"Size and weight are very important, especially in the consumer line of cameras. They have cameras that are smaller than a pack of cigarettes that will take you know, five or six mega pixels. And they're always trying to get smaller and lighter cameras because people you know, want to carry these in their purse, in their pocket, put them in the glove compartment, it's very important. But as far as what's the best camera? Well, if there was only one best camera, then there would only be one best camera company. So you have to make a decision on which features you like and how many mega pixels you're going to need. Mega pixels are very important. Lenses also important too. Then you have to consider you know, the length that the flash will cover. You will have to consider probably the optical zoom and also there's a digital zoom. Digital zoom is basically just cropping down your picture. It is not zooming in any closer, but cropping down on your picture which doesn't alleviate the problem of pixelization as you increase the size of picture, when you blow it up to a larger size."
