How to choose a digital camera that will have better lens quality?
Help…any one can give me the idea whether to buy digital camera of Nikon CoolPix Series or Canon PowerShot Series. Which brand bears a clearer and better lens. Besides, i don’t understand the meaning of the CCD, (like: 1/2.3″CCD) .Anyone…..Pleeez?
Canon and Nikon both made their names as optics companies. Quality will be the same between the two and while some may match their lenses for quality, no one beats them. You can’t go wrong with either one.
As for CCD, it’s an acronym that stands for charge-coupled device. This is an analog imaging sensor that is also commonly used in video cameras. Look at an older video camera and you’ll often see “CCD” printed on the side of the camera somewhere near or on the lens. When you see 1/2.3″ CCD, this denotes the size of the CCD sensor in the camera. A 1/2.3″ sensor measures roughly 6mm by 4.5mm…Not very large but adequate for most point-n-shoot cameras.
