Camera Basics

A camera is a light proof box with a small hole in it; which allows light in.

The simplest camera is a ‘pin hole camera’ which does not have a lens, but just a tiny hole, the ‘pin hole’. These are usually hidden or spy cameras.

The light is concentrated on the light sensitive receptor at the back of the box. In the early days of photography the receptor was a large glass plate coated with chemicals, now it is a small electronic device.

All modern cameras are comprise the same basic components. Whether it is a digital camera or an SLR. Although the SLR cameras have a more complex operating system. (more buttons and features)

Basic components of all cameras

A light proof box called the body.

The lens made of a convex piece of glass or plastic.

A shutter – The device which controls the amount of time that the light is allowed to reach the light sensitive surface.

An adjustable aperture – This controls the amount of light which comes in, and works in conjunction with the shutter.

The light sensitive surface – Either film or a digital sensor

A view finder, so you can see what you will be photographing

A Focusing mechanism – Used to make the image sharp. This is achieved by adjusting the distance between the lens and the light sensitive surface.

Digital camerascapture and store the image electronically, in the cameras internal memory or on an imaging device.

The images you create can be viewed instantly on the cameras LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor on the back of the camera. If you do not like the picture, you can delete it, making more room for new images.

These images can be transferred to a computer for viewing, editing, cropping, and sharing with family and friends.

The image quality of a digital camera is measured in Mega-Pixels (Millions of Pixels). A pixel is a single dot of color, such as you see if you look really closely at your television screen.

Digital cameras range from one mega-pixel, up to around 25 mega-pixels for a professional camera.

As a general rule; the higher the mega-pixel rating is for the camera, the better the quality will be. A 12 MP (Mega-Pixel) camera will be far superior to a 1MP camera.

Having high quality images, enables you to make big enlargements or crop small sections from the image and enlarge that.

If you want a camera to produce good quality prints, go for one of 6 MP or above. If however, you only want to produce images for use on the Internet, a 1 or 2 mp camera will be good enough.

In conclusion when buying a camera determine for yourself what type of digital or SLR will

fit your specific needs. Wether you will be using it for pleasure or in a more professional

capacity.

When it comes to choosing a camera, there are two types you can choose from. It mainly depends on if you want to practice traditional photography or modern photography. Presently, you can choose between a manual camera and a digital camera.

Here are a few tips you will require in order to purchase your camera, be it digital or manual.

Before buying a camera, you need to decide whether you want to practice photography as a hobby or just to pass your time. If you are serious about photography, go for a single lens reflex or a SLR camera. The main difference between a normal camera and an SLR is that the latter gives you the option of adjusting the aperture and the shutter speed. Though this makes the pictures a little more difficult to capture, it can give great results. If you have enough patience, you can create any picture you wish to.

Make sure you consult a photographer and read enough photo magazine reviews. Read and research popular photography magazines to see what their evaluation on SLR cameras is. Make sure you are aware of the various cameras that are available today.

Reading also gives you a few good ideas. It can help you decide whether you want a camera for taking close up shots or one with a flash system and the depth of field that you would prefer.

Camera prices vary, especially when it comes to SLR cameras. The cameras at the lower end are manually operated and give options for automatic aperture settings. The relatively expensive cameras have all these features and more. They are also programmable and have the ability to measure the flash via the camera lens as well as provide greater shutter speed and aperture.

If you are ready to select a camera for purchase, hold the camera, experiment with it, look through it and familiarize yourself with it. Check the focus of the camera. See if you find the controls comfortable and if you find the price suitable. Your manual camera should suite your needs as well as your budget.

If you intend on buying a digital camera, there are a few tips you should follow in order to select the best camera for you.

As with the manual camera, set a budget within which you intend on buying your digital camera. Ensure that you do not spend way above your means. You should be realistic in addition to being open-minded. A camera that is inexpensive need not be low end and an expensive camera need not be high end. Refurbished SLR digital cameras are cheaper than the new ones and have many more features that are not present in the newer versions.

Honestly gauge how experienced you really are at photography and how much skill and potential you possess. If you are amateur, it is perhaps best to settle for a point and shoot camera. But if you intend on expanding your knowledge and experience, choose a camera with many features, control and exposure.

