Get the right digital camera for summer memories

(NC) – With summer right around the corner, having a digital camera with the right features will be essential to capturing all your warm weather memories.

According to Panasonic, before purchasing a new camera, think about what you’ll be using it for and what features you value the most. Here are a few examples of what to consider before heading to the store.

Adventure hunter – Outdoor adventurers need a camera that will stand up to rough and tumble activity on land and water. Look for a model that is waterproof, shockproof and dustproof to withstand all the elements. A quick start up time and the ability to shoot in HD are also key features for this shopper.

World traveller – Backpacking in Australia? Touring Europe? A powerful and portable camera that fits easily in a fanny pack or shirt pocket is essential. Other features to look for in a model are built in–compasses to keep you on track, and a model with GPS capability so you always know where you are. Some cameras like those found in Panasonic’s Lumix ZS10 can even recognize and tag one million international landmarks to make post–trip photo sorting a breeze.

Host with the most – Always the go–to for photos from events with family and friends? Pick a model with advanced but easy–to–use functions that make even a new photographer look like a pro. An interchangeable lens camera with different auto focus modes and a touch screen menu lets you flip between settings quickly so the pictures taken in the shade look as great as those from on the deck. A versatile flash can fill in dark areas and capture all the backyard fun.

Sports Fanatic – To capture the game winning hit or the dive to save the goal, sports fans need a versatile camera that’s easy–to–use. A quick start up time, HD video and a powerful zoom lens with intelligent resolution capabilities will ensure that all the game–breaking moments don’t get missed. A camera with Intelligent Auto mode will automatically choose the right settings (so you don’t have to) and compensate for handshake and subject movement so you can focus on what’s important – cheering on the team.
