??? Will you be shooting in low light? If so, your camera should offer the option to set
the ISO rating. The camera should also have a maximum setting of ISO 400 or higher.
Image stabilization is another handy option if you shoot in low light.
NOTE
Many cameras ship with proprietary software that doesn??™t
give you a lot of power when it comes to editing images.
The image-editing applications that will be discussed

online.

??? Are you an experienced photographer? If so, you??™re likely to shoot subjects that
are backlit. Thus, your camera should have a mode for shooting in backlit situations.
Better yet, the camera should have multiple metering modes.
??? Will you be capturing images of fast-moving objects? If so, your camera should
have a maximum shutter speed of 1/2000 of a second or more.
??? Do you want the capability of taking wide angle or telephoto shots beyond the
range of the camera lens? If so, your camera should have some method of accepting
accessory lenses. Many high-end digital cameras have lens threads that enable you to
attach an auxiliary wide-angle or telephoto lens.
