The best digital camera for a handbag or purse
Make sure you take a look at all of the options and see if they fit your needs and wants. Digital cameras have a lot of functions these days so it is important to make sure your new camera does what you want it to.
1. The Nikon Coolpix S550 10 Megapixels

The Nikon Coolpix is one of the most popular digital cameras at the moment. It is sleek, small and very easy to use. It has a massive 10 megapixels and a really crisp lens. All of the photos I have seen taken on a Coolpix are focused, clean and very tight. It is a perfect option for the handbag or purse.
2. The Canon Speedlite 420EX II

Next we move on to the Canon Speedlite 420EX II. This camera has a very cool outer shell and has 8 megapixels. Many people make the mistake of thinking that more megapixels means better photos. Not always. After about 7 or 8 megapixels there isn’t much of a difference and the quality depends on the quality of the lens and the photographic memory. And the Canon is the best. Perfect photos. This is a good option for the purse!
3. The Olympus Mju 1020

The Olympus Mju is currently the smallest digital camera on the market and thus it is a perfect choice for your handbag. This camera will allow you to carry it wherever you go without bulking up your bag or taking up too much room. It has 10.1 megapixels and 7x optical zoom. It is a great choice for photos of people and faces. Perfect for a night out!
Conclusion
Before buying a digital camera make a list of everything you want it to do and then match that list to a camera on the market. And remember, small doesn’t always mean quality. Sometimes buying something a little bit bigger is a better option.
