How do I Make a Decision which Digital Camera to Buy?

“How do I make a decision which digital camera to buy?”

This question – or variations of it – is among the most common question that I get asked by Digital Photography School readers.

I’ve written a post with some of my own thoughts (How to Buy a Digital Camera) which I generally point people to but I thought it might also make a good Reader Question or Discussion Starter this weekend. I’ll point people to this thread as well as my other post.

• So how would you answer someone asking ‘How do I Make a Decision which Digital Camera to Buy?’
• What tips would you give someone searching for a digital camera?
• Are there recommendations that you’d made about questions that they should ask themselves?

Looking forward to reading your advice.
