New York Institute of Photography issues first-ever Digital Camera Buying Guide

From an NYI press release, "The headline in a holiday advertisement for digital cameras reads: 'Cool Cameras. Brilliant Gifts.' The photographers at the New York Institute of Photography agree. The time to try digital photography has arrived. But as digital cameras move into the mainstream, more and more shoppers ponder advertisements with filled with confusing terms such as 'megapixel' and 'digital zoom' along with confusing statements such as '16MB memory card stores up to 110 images.'

"Since more digital cameras will be sold this holiday season than ever before, NYI has issued a Special Report: DIGITAL CAMERA BUYING GUIDE to help the consumer sort out the various features that one might want in a digital camera you intend to give (or get) this holiday season."
