About Us
First, we would like to welcome you to our site and answer the second most frequently asked question, yes there really is a Steve. He has over 35 years experience in photography and this website is his way of sharing his love of photography with others, by providing reviews of digital cameras. Our reviews are written in plain speak and introduce our readers to the world of digital photography in an effort to inspire the inner photographer in each person.
Our staff prepares our content at a fever pitch so that our site can be your best resource for anything about digital cameras.

Steve's Digicams was created in early 1997 in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida and since then we have often considered making major site changes to make it "flashier" -- we finally opted to do this in an effort to keep our site fresh, but it's still accessible to everyone. Perhaps you remember our classic design off to the right. We know many people bookmark pages on our site, so for that reason we do not remove any content we have previously posted.
The most popular question in our mailbox asks what camera a visitor should purchase. We feel that choosing a camera is a personal choice, with many factors to consider. We prefer to provide comprehensive reviews and then let the consumer decide which camera best fits their needs. We do however provide a page called The Best Cameras which is kept updated with those cameras that we feel offer the consumer with the "best bang for the buck" in several popular categories.
Our Discussion Forums (message board) section provides an opportunity for our visitors to interact with other digital photographers. Join our Forums or just visit as a Guest - we can assure you there will be many lively discussions going on about whatever topic interests you. At the time we published this update to our About Us page we had 101,193 registered forum members, about twice as many Guests, 144,537 topics, and 907,189 posts.
Which brings us to another frequently asked question -- where to buy a camera. We have joined forces with a comparison shopping site, PriceGrabber.com. Within each of our reviews is a shopping box for each the US and the UK and we display real time the price and the top 8 - 10 stores offering the product. By using the link we provide, you are not only helping to support Steve's Digicams but you are also able to shop the price of a camera or accessory at 50 different stores with a single mouse click! Our Compare and Buy link gives our readers the opportunity to sort through the current cameras on the market by various search features. The resulting list has links to the current pricing and availability.
Seasonally we have pages posted on our Extras section for Industry Event coverage (CES,PMA, and Photokina) and for our Holiday Wish List. The Holiday Wish List is generally posted sometime in October through the end of December and gives our readers a look at the digital cameras and accessories available at various price points.
Are you looking for our Photo of the Day Archives? We are currently implimenting a creative solution for navigating our photos on the new site design. While you wait, head over to our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/stevesdigicams) and check out the last 3.5 years of photos! You don't need a Facebook account to do it, but if you do have one, leave some comments on the photos you like the best.
So, having said all of this, once again thank you for visiting our site and for your interest in finding out more about us. Feel free to email our Content Manager ..Mike.. Please do not ask us to choose a camera for you!
