Hi I am June and I am a photography nerd. Many friends are asking me what to think of when buying a new camera. Hence I decided to write a guide about the most important features you need to know when buying the best digital camera, or DLSR.
Enjoy!
Megapixel Resolution
The amount of pixels decides the size of the picture and its sharpness, particularly when printed. The more pixels, the better the final result will be. You can easily convert a high-quality picture to lower quality on your PC, however you can't go from low to high. The main questionf ro yuo: know how your photos will be used. Then go from there.
The Display
Nothing is more basic than the ease of use of your cameras. Since it comes with a mix of physical gadgets and on-screen menus, an advanced camera's interface can be more overwhelming than that of a personal computer. At any rate, invest some energy in learning the ease of use before buying it.
Optical Quality
The optical nature of the camera's focal point adds to picture quality. Likewise, the shading and geometric precision of the pixels in the CCD or CMOS sensor combined with the camera's inner circuits have a significant effect. Details on paper are insufficient, and reviews from photographic sites are the way to go here.
Optical versus Digital Zoom
The optical zoom is the real resolution of the focal points. The digital zoom is just a computerized zoom of the pixels. The higher the optical number, the better. A 10x optical is far better than a 10x digital.
Storage Capacity
SD cards, CompactFlash and Memory Sticks are the "digital film," yet regardless of which type the camera utilizes, the one that accompanies the camera is usually undersized. Plan on acquiring a bigger one when you purchase the camera.
Transfer Data
DSLRs has a USB link for exchange data to the PC, and numerous PCs has at least one memory card openings. Printers may likewise accompany card spaces, enabling you to print your photographs without utilizing the PC by any stretch of the imagination. Wi-Fi is additionally accessible on certain cameras.
Battery Life
Digital cameras has either battery-powered or standard AA batteries. It can take an hour or more to charge a battery, so having an extra, completely energized battery is suggested. AA batteries can be bought anyplace, and battery-powered AA's can likewise be utilized.
Lenses
DSLR cameras are the advanced cousin of their simple forerunners and may utilize the equivalent removable lenses that you officially possess. Be that as it may, the sensor chip might be smaller in size than a 35mm edge, which means your 28mm wide point focal point may capacity like a 42mm focal point. Focal points made explicitly for the Digital SLR don't have this central length confuse. See DSLR.
LCD Screen and Viewfinder
Simpler cameras has a "live see" LCD screen to take pictures, and show the stored pictures. Advanced SLRs have a customary viewfinder that you press your eye against for taking pictures and for the most part has an LCD as a screen to show the taken photo.
The viewfinder has consistently been best for taking pictures, since squeezing the camera against the eye really steadies it. It likewise enables the picture taker to outline the image. Also, sharp daylight can wash out a LCD, making it hard to see the picture.
Thanks for reading!
