Confusion sets in…eyes glaze over, blank stare, mind empties. Must. Touch Them. Shiny. Pretty cameras. Take pictures, they do…

Wake up, PunkMetalMamma! Get a clue! What do you REALLY want in a camera? Wendy Sheehan Donnell of PC Magazine just might have the answer for ALL of us.

Do you want a small camera that requires minimal effort, but takes great pictures? A pocket point and shoot is probably your best bet. Need to get close to the action without carrying a huge camera with a big lens? A compact superzoom model is likely for you. Or do you want a lightning-fast shooter that lets you swap out lenses and play with settings? Then you want a D-SLR or a compact interchangeable-lens camera. Plan on shooting on the beach or the slopes? You need a ruggedized waterproof model.
