Photography has long been a favorite hobby among many people. The ability to capture images with the click of a button and create a lifelong memory is appealing to those that love to look back in reminiscent nostalgia. Those who are hardcore photographic hobbyists will argue that film is the true medium in which image should be captured, but for those of us who are dabblers in photography we can find a hobby much cheaper in digital cameras.
You can find many cameras on-line ranging in price from $49.99 to hundreds of dollars, the price being dependent on who makes them and what features they offer. What you should look for is dependent on your goals; resolution, zoom capacity, being the two biggies.
A few of the selling points on going digital is the expense total. What you need when you first purchase a camera is all you’ll need through the life of your product. You will need a memory card; this is used in replacement of film. The use of a memory card allows more storage of images on the camera, and once those images are downloaded to a computer the card can be 
erased and reused.
Most people can pick up an entire quality digital package for a hundred dollars, that includes camera and memory card. A camera doesn’t have to be top of the line to produce high quality images. Digital resolution is nothing like film quality, but for a part-time hobbyist it doesn’t have to be.
