For Beginner Amateur Photographers

What are the best digital cameras for someone who is just starting out in photography? If you desire a digital camera for point-and-shoot photography only, see our article Best Point-and-Shoot Digital Cameras. This aticle will explore the cameras for those who are developing an interest in photography, but are not sure if they want to get serious about it.

A good digital camera for a beginner amateur photographer will take good pictures in Auto mode, plus allow some settings selection for experimentation. A digital camera with Auto mode, plus Aperture-Priority, Shutter-Priority and Manual modes is the best bet in this category. Auto mode allows point-and-shoot picture taking, whereas the other modes allow you to experiment and learn.

Beginner amateur photographers will find the following digital cameras easy to use and a good place to start. Our list of the best beginner digital cameras is by no means complete, and we plan to add to/update it as new models come along. Click on a camera to view its QuickFact™ Sheet.

So, let this page be the starting point of your research. Read the QuickFact™ Sheet of each camera for more information and our Buyer's Guide to help you narrow down your choice (Warning: some elbow grease required).
