We will be looking at some of the best point and shoot cameras made by Canon and Nikon. These cameras come with pop-up viewfinders and are ultra portable. They do not have the longest battery life. But, for the price, they're still a great choice as a pocket camera.

FAQ
What camera should I get?
That all depends on what kind of photographer you want to become. If you are just starting out, a basic point-and shoot camera is all you will need.
Once you have mastered the basics you will likely need something more advanced. It all comes down to personal preference.
These are some important things to think about before you purchase a new camera.
-
Features: Which features are most important? Do you intend to use manual or autofocus settings? How many megapixels do you have on your camera? Is there a lookfinder?
-
Price: What amount are you willing spend on your camera? Are you looking to replace your camera every few years?
-
Brand: Is it possible to be happy with your brand choice? You don't have to settle for anything less than the best.
-
Functionality: Does your camera perform well in low light conditions? Are you capable of taking high-resolution photographs?
-
Image Quality - How clear and sharp is your image quality?

What is rule of thirds for photography?
The rule of thirds can be used to create beautiful compositions, without having to use complicated camera settings. This divides your image horizontally and vertically into nine equal parts. This divides your image into three areas that you would like to see your subject. These are the top third (the upper left corner), middle third (center), and bottom third (lower right). These areas can be used as guidelines for positioning your subject within the frame.
The rule of thirds also helps you avoid placing important elements too close together or too far apart. If they are too close to each other, it may be difficult for them to make a strong visual impression. They might lose focus if they are too close together.
How do I get started with digital photography?
When you start out in digital photography, the first thing to consider is which type of camera you will use. There are many choices, including DSLRs (digital one-lens reflex cameras), point and shoot compact cameras, camcorders, smartphones, and camcorders. Each model has its own unique features and advantages. DSLR cameras, for example, offer superior quality images but are heavier and larger than other types. Point-and-shoot cameras are smaller and lighter and often include automatic settings for certain situations. Camcorders offer excellent video recording capabilities, and may also have still photo shooting modes. Smartphones can be small and lightweight and are easy to transport.
Once you've made a decision about the type and model of camera you want, then you must decide whether you want to buy it new or used. Used cameras can be found at reasonable prices, especially if they were purchased within the last few years. Newer models usually cost more as manufacturers invest large amounts of money to develop new technology.
Next, you'll need to buy lenses. Your photographs' quality will depend on the lenses you choose. You can adjust the focal length of the lens to allow you to zoom in on the scene without losing focus. Some lenses have built-in flash units, while others require external flash units. There is a wide selection of lenses available from different brands. Each lens has its own characteristics.
Finally, memory cards are something you should consider. Memory cards store photos taken by your camera. You can store hundreds, thousands, or even more pictures depending on the size of the card. Multiplying your memory cards is necessary if you are going to be taking lots of photos.

How To
How to take pictures in low lighting conditions
Low-light photography is the art of taking photographs in dark or dimly lit environments. It requires special equipment and techniques. The main challenges in this field include controlling exposure, whitebalance, and sharpness. There are two types of low light photography: flash and ambient. Flash photography works best when there is enough lighting around. But if there isn't enough natural light, then you'll have to use a flash. Without a flash, it is possible to get a poor picture if the subject is indoors and not outdoors. If you don't want to use a flash, try shooting at night during the moonlit hours. This will allow you to get nice shadows and colors. Another option is to shoot during twilight. Twilight happens when the sun has set but there is still daylight.
You may also want to experiment with long exposures. You can record images even after the shutter is closed for several minutes. When the shutter remains closed, the camera records only light that falls on the sensor. During a long exposure, this light continues to fall onto the photo sensor. The shutter was not opened, so no new light entered the lens. The result is that there is very little movement. You can ensure clear images by turning off automatic settings such as autofocus or autoexposure. Adjust the ISO setting before you start to shoot. An ISO setting of 200 will give you more control over the brightness or darkness of your image. When you're ready for the shot, press quickly the shutter button. This causes the shutter to close completely. You should then hold down the shutter button for as long as possible. By holding down the shutter button, you prevent additional light from entering the camera. Wait a few seconds after you have taken the photo before you release the shutter button. This allows your camera to process the picture. While the image is processing, you can see your photos on your computer monitor. Once you are satisfied, save them on your computer.
