If you have a big event coming up that you would like to remember with lots of pictures, now is the time to buy yourself a new camera from your local rent to own electronics store. There are many different types to choose from, so doing a little bit of research before you go shopping is a great idea. From point and shoot to the more advanced DSLR that has all the bells and whistles.
Consider first what you will be using your camera for. If you will be using it to take action shots, long distance shots or simply enjoy playing with the manual settings a DSLR camera might be the right choice for you. With a camera like this you will be able to switch out your lenses for farther zoom, set your manual focus and take action shots like nobody's business. The DSLR can blast through pictures at such a fast rate that you won't miss a shot. The flash on these cameras reset so fast that you can take lots of pictures in the time it takes a point and shoot to take only one and reset. There are a couple of downsides to these cameras in addition to all the great features. The first is the size. The DSLR camera is quite large and bulky, making it hard to pack around. The second downside is the cost. DSLR cameras are much more expensive than a point and shoot, but they will also retain their value longer. If they are out of your price range you could consider buying your camera from Aaron's rent to own.
If all you really want to do with your camera is to carry it in your purse just in case you want to randomly take a picture of something, a point and shoot is for you. A point and shoot will deliver the quality picture that you desire, but is smaller and easier to tote around. The point and shoot is also less expensive, so if you are the type to misplace things, losing one of these won't your pocketbook as much.
While the selection of cameras out there can be daunting, sticking to a few basics can help. The maximum number of pixels you can afford would be the most beneficial. This will result in the best quality. The size of the viewfinder also matters to some people. Make sure that the screen is bright enough. You should also make sure that your fingers can easily press all of those little buttons on the back of the camera. Once you have sorted all of this out you are ready to buy your camera. Make sure to read through your rent to own agreements thoroughly so you know all the terms and conditions.
