The point and shoot camera is the easiest camera to use and all you have to do to start snapping photographs is, as the name suggests, point the camera at the subject and press the shutter button.

Point and shoot cameras have a range of automatic modes for specific subjects. All digital point and shoot cameras will have a landscape mode, macro mode, night time mode, sports mode and a general mode. All you need to do is select the right mode and the camera will work out the best aperture/shutter speed/ISO settings to get the right exposure. It is possible to make some minor adjustments and tweaks to the camera settings, but you can't do too much.

A point and shoot camera is perfect for children and those people that are totally new to photography. With a point and shoot camera you don't have to worry about setting the camera up for the right exposure and can concentrate on capturing the image you want. So, the point and shoot camera can easily be described as the best digital camera for beginners.

If you want a bit more control over the exposure and want the ability to adjust the shutter speed, ISO and aperture but still want one of the best camera for beginners I suggest you take a look at the high end compact digital camera.

All the major camera manufacturers produce a high end compact camera or two, so it doesn't matter whether your preferred brand is Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Samsung, Panasonic or anything else, there will be the perfect camera out there.

If you are looking for the best digital camera for beginners that is small, light, has the ability to change lenses and is capable of capturing professional quality photographs the four thirds camera is something you should consider. The four thirds camera has the same sized sensor found in entry level digital slrs, therefore they are just as powerful but don't have the bulk.

Four thirds cameras have increased in popularity in recent times, and when you take a look at the specification of these cameras it is easy to see why. Having the power of a digital slr camera in a body that you can take everywhere with you is very appealing, and the fact you can buy different lenses makes it even more so.
