The digital camera world is one that photographers are very familiar with, and many will know about the best digital cameras. In this day and time, technology is advancing daily, and cameras are becoming more and more powerful.

When a camera takes AA batteries, there is a good chance it will accept rechargeable batteries as well. You will have to pay more for batteries that are rechargeable, but in time you will save money. If you use regular AA batteries, in a month you can easily go through a megapack of them.

Firstly, there is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1. As you can probably guess, being the top rated camera, it comes with a pricey tag. Nonetheless, this is true. The camera goes for around $700, but buyers do get their “bang for the buck”. First of all, the camera is very compact. This is something many buyers look for, as it is easy to carry around with them.

To further solidify the argument for live view, one needs to look no further than arguably the two best SLR cameras offered by Nikon. Specifically the D300, and the D700. While there is a big difference in price between these two suckers, there’s good reason for it. Obviously live view isn’t the reason, but lets have a look.

Next is the Canon PowerShot SX110IS. It is much cheaper than the previous Panasonic, but still a magnificent camera. The PowerShot is more of a personal use, family oriented camera and is almost about a third of the Panasonic camera, at around $230. It consists of a 10x zoom lens and has quite a compact build to it.

You should buy a second set of rechargeable batteries. Even if one of them is in the charger, the other one can be used. Even though a rechargeable battery is fully charged, if you leave it for a few weeks it will lose some of its power. In time they will discharge completely.

Last, but not least, is the Pentax Optio W60 at a price of approximately $280. Even though a bit pricier than then Canon Powershot above, many say it is not as good. Though, the Pentax has a few benefits that do not come with other cameras. Firstly, the Pentax is a water proof camera. Now, many will think that water proof cameras do not take good quality photos.

The Pentax proves that theory wrong. With 10.1 megapixels, the Pentax takes pictures of great quality. Pictures taken with the Pentax are sharp, demonstrate good color. The camera has a very good shutter lag, and is very responsive. To be specific, its shutter lag is approximately 5 frames per second. This camera is great for all around use, so in other words, a great camera for a first!
