Today, digital cameras come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. However, it is wise to keep in mind that what you are looking to accomplish will ultimately determine the price you will pay for a camera. That being said, only professional photographers or those working with high-end graphics will need to put up an investment of nearly $1000 for an 8-megapixel camera. For people who are simply looking to do your own web based business projects or upload images to the Web, you can easily keep it less closer to the $400-$500 range for a very nice high quality camera.

Canon is the leader in digital camera technology. In fact, Canon is the only company that offers both consumers and professionals a full line of product. Canon is also the manufacturer of their product lenses, image sensors and processors. This is a benefit to the buyer, as in-house manufacturing savings are passed on to the end user. The highly regarded PowerShot camera series that came to the forefront in 2000 marked the beginning of tremendous growth and profitability in the digital camera market for Canon. Canons huge product line is one of the reasons for such growth. The digital cameras that Canon markets appeal to a wide range of camera users. Whether you are looking for a cheap camera, or rather I say, low-end camera, Canon can furnish what you need. The same goes for the professional that needs the highest quality camera equipment money can buy, Canon can suite those needs as well.

If you have not had a chance to check out Canon’s website, it is a great read. The Canon camera museum for example, makes it plain and clear that Canon is ahead of the game. Canons number one selling series, the PowerShot, is now broken down into four categories based on design and affordability.

PowerShot A is a simple sleek design that easily fits into a shirt pocket. If you are looking for an affordable way to get started in digital photography, this may be the way to go.

PowerShot G is a 3 megapixel beauty. It comes with a 3x optical zoom lens and is the next step up in technology from the A series.

The PowerShot Pro series is designed for professionals and high-end graphic users. It is top of the line and offers a continuous shooting mode that offers a 4-frame per second shooting speed and 20 continuous shots.
