Who Makes The Best Cheap Digital Cameras?

Instax and Panasonic make great cheap and mid-range digital cameras; Canon is the leader in DSLR cameras and also make a mid-range option if you’re on a budget.

Slick and compact designs, zoom, rechargeable built-in battery and built-in memory are among the features you can expect. Some models also come in a range of funky colours; and if you're after quality instant prints, look for FUJIFILM instant film compatibility.

Who Makes The Best DSLR Cameras?

DSLR cameras produce professional-quality photos, so you’re going to need to pay a bit more if that’s what you’re after. DSLR cameras have a better auto-focus and higher photo resolution (clarity and details in the photo) than compact digital cameras. They also shoot better in low light, and provide the option to change lenses for greater photographic versatility.

If your budget is tight but you have your heart set on a DSLR, then you can’t go past the Canon EOD 1500D Single EFS18-55III. It has 24.1 megapixel resolution, so you can say goodbye to grainy and blurry photos; it offers superior auto focus and auto flash mode; and, it’s compatible with SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards for extra storage.
