Is Your New Digital Camera Doing What It Should?
May 31, 2009
These are four marvelous mid-level cameras that consumers should consider buying if they’re semi-pro or are training to become pro.
Plan the event. Think about what you want to immortalize, consider every shot you will take and think of the who’s, where’s and how’s. Design the whole arrangement beforehand, put it on paper if you have to. Don’t improvise and your results will be better.
No matter how perfect the posing setup is, something will go wrong. Don’t count on people not blinking simply because you told them not to. Take 5-6 photos of each pose, so that you have where to choose from. Use additional memory cards if you don’t have enough storage space, or download the pictures to a computer.
No, you can’t spot problems on the LCD screen, simply because it’s too small to show every detail.
SLR-cameras – are bigger than the rest of the models and feature the best tools, amazing image quality and highest low-light capability.
If you don’t have the time to search the market then you should take into consideration the following devices: the Olympus 720SW – $280, a compact and waterproof camera or the Fuji F30 – $265 the perfect indoor camera.
The K200D feels like a bump-up from the K10D; it has a lot of the controls and the sensor found in the late camera. The K200D is also easy to use, with the function button granting fast access to most of the settings commonly used.
Most people don’t know that the number of pixels doesn’t influence the image quality. There are some 3-megapixel cameras that will take great images for the 8 x 10″ format. That’s why any professional will tell you that not the number of pixels but their quality will make the real difference.
Also, when choosing a camera you should pay attention if the pictures are in focus, if the edges of the image are sharp and if the high contrast id well captured.
The camera comes bundled with an image-editing software which you can use for correcting lens distortion. Another nice feature is that in live view, you can see the control panel over the picture, making it easy to make necessary custom changes.
