Digital photography has become more and more popular. This is due to affordable prices in digital cameras, computers, and memory cards. Digital photography made photography so simple that everyone has the potential to explore and maybe become a professional photographer! Plus, you can review your shots instantly and if you do not like the results take another shot. Digital photography starts with the digital camera and this comes in many forms and sizes. Below are some classifications of digital cameras:
- Ultra Compacts Digital cameras that are small, has less features, but not necessarily lack in the mega pixel department. Also these cameras have smaller buttons and view finders making them uncomfortable to use for big hands. But are great for carrying in pockets and handy if you want to shoot anytime.
- Compacts Bigger than the ultra compacts and may have better features and control. Control in shooting modes since compacts have more shooting modes. Best for point and shoot photography.
- Advanced or High Performance Compacts Catered for amateur to professional photographers with more control and features than a compact. Control in shooting modes as well as manual control on aperture and shutter speeds, maybe interchangeable lenses, higher optical zooms, and possible options on external flash.
- DSLR or Professional DSLR stands for digital single lens reflex and are the standard for professional photographers for now (mirror-less cameras are available and might replace DSLR). These cameras have the widest of accessories with the ultimate control in every shot taken. Lenses are interchangeable, with external flash, filters for lenses, and simple put a lot of things can be done with professional cameras. Keep in mind that the cost for these cameras are high and should be bought if you are in it as an amateur or professional. If you are just in photography for point and shoot pictures (like family shots) than stick with ultra compact, compact, and maybe advanced. Otherwise, a DSLR is overkill in price and features.
As mentioned DSLR are the most expensive cameras, but have mid-range options that cater to amateurs. Advanced are also in the mid-range price tags, with compacts and ultra-compacts in the low price range. Compacts and DSLR cameras that are priced mid range are the ones that are making digital photography popular. Memory cards have also become cheaper and larger in capacity that you can store hundreds of pictures on them and in some cases thousands of pictures. Also they are reusable. If you compare that with a 36 shot film plus development than you would definitely go with memory cards since they cost less in the long run. Then do not forget computers. What is a digital camera without computers? Computers are where you dump your pictures from your memory card and from there you can burn them on CD, back them up on USB flash disks or external hard disks, share them through the Internet, or process your pictures for development. With post processing software like Adobe Photoshop CS, Adobe Photoshop elements, open source photo editing software GIMP, and many more. Enhancing and correcting photographs has just become a lot simpler. Not to mention the storage sizes reaching terabytes, cheaper prizes, and have become more powerful. With everything pointing to a digital photography evolution, DigitalPhotographyChris.com is here to help make better digital photographs and capitalize on that.
