Shot for Shot: Digital vs. Film
Which Camera Is Right for You?
By Shel Franco
Shopping for a digital camera can be less complicated if you stick to what you know. "In general, the traditional camera makers such as Nikon, Olympus, Kodak and Canon have a head start on what photographers want and will probably put more effort into good optics and true color," Dawson says.

Don't go scrimping on mega pixels; they determine the resolution. Higher resolutions equal higher quality photos. A typical 4x6 photo might turn out fine with less than 3 mega pixels, but you're bound to want enlargements of that perfect family photo.
