A hobby for photography has only recently caused a stir among young people. Literally every second tried to save money or take on credit a huge professional camera. Passions have calmed down and now the usual, more modest, variant again regained its popularity. If you do not have a digital camera, we will try to choose it and determine which one will suit your case.
What are the parameters for choosing a digital camera model?
We begin with the purpose of purchase. First, ask yourself how often you will use it, whether it's just a photo from a meeting of friends, or trying to do something more artistic. It is the purpose of buying a camera that will help to choose the model of the digital generation correctly, since paying a lot of money for unnecessary bells and whistles is a waste of money. There are several basic types:
- The budget option is the most affordable, but it has few opportunities (it is good for occasional use and cases when special effects are not needed);
- the so-called compact class is something like the golden mean: the dimensions and weight are very small, but there are enough opportunities for high-quality shooting of walks and various events;
- there is also an ultrasound, more in size, but more suitable for a novice amateur photographer;
- there is also a creative option, namely models with manual adjustment of the shooting mode, greater possibilities, this option is closest to professional mirror .
How to choose a good digital camera for an amateur?
Immediately specify the moment with the criterion of choice. Here we will omit all the important details for shooting pros and touch only on the main characteristics. And in fact the main characteristics are not so many, and they are all standard for any digital camera:
- Matrix resolution. In pursuit of pixels and the maximum resolution to catch up with the same quality, we can not. Yes, more pixels - higher quality. But you can see the real difference only on a very large printed photo. And usually this format is 10x15. So it's impossible to choose the right model based on this characteristic of a digital camera, since the difference in the images is not significant.
- Often, it is advised in this case what is the preferred type of matrix for a digital camera, its size.
With the type of everything is simple: well-known firms have long chosen for each model and in the case of amateur devices it does not matter. But the size will have to be determined seriously. More size - more sensitivity. If there are many pixels, the matrix is small, as a result, there will be a lot of so-called noise on the photo. Therefore, we are looking for an ideal balance of size and resolution. - And finally, you can choose a good quality digital generation option for the amateur, depending on how often you have to shoot distant objects from the camera. In general, it is desirable to look for models with optical zoom, as it is more reliable.
