I’m not going to insult you by teaching you how to put a battery into a camera. That’s something pretty much anyone can do without help. As long as you follow the diagram and put the batteries like it shows there, you’ll be OK. What I am going to teach you here is how to boost the battery life, since taking photos can be taxing even on the best digital camera batteries.

Currently, there are three cameras which are said by many to be the most popular, powerful, and rated digital cameras.

Firstly, there is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1. As you can probably guess, being the top rated camera, it comes with a pricey tag. Nonetheless, this is true. The camera goes for around $700, but buyers do get their “bang for the buck”. First of all, the camera is very compact. This is something many buyers look for, as it is easy to carry around with them.

The camera, though not as good as some of the DSLR, can take amazing pictures with great detail and quality. It consists of 14-45mm lens, one of the best in the market. It also has an extremely fast focusing speed of 0.40 seconds. Aside from its specs, the camera has a very unique and pleasant look and style.

Depending on the charger, some batteries will be charged quicker than others. The package of the charger should indicate how fast it works. But, if you want a battery to recharge faster, you will probably pay more for it.

Even with its compact size, it still has very good zoom quality. Though it is only 9 megapixels, it will give photo takers the detail they want, just like a 14 or 15 megapixel camera would. The camera also has features including auto white balance, making it great for indoor photo taking. It is a great camera for beginners, whether you are taking pictures as a hobby, or for a soon-to-come profession.

Last, but not least, is the Pentax Optio W60 at a price of approximately $280. Even though a bit pricier than then Canon Powershot above, many say it is not as good. Though, the Pentax has a few benefits that do not come with other cameras. Firstly, the Pentax is a water proof camera. Now, many will think that water proof cameras do not take good quality photos.

All digital cameras show a battery icon on their screen, which tells you that everything is OK when it’s full and that you will run out of battery juice when they’re almost empty.
