Digital camera ratings can be used as a guide to help you decide on purchasing a digital camera. If the camera is any good, it should have a good rating. If the camera is a dud, then it will have a low rating and you may not purchase it. Some
digital camera ratings are on shopping sites and may not be reliable. You should look for digital camera reviews and ratings on independent sites, that are not connected to the manufacturer or shopping sites.
You can get cheaper cameras online, but I would rather do my research online, by reading digital camera reviews and looking for ratings and then walking into a retail store with all the knowledge of the better cameras on the market.
I know of people who have been disappointed with the product they bought online, as it was not the product they received and it was very difficult to send the product back and get a refund. So, before I make a purchasing decision, I like to walk into the camera store and feel the camera in my hand, test it to ensure everything works to meet my needs. Once I am satisfied, then I will make my buying decision.
If you are about to go on an overseas holiday and you need a good, strong camera that will take plenty of quality images, then you may need to spend a little more, to ensure you get those quality images. Depending on your knowledge of cameras and your comfort level, you may purchase a compact digital camera, which will always be ready to shoot all those once in a lifetime images. As the camera is small, you do not have to use a large camera bag to hold your digital compact camera.
Knowing your requirements to meet your needs, will help you go a long way to making a good decision when purchasing a digital camera. To ensure you make a good decision, you should read camera reviews and digital camera ratings.
