Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Examine your budget. Most cameras purchased by companies tend to be mid-range or higher priced cameras for quality purposes.

Step2

Determine the use for your camera. Most companies use their cameras for promotional pictures, product pictures or pictures for a presentation. Decide which it will be used most for.

Step3

Check the number of megapixels. Most cameras are from 1-5. The megapixels determine the resolution of the picture. 1-2 megapixels are good for photos published on Web sites or through an email, but are not good for printing. 3 megapixel cameras are best for pictures used on photo quality paper. 4-5 megapixels is good for pictures you plan to blow up to anything higher than 12 inches.

Step4

Decide on a size. Some cameras are bigger than others and can be easier to take photos with. Be sure whoever is using the camera most is comfortable with its size and their ability to take a good photo with it.

Step5

Consider possible accessories. Batteries and memory cards are a must have and will keep your camera running. Also a USB cable is necessary to hook up your camera the USB port in your computer.

Step6

Research your choices in consumer magazines or online. You can even ask other customers on online forums.

Tips & Warnings

Be sure that your budget allows for the best professional quality that your company wants to put forth.
Image sensors in most cameras also have to do with the quality of your pictures. Most cameras have charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors which are good for higher quality photos.
Other accessories to include are a docking station and rechargeable batteries.
Don’t let personal decisions get in the way when purchasing a company camera. This is not for your use, but for the benefit of your company, so keep that in mind.
