Highly innovative organizations such as Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Kodak and many others who have been highly acclaimed brands when it comes to photography, introduced and continuously reinvented the digital camera and its functionality to a wide range of photographers. These organizations have ensured that they produce digital cameras that can be used by a wide spectrum of photographers. While they have developed high quality feature rich solutions for professional photographers, they have also come up with low cost solutions for domestic users who simply want to capture the moment.

These low cost solutions have provided the opportunity for many users both old and young around the world to experience the power of digital imaging at a lower cost. Inexpensive digital cameras have given these users the opportunity to capture anything they want at any time and cherish these moments for a life time.

The quality of pictures taken using inexpensive digital cameras may not be as high as expected by a professional, but they more than meet the expectations of an amateur user. The pictures taken using inexpensive digital cameras will be of a lower definition. The ability to maneuver the quality of the picture are also limited on inexpensive digital cameras. Latest technology such as face recognition and preset scene modes are normally not provided on less expensive digital cameras. The resolution of inexpensive digital cameras is often lower, leading to a reduction in quality of the image.

Professional photographers will often stay away from inexpensive digital cameras because of the lack of flexibility to take the picture the way they feel is best. An inexpensive digital camera will also be less robust and durable. Photographers looking for quality, longevity and durability in their cameras will be likely to veer away from these low cost digital cameras.

Inexpensive digital cameras while not catering to the needs of professionals will often be more than satisfactory to amateur users who are looking for a inexpensive solution to capture and hold on their memories forever.
