| How long do the batteries last on this camera? |
Digital cameras are battery hogs, particularly when the LCD screen is switched on.
|
This camera takes both disposable and rechargeable batteries, and we can recommend a good recharger. |
| How do I transfer images from my camera to a computer? |
Most cameras come with a cable and software that let you download, view and even edit images on your PC. |
This camera connects to a PC via its USB port; for easier transfers, we've got card readers and docking stations. |
| Does this camera have optical or digital zoom? |
With optical zoom, the lens does the work; digital zoom just stretches and crops images, often with fuzzy results. |
This camera gives you at least 3X optical zoom, and 9X digital zoom on top of that. |
| Does this camera offer voice or video recording? |
Higher-end cameras can record short audio tags or crude video clips (really stills captured in quick succession). |
If you would like to e-mail brief,
low-res video clips to far-flung friends and relatives, this will do the job. |
