There was a previous post, One year anniversary gift for boyfriend: Digital Camera, where I discussed about buying a digital camera for your boyfriend or husband to commerate the beginnings of taking beautiful pictures with your boyfriend or husband.

However I guessed that many ladies are not technological savvy, so it’s important to have a little guide that does not kill your brain cells.

The above digital camera video tutorial for shoppers is chosen because of its simplicity. If you really are into full details concerning how to choose a digital camera, do give me a comment and I will give post up a better boyfriend gift guide for you.

Boyfriend Gift Guide: How to choose a Digital Camera?

There are further advices from me in choosing a good Digital camera for your boyfriend or husband.

1. Megapixels hype

Don’t be too concerned with exactly how many megapixels does a digital camera have, as today’s camera capabilities are generally very capable with megapixels.

An effective rate of 10 megapixels is good enough for most casual users. That’s because our eyes aren’t so sensitive enough to detect improvements in pictures that are beyond 10 megapixels, unless you are doing a gigantic poster or something.

I learned this during the course of my studies in university.

2. Lenses quality

Rather, focus on the size and quality of the digital camera’s lenses. The quality and size of the lenses can affect the picture’s outlook more than the megapixels. Ask your friendly camera shop attendent about introducing an optimal camera with good lenses.

3. Find out what are your boyfriend’s or husband’s expectation of a digital camera.

This differs for different people.

For myself, I am not looking into photography as a hobby, so a decent digital camera that I can keep my memories of my girlfriend and me with, will be good enough.

This is true for many guys, and it is wise to choose a convenient camera that is not too bulky or heavy.

However some guys are into photography, so getting a Digital SLR will be better, and for that it is wiser to check up some guides on how to choose a Digital SLR, as it is more catered for professional use.

As this post is a bite-sized boyfriend gift guide, do let me know if you want to know more about digital cameras, and I am more than willing to do a little research for you.

Final Words for this post

That’s all I have to share with you today on boyfriend gift ideas.

I will try to find promotional deals that you can buy online for your Christmas shopping, gifts that you can give for your boyfriend or husband. I am looking forward to it.
