The main reason why smaller cameras have better quality is because of advanced sensor and imaging technology available today. The current technologies basically allows the user to take pictures with the same amount of quality and richness through more megapixels, better camera mechanics, denser sensor displays, and other features. That’s not all. What makes the deal so much sweeter with point and click cameras is that the prices for these are continuing to go down. You can practically own a nifty little camera at a lesser, discounted cost.

These great features definitely make a tempting offer. Next time, be sure not to pass an opportunity of taking great pictures simply because you didn’t bring your digital camera with you. Most of the best point and click cameras are sleek, tiny, compact, and can fit in the palm of your hand. You can just practically put it in any kind of pocket in your clothes and basically treat it like a cell phone. If you are a girl, your small camera won’t take up much space in your purse. Try lugging a huge SLR camera within your purse. Well, you get the difference.

Technology is oftentimes paradoxical – the smaller the gadgets, the more advanced features they carry. Point and click cameras are built for better concealment, and often blend very well with the kind of fashion wear one puts on. Many of these small cameras can simply be dropped into a shirt pocket no large than a regular wallet.

If by chance you had taken photographs using those old film cameras, now’s your chance to take pictures that you thought you couldn’t take before because of all the limitations of old film camera technology.

If the picture you want doesn’t work out, well, you can just save space by pressing a few buttons here and there. No more wasted film.

Almost all cameras have a feature wherein you can share your pictures with just a press of a few buttons. Some of the manufacturers even have a dedicated “share” button. They can connect the camera with a computer and when the share button is pressed, the camera software automatically does what you want to do: share it through email, blog post, or on social networking sites. Of course, this feature depends on the kind of software that has been built-in in your camera.
