buying a point and shoot camera. Digital cameras typically have fixed lenses, with no way to adjust the angle of the flash.

If you take a lot of flash photos, make sure the camera has an effective flash. If the flash is too weak, it will leave the subject in focus but darken the background.

With film cameras, you’ll want to make sure the flash is powerful enough to light up your subject. Don’t worry about image noise with film cameras, since the film captures light from the flash at the same ISO as from the sunlight.
