The hidden costs of buying digital camera

It took a while, 'but I finally owned a digital camera. I can now like all my friends who have a digital camera with you, wherever it seems to be cool. I have a camera at an affordable price that seemed suitable for my purposes. In particular, I bought the Nikon Coolpix L12 resolution 7.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, a 2.5-inch screen LCD and compatibility with all recent versions of Microsoft Windows operating systemSystems.

But this post is not about the camera that I bought, but the surprises that have been associated with the purchase.

I made this morning to spend no more than $ 150 a decent camera that I bought yesterday, at least a few years. I searched the Internet to control a bit ', hold down the price of these cameras, and I was pleased that many find in the price range of interest for me. Shows a defect, however, that a lot of hidden costs thatclaimed when buying a digital camera, which has nearly doubled its price.

What are these costs?

In particular, for $ 150 you can buy the best camera in essence, the models of lower quality. This means that either buy a lot of old technology, or a camera with the terrible information that you and your money for the purchase of photographic memory, rather than cheap, non-electronics cluster name. As a result, I had my eyes for the nextNumber of cameras, the minimum was $ 50 more expensive. The camera I bought was actually from the sale of $ 199.

Secondly, most of these mid-price or less expensive cameras have built in memory, or if they do it is hopelessly too low to provide any data, ie keep your photos. In other words, are not just buying a camera, but you also have to pay extra for a memory card with a capacity of somewhere between 512 MB and 2 GB. Depending on the size to be willing to pay $ 25 or more. IBuy a 512 MB SD memory card for $ 27.

Third, you must pay extra batteries. Sure, the camera comes with a pair of AA batteries in the box, but guess what '. These are just a good time for 10-15 minutes, or in other words, the time taken some photos and upload them to your computer, you need new batteries. So be ready, another $ 20 or more batteries, rechargeable and pay, of course, a battery charger. The power of these short range devices as an optionalIn other words, is not in a box!

The salt to offend, is not even cheap digital cameras are equipped with a carrying case. You have to pay for it. I paid another $ 10 for the stock cheap at the store.

At the end of the day, I spent $ 290 for my new digital camera, had the final price including sales tax. This is almost double the $ 150, I went today to pay tomorrow. I went to several shops and they were all selling the sameCameras at the same prices, so there is simply too much for me to pay at a specific store, I do my duty. Fortunately, the Nikon comes with an automatic 2 year warranty, so do not pay for it.

I am happy with my new camera, but I'm a little 'disappointed with the hidden costs associated with the purchase. I hope that after reading this message, you know what to expect when you make the decision to buy a digital camera for you.
