Are you confused by the welter of digital camera choices and all the new innovative features offered? Amazon.com has a great tool for sorting that all out with a minimum of effort on your part. Just go to the website and click on cameras, then go to the feature “Find Your Perfect Digital Camera.” There you will plug in (from a drop down list) the brand desired, the megapixels you want, the optical zoom size, the display size, and the price range, and Amazon will display all cameras that fit your criteria automatically.

If you are unsure about any of the variables, you can just leave them blank and still get a good selection of cameras to browse. A search with the variables “Sony,” “5.9 Megapixels or less,” and price range $25-$50 brought up no fewer than 19 different digital camera choices, led by the Sony MVCFD 75 Mavica .3 MP digital for $39.98. Try it. It’s a fun and easy way to learn what’s out there
