4. Do consider the memory you will need
Most cameras come with a very small memory card. This is usually not large enough to fit the pictures you will need. So make sure you price in the upgraded memory card. The largest cards available are often very expensive so look a buying two smaller cards if you need that much memory it often works out cheaper.

5. Do think about video
Many cameras now come equipped with video recording features. Don’t ignore these are they can come in very useful for that short video you want to record. Just remember to not hold the camera vertically as videos are hard to turn round. Make sure you have a big enough memory card to store any video you want.

6. Do look at the battery type
The majority of cameras come with a proprietary rechargeable battery. This can only be used in the camera you have or sometimes some others from the same manufacturer. These are often expensive to replace so look at the number of charges the battery is rated for and how many pictures you will get on each charge.

7. Don’t buy without trying the camera
Even if you are planning to buy on-line it is important to get hold of the digital camera and see if you like how it feels and that you can easily use the controls. Most camera shops will allow you to take some pictures and see how they look on the screen.
