There Is No Substitute For Hands On Experience With Digital Cameras

5 August 2009

Which is nice, but it would be even nicer if you could adjust it. The way it’s designed right now, you can’t.

As we move on to Paris, we also move up the ladder in the digital camera food chain so to speak. Not only in size, buy also in functionality, image quality, and of course, the all important price tag. Paris, is not so concerned in size and portability, but more in the quality of pictures and features her camera can offer. She doesn’t plan to carry her camera just anywhere she goes, but will definitely bring it out for specific occasions . Birthdays, Christmas, vacations, and other holidays are all important events in the life of Paris, as her family grows. She wants to capture those moments on film (or disk these days) and be able to look back on them for years to come. Being a busy mom, Paris doesn’t have time to fiddle with f-stops,aperture settings, and white balance. She doesn’t even know (or want to know), what those things are. Simplicity is still important here.

The A720IS, can’t seem to handle children, or other fast moving objects without manual intervention. Most of the time, you’ll just end up with blurry pictures. Of all the auto settings this PowerShot offers, none seem to have a fast shutter speed.

The small bag should be just big enough to hold your Rebel, a default lens, and possibly a spare battery. That’s it. It’s perfect for the short trips to the beach, the hike, or the nieces birthday party. It also removes the potentially bad decision to just chuck the camera totally naked into the bottom of your backpack with a bunch of other camera wrecking stuff.

For Paris, it’s time to move into a more mainstream point and shoot digital camera. These digitals, often have better lenses (sometimes with zoom), better flashes, good viewfinders, and more menu options with features like face recognition, and image stabilization. Nice digital features, that still fall under the heading of easy to use. Just point and click. Some great cameras in this category would be the Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera, the Canon PowerShot SD850IS 8.0MP Digital Elph Camera, or even the slightly more adventurous Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP with 12X optical image stabilized zoom. The S5 is slightly more money, but still simple to use, has lots of features, and room to grow into. This camera repair techniques and this lowest price digital camera should help with top slr.

Well, I think we’ve established the importance of your money, even when looking for digital cameras. You can, of course apply this thinking to whatever your purchasing, but for this article, looks focus primarily on getting a good digital camera.

Will you be using your camera for portraits? If you find taking pictures of family members, friends, and so on, very amusing, you are a portrait photographer.

One final point on price. I don’t consider it really worth it to spend lots of money on an expensive case. I’d rather sink my dollars into new lenses or filters.
