Well, I just went camera shopping a few days ago, and got an awesome camera just because I know what certain specs really mean. I mean I’m to an expert camera shopper but I do know my way around a camera store. Any way I’m gonna teach YOU what you need to know next time you buy a digital camera.

The MOST common misconception about cameras is the more mega pixels it has the better. NOT TRUE!!!! The more “mega pixels” just make the pictures you take bigger, meaning you can print a larger picture. Really though, how many pictures do you print on 15X17 inch paper? I mean don’t get me wrong a high meg (meg = mega pixel) camera is not a bad thing but it certainly is not the most important thing. What is the most important thing?

Wow, the Magellan Maestro 4250 is amazing. I was in my friends car and we were heading over to the beach last week. We used her Magellan GPS to get their, anyway It looks beautiful, its very small but still has a 4.3″ screen. Neway, we used we used it to go down to the beach and I just liked it.

If you miss a turn it doesn’t scream at you to make a U turn, instead it almost instantly recalculates the route. Its really easy to use, thats for sure. You could have your 2 year old get directions to the white house. Ok, maybe im over exaggerating a bit but you get the idea.

Well, I didn’t get much time with it but I might buy one soon and get a more detailed review on it.

Well I decided to get a camera for summer vacation as I’m ALWAYS borrowing my brothers and I went to about 4 stores before I found the Nikon Coolpix S550. Right from the get go the size and overall simple design caught my eye (I bought it in graphite black). Its about the same size as a pack of cigarettes (world smallest body on for a 10mp) and the controls on the back are insanely simple.

The only two drawbacks in the design are: that it feels a bit awkward in the hand, just cause its boxish, and it has a fairly small screen. Its only 2.5 inches (measured diagonally) but thats understandable since its so small. Anyway, I of course looked at the specs before I bought it.
