Picture this - camera comparison chart now available
As part of a new presentation on photography I've prepared a chart to compare prices and features of the
seven common digital camera types - from smartphones and point and shoot cameras at one end to top of the line digital SLRs at the other end.

It is important to note that
sensor size is more important than megapixel count when rating image quality. Unfortunately, virtually all smartphones, point and shoot cameras and long zoom compacts have very small sensors. If you want really high quality images that can be cropped and enlarged you should consider the new category of
Interchangeable Lens Compacts or Consumer DSLRs with large sensors. And remember if you want a ton of great information on cameras, make sure you check out
DPreview.com - everything you need to know about every available camera including prices, reviews and detailed specs.
