Chooing a digital camera can be a confusing experience rather than an enjoyable one, especially with the large numbers of different and often very similar models that are released every year. PCMagazine has published a handy guide to selecting the right camera for you.

“Shopping for a digital camera is stressful. Most stores carry a fraction of the 200-plus cameras on the market, and except at specialty stores, salespeople aren’t much help. You can ask friends for recommendations, but even if they love their camera, it might be discontinued, given short product cycles. Don’t throw up your hands and give up. A little information, some strategizing, and our reviews can make the process less traumatic.”

PCMagazine have obviously been busy writing this kind of article, as they also have a essential buying guide for photo printers:

“Photo printers fall neatly into three categories. The first is ink jet photo printers, which we’ll refer to as photo printers or photo ink jets. These offer at least one photo feature but can also function as all-purpose printers. They print from business applications reasonably well, though often at a very slow pace. This is the category to consider if you want a single, all- purpose printer. You should also consider it if you want a second printer just for photos.”
