I have been a fanboy of my iPhone and an envious iPad wanter for some time but to take the plunge into buying a true Apple computer. That is a big choice. I haven not used a Mac since high school.

Digital cameras are amongst the most sought after gadgets. Right now, there are hundreds of digital camera manufacturers, offering thousands of models and with the vast array of digital cameras, it is often difficult for the consumer to pick the best model that he or she can afford.
