selecting a digital camera


    I want a digital camera for recreational use, and to capture the occasional  snapshot, for things like four wheeling and other things . It has to be compact enough to travel with, not a big camera. 

    My choice for a compact digital camera was the Sony Cyber-shot DSC RX100 II. I feel like this was the best camera for me because it isn't overly complicated to use, doesn't have a bad glare when taking pictures in bright light. The picture it takes also have a high resolution, are bright and saturated. It also has an electric viewfinder and a microphone for taking videos. At 14 mega pixels, the Cyber-shot has a leading edge. Overall I think this is a remarkable camera.

    I found a review for the camera on this website and it's generally positive. The camera received a 9 on image quality, an 8 on performance and a 8.2 overall. There is even a video showing and explaining more of it's features. The review says that the zooming lens is quiet, but the camera's slightly slippery body doesn't have a good grip. If you overlook that one small flaw, you are left with a good camera.

     The prices for the Cyber-shot vary with different retailers, with the most expensive being Amazon at $749.10, with Henry's and Best Buy being $649.99. This is regular price, so buying from Amazon would cost more.
