This site is designed to help you save money on the items you have to buy for digital photography.

Whether you are looking for a digital camera, memory cards, batteries, photo software or printing resources, you are presented with a vast range of products and prices and a lot of jargon and technical terms.

Digital photographers range from those who only take a few snapshots in a year to those who make a living from taking hundreds of pictures a day and they all have different requirements. That is why there is so much choice on the market.

Saving your money is not just as simple as comparing prices because that will only tell you the best price for one particular make and model. What you have to know first is which products are best for your own style of photography.

Don’t waste your money

The point is, that if you buy equipment or digital camera accessories with features or performance that is not needed for your type of photography, you will be wasting your money. It’s also the case that if you buy products that don’t meet your requirements you could end up having to replace them, which is an even bigger waste of money (and time).

In general, you will pay more for better performing products but, in some cases, this extra performance will not  make the slightest difference in practice. This site aims to help you translate all the technical jargon and numbers you find into real practical benefits with respect to different types of photography.

Comparing products

The information on the pages of this site should help you to:-

Compare like for like in terms of practical benefit across a range of makes and models.

Spot any bargains or cheaper products whose lack of features won’t affect your photography.

Understand the technical jargon in terms of the difference it makes in practice.

Wide price range

With all the product types mentioned on this site there is a vast difference between the cheapest and the most expensive. We explain why this is and what you are getting for the extra money. This should help you choose the right product and avoid wasting any of your hard earned cash.

Once you have chosen your product, you can go to the resources page, which has useful sites that should help you find the best price for it.

General rules

This site is not about specific items of equipment or whether one model is better than another. That sort of information is available from several places and constantly changes on a day to day basis.

The information here is about the general rules that govern the price of photography equipment and the value of the different features in different situations. It attempts to tell you their practical value so you can work out whether they are worth it for you.

All the information here is the author’s personal view based on years of practical experience. If you have ever wished to reduce your spending on digital photography, then you should find at least some of the information on this site useful.

Enjoy
