Digital photography is becoming popular worldwide both among professional photographers as well amateur ones, partly because the cameras are less expensive to operate, since you do not have to buy film or pay for developing. When shopping for a digital camera it's at least good to know what the basic terms like white balance, pixel, ppi and dpi mean and how they affect image and print quality.

Currently most popular consumer digital cameras have between 2MPand 5MP. Most digital cameras have settings for sunlight, shade, electronic flash, fluorescent lighting and tungsten lighting. You may end up becoming frustrated with always using the auto mode on your camera, since it doesn't always provide the best picture.
