5. Flash or Not to Flash? Read up on when you should and shouldn't use your flash. Auto flash isn't only flash. In fact, you can get some great shots using flash on setting as well.

6. Use close up. For some of most detailed pictures and some of best quality pictures, zoom in and get a close up. A simple picture of a leaf can look incredible in close up.

7. Get a good sized memory card. When you purchase your memory card, consider upgrading to next level. In order to take good pictures you will want to use it at its highest setting. So, purchase a large enough memory card to hold most pictures in highest level of mega pixels.

There are many more tips and tricks you can learn and use to take best possible digital photographs possible. Think about grabbing a book or two from library and reading up. Or, if you're an Internet fan, check out several websites on digital photography. The more you know, better your digital photographs will be.

6. Memory Cards. Will you need to purchase a memory card for your digital camera as well or will one be provided. How many should you buy depends on how much you will use camera in between downloading them. How much memory will be on cards for camera you plan to purchase?

7. Pixels and Resolution. Just, what is all that about? The better quality cameras which have higher pixels and resolution provide a clearer picture with much more detail then others. Again, compare different models once you are at store. Which model, in your budget range, has best picture? Or, which camera has best picture for what you are willing or able to spend. Test them out prior to purchasing to see difference here.

8. Is camera compatible with your computer? This is very important here since this is how most people download and even print off their pictures! This is usually not a problem unless you own an older computer.

9. Ease of use. Purchasing a digital camera is supposed to make your life easier, right? Make sure you are choosing one you can understand how to use and one that is simple to use. When you want to take a picture, you usually don't have 5 minutes to figure it out.

10. Cost of features over name brand. Our last comment has to do with name brands. Surely, you know that just because a name brand sticker is on an item it is not a way to tell if it is best model out there. Compare features and items listed above to find best camera available to you, not label.

Putting all of this together can produce a great digital camera that suits your needs, your budget, and even your desires. Now, that you have an idea of what to look for, go ahead, run to your retailer with best deal and get digital camera you have been waiting for!
