There are those that have a resolution of 3 to 4 million pixels while some bigger ones have 4 to 5 million pixels. Here are some types of digital cameras you may find:

• Point and shoot cameras: In the past photographers had to deal with 35mm SLR cameras. The only problem with these cameras that they were big and bulky. So photographers just used a point and shoot camera, since these were easy to carry. The pictures from these cameras are not as good but you can take these cameras with you anywhere.
• Prosumer cameras: These cameras have higher resolution and also have a through-the-lens (TTL) feature that helps to focus the camera. These cameras usually produce up to 8x10 size pictures.
• Professional cameras: If you have money to burn in your pocket, you can always go for a professional camera. These cameras are based on the SLR design a features resolutions that reach up to 12 million pixels. These cameras usually costs around $1500 to $8000.
