There are hunreds of different digital cameras on ebay.Some are great and others aren't so great.Some even claim to be 12 mp when they are actual only 3 to 3.1 mps.When buying a digital camera ALWAYS ask question about the cameras mega pixels and what type of image sensor it has.Here is a red flag : If the word interpolated which means :it's a way for a camera manufacturer to claim that their camera takes pictures with X number of pixels, when it can't actually "see" that number. Just because the picture has more pixels, doesn't make it better compared to a camera that can actually see that number of pixels. If the camera has this word anywhere in the description it is actually much less mega pixels than it claims to be, run away !! Also avoid cameras that dont have a optical zoom,digital zoom is not very good when its time for those real close up pics. Avoid cameras that have a Omnivision image sensor.This manufactor only make 3.0 mp sensors so if they claim it to be 12 mp or higher than 3.0 mp its a 'elusion' .Also avoid cameras that have a fixed focus or lens.These will give you a blurry picture 95 percent of the time.Always do research on the camera you are interested in.Read reviews and others opinions.This could save you alot of time & heartache and even money ! Stick with the name brands and you will be a digipic professional in no time !
