[clug] Digital Camera selection help

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

Surely you can say what you want it for? Without this you will find any advice
relatively random.

Do you want a compact? One to keep in your pocket at all times? Do you need to
be able to change lenses? Do you want more social usage (people, landscape etc.)
or any more specific usage (birds? flowers? cars?).

Do you want video facility? Full HD?

In each category there is a full range of cameras on offer with a wide difference
in price and features.

Anyway, searching is half the fun so take your time.
