I Must Be Crazy To Be Spending So Much Time With Digital Cameras

4 August 2009

Who doesn’t want to save some money by finding the best source for really cheap digital cameras? I know I would. The trick though, is to make sure your not sacrificing quality for the sake of price. A truly inexpensive camera is only a deal if it works. And continues to work months and years from the date of purchase. There are of course, at least as many places to find great deals on digital cameras, as there are places to avoid like the plague.

Error on the side of underexposing rather than overexposing in underwater photography. Generally speaking, it’s easier to bring out colors from a darker photo with editing that one where all the color has been wiped out with too much light. While this is a good rule out of the water, it’s worth mentioning here, since underwater photographers often have very strong strobe lighting at their disposal. This better digital slr camera pictures and this cheap panasonic cameras should help with polaroid digital cameras.

One popular choice among photographers who can’t leave home without bringing a lot of gear is the Adorama Slinger Bag. You can carry up to around 10 pounds of camera gear without discomfort, thanks to the waist strap option. The Adorama Slinger Bag comes in six colors: camouflage, black, maroon, navy, green, and gray.

The Olympus Evolt E-410 10 Megapixel Digital SLR and the Canon Digital Rebel XT 8 Megapixel Digital SLR are both right around four hundred dollars.

One very underutilized source for cheap digital cameras is photography discussion forums. These forums are filled with camera enthusiasts of every imaginable level. From full time pros to digital camera newbies.

Have you ever wondered if buying a canon waterproof camera case and jumping into the ocean to snap a few pictures of that beautiful coral reef could destroy your camera? Well, you’d be right to wonder, because it certainly could. Water and digital electronics are a bad combination. At least for the electronics it’s a bad idea . . . the water will be fine ;) If you still think trying it would be a good idea, there are a few simple precautions you can take to improve your odds for a good experience.

The Canon only has a 1.8-inch LCD screen while the Olympus has a 2.5-inch LCD screen. The Olympus has a image stabilizer while the Canon has a multi lens capability. For the money, one would buy the Olympus over the Canon although they are the same price.

An additional precaution you can take is to get flooding insurance. The value of this varies greatly of course with the replacement cost of your camera. If it’s a simple $200 point and shoot, then it’s probably not worth it. A $1800 Canon SLR is of course a different story.
