In today's technologically-savvy world, we enjoy choices that weren't as diverse even 10 years ago. For example, wireless phones can now text, surf the Internet and even take pictures. But if taking pictures by cell phone, beware the quality, which can oftentimes be dismal.
If you desire to take quality digital pictures while conserving space, then small digital cameras are the ticket. Many of today's digital cameras are as small as, if not smaller, than your wireless phone, and will offer you benefits that a traditional cell phone camera can't.
Resolution will determine how detailed your pictures will turn out. The higher the pixels of the camera, the clearer your images will be. Lack of depth and grainy images are what you can expect from cell phone cameras due to the low resolution of those cameras. If you're used to trading images via email, then you'll be satisfied with a camera that offers between 6 and 7 megapixels (6 million to 7 million pixels). With the added bonus of a flash on small digital cameras, your pictures will turn out crisper and clearer than cell phone pictures.
Cell phone cameras also lack image stabilization. The smaller the unit, the more it will respond to the slightest shake or jar, resulting in blurred images. Image stabilization is available in many pure small digital cameras, a feature formerly found on larger, more expensive models.
While they're probably easier to drop due to size (pulling one thing out of a pocket, and catching the camera accidentally), the manufacturing of small digital cameras has advanced to a level where there's very little worry about damaging them. Materials and manufacturer's warranties should comfort the buyer and not necessitate the purchase of an extended warranty.
Remember, however, that sacrificing in size may mean sacrificing in other ways, too. Battery life may be shorter, zoom options may be limited, and user interface options may be reduced.
