That??™s not always the case,
though, as you can see in Figure 1-12. This camera uses a button??”the one with the star??”to
change the resolution without resorting to a menu system.
And don??™t forget that the best camera in the world is the one you actually have with you.
That means that small is usually better than big; even if a somewhat bulky camera seems to have
a great assortment of features, a smaller, sleeker model that actually fits in a purse or pocket
might be a better bet.
You need to take the time to review your camera manual to find out how to operate all
your camera controls. Without knowing how your camera works, you can??™t really learn to take
great pictures.

The Truth about the Upgrade Race
Do you need to get a new camera next year just because the megapixel bar has been raised??”
or some other cool new features have surfaced?
No, you don??™t. Just like your desktop computer, a digital camera isn??™t obsolete just
because a new model came out with more. It??™s only obsolete when it no longer does what
you want it to do. Find a camera you like and stick with it.
