Tips & Warnings
The higher the megapixels, the better quality of pictures you will be able to produce.
If you are buying a high megapixel, it is best if you also buy a high capacity memory card, otherwise you may run out of room to store all of your pictures.
You will get a clearer picture using the optical zoom compared to the digital zoom.
Make sure to review all of the features and know how to use them correctly before using the camera.
