Low cost digital cameras you can use everyday!

Even the cheapest digital camera at PC World is small enough to take everywhere, yet powerful enough to produce great quality pictures! You don’t have to worry about running out of film any more because if your digital camera memory card becomes full you can just transfer the pictures on it to your PC and start again.

Digital cameras are no longer the poor relation of cameras that use film. While lots of professional photographers still use film sometimes, most professional photos you see in magazines or newspapers are from digital cameras.

From cheap compact digital cameras to a semi-professional SLR digital camera (SLR: Single Lens Reflex, which means you look through the lens instead of a separate viewfinder) PC World has some great prices and a fantastic range of digital cameras to help turn your PC into a powerful digital imaging solution.

There's also a great range of cheap digital photo frames and photo printers to help you make the most of your new digital camera from PC World!

Cheap digital photo frames!

A new and exciting way of displaying your digital photos that doesn’t need either a PC or a printer is a digital photo frame. These futuristic devices can display any pictures on your camera’s memory card or on your PC, creating a slide show of hundreds of photographs - all in one amazing digital photo frame!

You can set the photo frame to display just one picture of course, changing it whenever you want. This Philips digital photo frame is powered by mains or rechargeable battery, which is included and has a built-in timer so it can turn on or off automatically when you tell it to!

With a bright 7” display that’s fine in daylight as well as at night, even an inexpensive digital photo frame provides a great display of your photos. And no matter how many photos you display you won’t have to worry about running out of ink or photo printing paper!

Make the most of your digital photos and display them where everyone can see them right away with a great-value digital photo frame.

Make your own movies with a digital camcorder

Digital video cameras (camcorders) turn you into an instant movie producer! The digital video that camcorders produce can be quickly transferred to your PC and edited into shape using software (sometimes supplied with your new digital camcorder).

Unlike digital still cameras, which usually record images on to their own memory or memory cards, digital camcorders need more space for the high quality movie footage they make and use digital video tapes, internal hard disk drives, or mini DVD discs.

Even a cheap digital camcorder records in widescreen format and as soon as you have filmed something, you can usually display it on your TV by plugging the digital camcorder into it.

Can’t decide between a digital camcorder or a digital still camera? You really can get the best of both worlds at PC World with the Sanyo VPC HD1EX, which is both an amazing quality HD (High Definition) video camera and a 5 megapixel digital still camera, but still small enough to take everywhere with you!

Memory cards for your digital camera

Not like expensive colour film that then requires even more expensive processing, digital media or memory cards for digital cameras require no processing before letting you see your images, and can be used thousands of times.

A single 1GB Sony memory stick, XD, SD, Compact Flash or Smart Media card can hold over 400 images (from a 5 megapixel camera). That’s more than 10 rolls of 35mm film used to take and - unlike film - you can use your memory card again and again!

There are many different types of memory card and it’s important to get the right one for your camera. PC World knows the type of memory different brands of camera require and provides a useful easy memory card finder here.

Memory card readers that sit by your PC and accept your camera’s memory card can both free up your camera (you can carry on shooting pictures with another memory card) and offer fast transfer of the images on the card.

Make the most of your digital photos and video

Keep your digital camera or camcorder safe with a proper camera case. Carry extra lenses, spare batteries, or a sturdy digital camera tripod round with you? An Antler leather camera case is just what you need.

Of course a cheap laptop makes a great digital camera accessory, but you can miss out the PC stage altogether if you want and send your pictures straight to a digital photo printer

It’s a good idea to move your digital pictures to your PC so you can email them to friends, keep them safe by copying them to CD-Rom, or so you can edit them.

If you’ve shot digital video footage you’ll need video editing software that helps you edit the best bits together, add music, and burn your own DVD discs. You can watch DVDs you burn in any DVD-R compatible player. Making your own DVDs means you have a permanent record of your best filming and editing work that you can easily share with family and friends.

Movie making and photo editing on your PC

Once your images or digital video footage has made it on to your PC, the fun and creativity has no need to stop!

While many cameras come with some basic or trial software that helps you look at and manipulate your images (rotate them, crop bits out, change the size) other software lets you do much more.

Video or photo editing software packages are available that enable you to do anything from quickly removing the red eyes that flash use sometimes causes, to removing objects that are spoiling your photos - removing whole people even! - or creating amazing special effects to enhance your photos.

Digital video editing can seem complex, but find the right software for editing digital video and it can be as easy as pointing and clicking with your mouse. Movie Edit Pro 11 Plus helps you do everything you need to do to make great home movies, from merging the best parts of your footage to creating professional looking DVD menu pages and titles.
