The digital cameras available in the market are
basically divided into two categories. One is a standard digital camera and the
other is a digital SLR. With these standard cameras, it is possible to take all the
pictures taken with no skill at all. Skilled photographers, however, will love
the DSLR, as there is a chance to showcase their skills.
Cameras from all the world's best brands are now
available and some popular brands are Canon, Nike, Sony, Olympus, Kodak, and
Samsung. The Canon has two point-and-shoot cameras. One is the Power Shot
series and the other is the Ixias series. Sony's point-and-shoot camera is a
cyber-shot series. These camera brands are popular worldwide. Sony has used these
cameras with lenses made by world-renowned lens maker Carl Joyce.
Let's know what kind of camera you need:
1. Megapixel: Nowadays we hear a lot about
'megapixel'. Any digital image is created with numerous small coloured
quadrupole-shaped partitions. These are called pixels. You can see these
quadrilaterals if you want to enlarge any digital image near your hand. This is
5 megapixels with
5 million pixels.1 million pixels
is 5 megapixels. But
how many megapixel cameras do you take? It will depend on whether you print the
picture, or watch it on the big screen and send it to others in the email. The 3-megapixel camera image is enough for collecting photos on email, blogs, websites and CDs
/ DVDs.
2. Picture quality:
As the image sensor is larger on the DSLR camera, the pixel size is also larger and
the camera can be used at ISO faster. As a result, the shutter speeds up faster
and the amount of grain is reduced. So digital cameras can take good quality
pictures in daylight, DSLR can take pictures in all conditions because of its
manual control.
3. Price: As the cameras of the smartphone are getting
better day by day, the price of DSLR has dropped drastically. In the Asian
subcontinent, especially dslr price in
bd, the price of DSLR is almost as same as a smartphone or maybe less than
a smartphone. Now, one can get a Digital SLR for only 20K bdt or $250.
4. Adaptation-oriented: The ability to change the lens
of a DSLR camera opens the door to photographers' endless possibilities. Many
high power lenses such as wide-angle or super long focal length lenses can be
fitted with DSLR cameras. Also, accessories can be used in DSLR cameras. It is
important to note that the lens varies in quality. The quality of the lens has
a huge impact on the image quality. Hey, there is no chance of changing the lens
of ordinary digital cameras.
5. Speed: DSLR camera speeds are relatively high in
terms of start-up, focusing and shutter lag. But standard digital camera
sometimes it is called point and shoot camera works slowly comparing to DSLR.
6. Optical Viewfinder: DSLR cameras can capture
standard images due to reflex mirrors. And digital cameras only have LCD so the
picture quality is rough.
7. Greater ISO Range: Although the ISO range varies
depending on the quality of the camera, DSLR cameras generally provide a wider
range of ISOs, allowing them to be easily photographed in different
environments and lights.
8. Manual control: DSLR cameras offer full manual
control. Although it has an auto mode a good photographer always sets the
modes according to his/her choice. Standard cameras are mainly for auto mode
because it is designed for novice users and for fun especially.
People nowadays love to explore the world and by
having a camera, they are able to capture the moments they like. As mobile
cameras tend to work as a DSLR, it is thought that the need for DSLR is at
stake. However, the number of professional photographers are rising and it can
be said that in future, Digital SLR will remain the same and with upgrading
technology, the importance of DSLR will rise.
