Smaller cameras are handy, but do they offer the same quality as larger ones?
There are cameras with more than 3.0 and 4.0 megapixels that are small enough to fit in your pocket, so there isn’t a trade–off between resolution and size. Larger doesn’t necessarily mean better, though professional–grade digital cameras that accept attachable lenses and flashes won’t be small enough to fit in your pocket. Attachable lenses and flashes are one of the few things you will have to give up for in–pocket portability. Another is a large LCD viewfinder screen. Larger cameras tend to have larger LCD screens. The advantage to a larger screen is that it can makes previewing and reviewing images (and showing them to friends right from your camera) a little easier. Some, but not all, portable cameras might have lower optical zoom and fewer features that allow you to adjust the shutter and lens to affect light and image–exposure.
