Step 1
Assess what type of pictures you plan to take. Capturing images of your family and vacations won't necessarily require the advanced settings and features a professional photographer is looking for.
-
Step 2
Narrow down you choices to one of Canon's high-end, advanced digital cameras if you need professional quality. Point-and-shoot models are compact, but perform like a professional SLR camera.
-
Step 3
Look at how user-friendly each Canon product is. Canon's feature-friendly A Series offers a selection of simple point-and-shoots. Digital ELPH Cameras are easy to use, and offer a host of helpful shooting modes, creative features and advanced functions.
-
Step 4
Compare the size, shape and portability of each model. Some fit in a pocket and other require a case for protection.
-
Step 5
Hop online to take a look at product reviews. Consider the reviewers' level of experience when assessing each camera. Take note of the pros and cons, jotting down a list as you go. Get an idea of which features you must have, and those you could live without for the sake of price.
