Today's digital cameras come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from super simple cameras built into your cell phone to high tech monsters. All do the same basic thing, capture an image. Some produce a better quality image than others and give you the ability to manipulate the image, but you can use any type to do the job. Here's a breakdown of features and limitations:
Camera Phone
Point and Shoot Cameras
Single lens Reflex (SLR) Camera
Use a camera that fits you. Don't use one that's to complex unless you want to learn its functions or are willing to get instruction.
It is important not to totally rely on your high tech equipment to do all the work--it is just a tool. You are the artist and the camera is paintbrush and canvas.
