Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Compact cameras are small fixed-lens cameras meant for casual photography and everyday carry. In previous generations compact cameras were significantly less powerful than other types, but modern variants are almost as powerful as SLRs.
Everyday Photography
Camera phones have given us the ability to always have a camera within easy reach, but many people still prefer to carry an actual proper camera around with them - it allows for far better quality photos, and you have a far greater degree of control over the photo you take.
When ranking cameras to use everyday, we’ve concentrated on size and battery life, since you don’t want your camera weighing you down as you wander, and you definitely don’t want it running out of juice! Good optical sensor size and an image stabiliser are also important, since many of your photos will be taken with very short notice, and these will help reduce any instances of blurring in the photo. Finally, a moving display allows you to tilt the display up and down, in order to raise or lower the camera to find interesting angles, while still being able to see the display to frame the shot.

How to Choose a Digital Camera That is Good for Everyday Photography
Maximum Image Resolution
Image resolution refers to the amount of pixels that make up an photo taken on a digital camera. It is measured as the width x the height of the image - so a 1280 x 720 resolution camera can take a photo that is 1280 pixels wide and 720 pixels tall.
Weight
The camera's weight will depend on the type and size of camera. Compact cameras are usually the lightest while digital SLRs will be heavier. Also consider the number and weight of lenses to take when using a SLR.
Battery Life
The number of shots per battery charge is the number of photos that the camera will typically take on a single charge of the battery.
Vari-Angle LCD Display
A 'vari-angle display' on a digital camera means that the display can be adjusted so it can be viewed effectively from many different angles.
Face Detection
Face detection is a system to automatically detect that a face is in the shot, and focus the camera on the centre of that face.
