How to Buy a Point-and-Shoot Camera

By far the largest segment of the digital camera market, point-and-shoot models are easy-to-use, compact cameras that take great pictures with minimal effort. With a point and shooter, you simply press the shutter button, and the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed, aperture, focus, and light sensitivity to capture a clear image with optimal color. Unlike digital SLRs, which offer more manual control and interchangeable lenses, point-and-shoot cameras can slip into a pocket, and are often hundreds or even thousands of dollars less expensive than their D-SLR counterparts.

Deciding to buy a point-and-shoot camera is the simple part, but with hundreds of models to choose from, selecting the best model for your needs and budget is no easy feat. Following our seven rules will help bring your perfect point and shooter into focus.
