Finding the right digital camera for you

If you're looking for a digital camera, but are feeling a bit lost faced with so much choice, read our tips to help you find a camera that suits you and your needs.

A lot of the information available online is too technical and can be difficult to understand. The main differences in digital cameras are the range of features on offer.

There are three main categories of digital cameras: compact, bridge and SLR.
- Digital Compact Cameras
- Bridge Cameras
- SLR cameras

Compact cameras are the most popular means of taking digital photos today. Designed for everyday use, these cameras are lightweight and small enough to fit into your pocket, meaning you can take them with you wherever you go and capture all those special moments. They're easy to use and adapt to most conditions, whether you're taking a portrait shot, shooting landscapes or capturing the action at a party.
There's a wide range of compact cameras available on today's market, so whether you’re a snap-happy user or an experienced photographer, you’re sure to find one that suits your needs. Keep in mind that there are two types of compact cameras: digital compact cameras, and ultra compact cameras. Ultra compacts are sleek and lightweight, making them ideal for photographers on the move! All the best-known brands offer digital and ultra-compact cameras, including Samsung, Kodak and Sony – and they can all be found on Pixmania.co.uk!


As their name suggests, bridge cameras fill the gap between digital compact cameras and SLR cameras. Offering more features than digital compact cameras, they are nevertheless smaller than SLR cameras and easier to carry around. Just like compact cameras, bridge cameras come with an electronic live-preview viewfinder and a non-interchangeable lens with a zoom that goes up to 20x! Bridge cameras answer the needs of all types of photographers, including professionals.

We have a large range of bridge cameras on offer from all the biggest brands, including Panasonic, Canon, Fuji and more!

SLR cameras are aimed mainly at professional photographers. They have wide optical viewfinders and a host of other fantastic features that aren't available in compact or bridge cameras. With a large choice of shooting options, you're guaranteed exceptional image quality and unrivalled precision. What’s more, SLR cameras allow you to take up to 800 photos on a single charge. All the best-known brands offer bridge cameras, including Pentax, Canon, Nikon and Sony.

Digital cameras are becoming increasingly accessible in terms of budget and technology. The products featured on Pixmania’s website have been chosen based on their price and what they have to offer. Whatever your budget, you’ll find a camera to suit you without breaking the bank!
