Digital Camera--want to know!


What was number 1 in the top 10 tech searches on Yahoo in 2008? Digital Camera wins! Yahoo.com reports: "Never mind your iPods, your iPhones, and your gaggle of video game consoles, it's the humble, generic digital camera that was the top tech search term this year to date. Why? There's a lot of confusion over largely-undifferentiated camera brands, so consumers need a lot of help in figuring out which one to buy, so they search search search. Plus, cameras are relatively inexpensive now, making them good gifts and affordable for personal splurges, too."

For those of you who already have a digital camera, Wood Library offers frequent digital photography/camera classes led by local photographer Peter Blackwood. Our December 13 class is already full, but you can call the Main Floor Desk at 394-1381 to be put on the waiting list for the next class in 2009.

If you are in the market for a digital camera, ask for the Reference Librarian. We will help you track down consumer reviews and ratings so you can make an informed decision about which camera is right for you.
