The casual photographer needs a camera that is easy to carry and
easy to use, so compact and ultracompact cameras make the best choice.
These
digital cameras are the most useful for taking snapshots anywhere,
and can produce nice photos for email, web, or prints smaller than 8x10
inches. When using handheld cameras at slow shutter speeds, or with
high optical zoom, image stabilization (aka anti-shake) will help with
capturing sharper images. There are two types of image stabilization,
optical and electronic. Electronic, or digital, stabilization works by
shifting pixels within the image frame to interpolate sharpness.
Optical sharpness is attained by physical movement within either the
camera body or the lens element, which compensates for handheld
shaking. Of the two, optical is generally considered more favorable by
most photographers.
