Cheap digital cameras from china





Consumers used to have to pay high prices for brand name digital cameras, but the popularity of digital photography means people are now searching for cheaper cameras for both fun snapshots and serious photographic applications. Chinese manufacturers have been quick to react to the market, and Chinavasion can bring you many exclusive deals on made-in-China digital cameras that will astound you with their excellent value for money.
Features
Digital cameras from China store images on SD (Secure Digital) card, MMC (multimedia card), or CF (compact flash) card. These are all standard formats of flash memory. If a camera is described on Chinavasion as taking SD or MMC cards (for example) it is guaranteed to work with standard cards that you can buy in your home country.
The higher the “megapixel” rating, the higher the maximum resolution of the pictures you take. Higher resolution means better quality when printed. 2 Megapixels is sufficient for printing a 3x5” print. For a big print such as 8x10” 4 Megapixels or more are preferable.
With most cameras you can choose between several different resolutions when taking photos, to strike a balance between quality and efficient storage.
Digital cameras connect to PC via USB so you can transfer your photos easily for archiving, editing, and printing. It is also possible to remove the flash memory card from the camera and insert that into an external card reader, e.g. in a printer, a PC, or portable DVD player (to view slideshows).
Most digital cameras can act as webcams when connected to PC by USB.
Almost all digital cameras store photos in jpeg (JPG) format, and some high resolution cameras also let you choose TIF and RAW formats.
Many digital cameras will also let you take short videos and store them in digital format, e.g. AVI or MPG.
Digital cameras generally record useful hidden information to your photograph data files, such as the time and date it was taken and technical photographic details, e.g. aperture and shutter speed.
Different cameras take different batteries. Some take standard AA or AAA batteries – buying rechargeable batteries is recommended. Other cameras have built-in, more powerful rechargeable batteries, e.g. Li-Ion battery packs.
