When it comes time to purchase a new digital camera, starting the purchasing process without proper knowledge could be catastrophic. Many people simply buy whatever camera they think looks the greatest and later discover that the operation of their new camera does not fulfill their needs. With digital camera reviews being found throughout the net, studying and using them may be the key to finding the best digital camera for your needs. This article identifies and discusses some of 2012's best styles for digital cameras.

Point and Shoot

If you are looking for a simple, small camera to take pictures at family functions but don't care much about creative photography, point-and-shoot cameras are probably the best option for you personally - especially all weather cameras and extended zoom digital cameras. Point-and-shoot cameras are generally the most small digital cameras, fitting easily in a pocket. Such cameras typically have a cost that is less than $200. Nikon digital cameras and Panasonic digital cameras lead the way here, while probably the hottest point-and-shoot digital cameras of 2012 are:

* The Nikon S3600 * The Panasonic FH25 * The Sony WX50 * The Canon 530 HS

Prosumer Digital Cameras

Prosumer cameras are for buyers who are not thinking about elaborate DSLR digital cameras but who love testing with artistic pictures. These cameras have a lot more choices than point-and-shoot digital cameras. This category has cameras with a price tag varying from $200 to $700. Fujifilm and Kodak digital cameras are the business leaders in this class, with popular being:

* Fujifilm Fine Pix F770EXR * Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20 * Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX30V

DSLR Electronic Cameras

DSLR digital cameras are for advanced photographers who need to control every part of the shot. These digital cameras make it possible for the photographer to cloud out a part of the photo while concentrating on something particular. These cameras are complex but truly worthy of the time taken to learn how to operate it. A good number of DSLR cameras have a cost that's not less than $600. Sony and Pentax digital cameras are the business leaders in this group, with the most popular in 2012 being:

* Pentax K-30 * Nikon D3200 * Sony Alpha A37
