For the casual photographer, a smartphone is a great device for saving their memories. However, the more experienced photographer tends to prefer a digital camera capable of producing higher quality photos in a variety of environments. While smartphones have had an impact on the digital camera marketplace, K & R Photographics, a camera store based in Ft. Mitchell, KY, would like to share some information on digital cameras worthy of your attention.

If you are currently searching for a digital camera that can outshine the photos you take on your phone, here are a few that might serve you well:

• Canon PowerShot ELPH 350 HS: If you are an amateur photographer who wants to take photos that look better than what your smartphone can deliver, but is also easy to carry around without blowing your budget, this camera is a great starting place for you. For around $200, this camera offers a compact, sleek design that works with a DIGIC 4+ image processor and 20.2 megapixel CMOS image sensor. You can use this camera to record 1080 pixel, full HD video at 30-frames per second. Plus, it can also incorporate Wi-Fi and NFC for connecting with your phone.
• Nikon D3400: Starting out in photography can be difficult with low-grade equipment. Fortunately, this digital camera exists to bridge the gap between high-quality equipment and affordability. For approximately $500, you get a camera loaded with features designed specifically to help beginner photographers become experts. These include a wide ISO range (100-25,600) to help shoot in any type of lighting, a Bluetooth Low Energy feature (SnapBridge) for seamlessly transferring pictures, and a compact and lightweight design.
• Canon EOS 5D Mark III: Expert photographers who frequently like to change up the setting for their photos will adore this camera. At $2,000 you are paying for a camera capable of working under practically any condition, and it’s as high-end as they come. The 22.3 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor makes it the highest resolution model Canon has ever made. Plus, filming is amazing with its ability to shoot 1080/24, 25, and 30 pixel and 720/60 pixel half-hour long clips with H.264 compression.
