After doing research on digital cameras and camcorders, I found that the higher function of features, the higher quality of images, but also the higher price. It is helpful if people understand basic concepts of technical terms used in digital equipment and clearly knows his purpose of buying digital camera or camcorder. Then he can balance his budget and needs to buy an appropriate device. There are many considerations needed to think about and there are many choices of products out there in the market. Some digital equipment is still expensive. Meanwhile, when I see many products on the market, it seems that manufacturers have involved competition on developing
new products. This maybe a good thing for customers because the quality will be improved and old product will drop the price.
