Where is the best place to buy a digital camera? Some would suggest online stores have the best prices, while others wouldn't dare to buy anything over the internet. It's true that the internet has it's fair share of scam artists ready to take your money and give you nothing in return.

It is a great time to be a consumer, as long as you can keep up with the onslaught of information and opportunities. There is of course a very simple way to do just that.

The internet is bursting at the seams with information on digital cameras and just about any other product your imagination can dream up. And some you can't ;) The biggest problem with shopping online, is condensing and sorting all the relevant information while at the same time filtering out all the superfluous noise surrounding it.

Let's concentrate on the ultra compact / pocket sized / sub compact digital cameras with nice big LCD screens that take really nice images.

There are quite a few to choose from in this category, as all the big manufacturers like to play in this retail sandbox. Canon, Sony, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus and Kodak all have some nice models here. One of the most popular, has to be the Canon SD1000 Digital Elph Camera.

It's been the number one ultra compact with many of the online retailers for some time now. The Olympus Stylus 790SW brings an interesting twist to this niche with a freeze proof, water proof, and shock proof camera. As if that wasn't enough, it's also available in black, lime, blue, orange, and boring old silver. Its not only tough but fun too.

I've always believed buying the top digital camera today was a mistake. You usually end up paying too much, and are far more likely to end up being a guinea pig for Canon, Nikon, Sony or whomever builds your favorite brand name camera.

I prefer to stay one or two steps away from the bleeding edge. that way you get a proven and tested product, often at a considerable prices saving over the latest golly-gee whiz-bang features of the new models.

The internet and the real world both have advantages and disadvantages when it comes to buying your next digital camera. The best digital camera store, is really the one your create, by merging the best characteristics of both the bricks and the clicks universe.

Savvy consumers really know how to use all the shopping opportunities to their advantage. Time to buy that perfect digital camera, and start taking pictures
