The number of megapixels is almost nothing. Do not be chasing a high resolution, for family pictures, it is enough 8-10 megapixel. It is better to emphasize on choosing the physical characteristics of the matrix - type and size. It is believed that the larger the matrix, the quality more clearly and better. But here are guided by common sense, choose 1/1.6 "or 1/2.3" diagonal. In the case of the type of the matrix, you can do the CCD for an amateur apparatus, it will be enough, and it is worth such a model much less than with the CMOS matrix.

The following indicator is the brevity zoom. The greater the number of zoom, the more likely to catch a remote object. But you should know that this indicator is associated with the size of optics and significantly affects the total weight of the device. It is very important for the presence of an optical zoom, at the expense of which you bring the object and do not lose the quality of the picture, unlike the model only with the digital zoom.

Taking a photography in the hand, rate how convenient you keep it and switch the shooting modes. A good addition is the presence of a function of video recording, but it is important for a memory card with the possibility of shifting to a more capacious. Included with the acquired camera there is a USB cable that serves to transfer data to a computer and at the same time is a charger. However, some models can work from batteries, it is very convenient if there is no possibility of recharging the device from the electrical network.

The manufacturers lead two Japanese companies - Nikon and Canon. It is especially worth noting the Nikon Coolpix P330 and Canon PowerShot S110 models that have excellent quality at an affordable price and in addition to the base functional support Wi-Fi.
