AboutSnapsort

What can you do at Snapsort?

Knowing which camera to buy is complicated. Snapsort's goal is to make it easier and faster for you to figure out which camera is right for you.

Snapsort can help you:

• Find cameras based on their features, and discover what features are important to you, for example see all the compact cameras, with a touchscreen, that shoot HD movies.
• Compare any two cameras and easily see the differences
• Learn about the specs, features and jargon of digital cameras
• Get recommendations on which camera to buy within your budget
• Research individual cameras, understand their pros and cons, find top competitors etc

How is Snapsort different?

• Snapsort is camera comparison machine, constantly comparing cameras, so its advice is always up to date
• Snapsort has all the latest cameras, not just the ones sold in any particular store
• Snapsort isn't biased towards one camera brand or another
• Snapsort provides context-sensitive help, so you can learn as you explore
• Snapsort ranks cameras against your criteria, just for you, whereas most sites only sort by price or title (usually combined with filtering)
• Snapsort's digital camera articles give current cameras as examples, and change as the landscape of cameras changes over time.

Although Snapsort is a startup, and not yet profitable, Snapsort makes money in two ways:

Snapsort sometimes shows advertisements on its website from ad networks, and gets paid for these.

Snapsort's pages include links to shop for products at 3rd party websites such as Amazon. Some of these companies pay every time a link is clicked (CPC), others pay Snapsort a commission only if a product is purchased (CPA). See affiliate marketing at Wikipedia to learn more. Snapsort gives unbiased recommendations and never takes affiliates into account when making product recommendations.