As with the manual camera, you need to read various reviews on digital cameras. There are a number of websites that offer you extensive information on different models of digital cameras. They cater to the needs of both serious professionals as well as amateur hobbyists.

If you know what to look for, selecting a camera is a lot of fun and really easy. Whatever you purchase, make sure that it caters to your needs, requirements and tastes. Don’t just settle for whatever the store person tells you to settle for.

Where are you going today? Are you going alone or together with your friends or family? Don’t forget to bring your camera. Don’t leave home without your camera. A lot of unique thing happen in the street. You can capture anything with your camera.

What is your camera? Do you still have your grandfather’s camera? Many people still use SLR (single lens reflection) cameras. A SLR camera is great because you can create photography art. A professional photographer will use both digital and analog camera.

If you go to the city and enter the camera shops, there are not many conventional cameras available now. Most people are preferred to use a compact digital camera. A digital camera is slim, full with features and easy to use. You don’t have to bring a big size camera and film wherever you want to take some pictures.

When you need to buy a digital camera you must think about the price, brand, features, picture quality, mega pixel, services and guarantee, etc. You can choose many brands such as Kodak, Canon, Pentax, Panasonic Lumix, Leica, Casio, Nikon, Sanyo, Samsung, Sony, and other brand. A digital camera starts from 1.3 mega pixels and above 10 mega pixels. You can get a good quality picture from 4 or more mega pixel resolutions. Don’t buy a digital camera below the 4 mega pixels because the picture quality is not so good when you print your photo. Recently, Canon PowerShot, Casio Exilim, Sony Cyber-shot, Panasonic Lumix and other Chinese brand Mikona camera promote 12.1 Megapixel digital cameras. Wow…

The latest digital camera also equipped with face detection technology, high sensitive ISO, anti shake, anti blur, auto focus, internal editing, and other high tech features. Also you can connect your digital camera to view full HDTV 1080p for better images. You don’t have to buy a separate video camera if you are a traveler because a compact size digital camera also equipped with a capability to make a movie. It’s incredible.

Before you make a decision please consider the feature of the camera. Don’t forget to check the brochure and browse the information in the Internet. Make sure that the lenses size, zoom, and flash light, battery life, etc. fits your needs. Ask the shop owner about bonus if you choose a particular brand. Sometime they give some bonuses such as external memory or soft case. Most digital camera also include video capture capability, but make sure that you can make a video or movie with sound or audio. Video without audio is not complete. It’s a great idea if you purchase a digital camera in a promotion season. Digital cameras are now available for both professional photographers and amateur enthusiasts. A professional digital camera is expensive and the size it’s bigger than the compact size digital camera.

For those of us who use a compact digital camera for “casual” purposes, we’ve had the experience of setting up our shot, getting our subjects just where we want them, and then presto; the resulting image shows the top of the head or an arm missing from the scene.

What occurs in these instances is a frustrating phenomenon known as “parallax error”. Stated simply, it is the result of the camera having one lens through which the camera focuses and records images and another lens through which the photographer views the scene to be shot. The two views are not identical and thus, the image that results is not always as we envisioned it through the viewfinder. This error is most pronounced when shooting at close range; such as in most “portrait” type shots.

Even those of us who are amateurs can avoid “parallax error” by one of just a few methods.

• Use the correction marks. Many digital cameras provide lines that can be seen through the viewfinder which approximate the border of the image being taken to visualize what the lens is truly seeing. The photographer then needs to adjust the shot as necessary. Reading the owners manual will reveal whether a given camera has this feature.

• Use the LCD to frame the shot. The LCD screen better represents the image that the picture-taking lens is seeing. There are limitations however with this method. First, the LCD screen is sometimes difficult to view in bright, outdoor light making it difficult to use in such situations. Secondly, the LCD screen on many digital cameras displays only 85% of what the lens sees which can result in more of a scene being captured versus less The final drawback is simply the extra energy required to operate the LCD. An electronic viewfinder is another option. An EVF takes the image captured by the lens and electronically transfers it onto a display screen.

• Consider the purchase of a digital camera with a TTL mechanism. The parallax error occurs with any TLR (twin lens) camera but not those with a TTL mechanism (through-the-lens). With TTL, the photographer views a scene through the same lens that records the image and is thus able to frame a scene accurately. SLR (single lens reflex) cameras use TTL. These cameras however, are considerably more expensive, bulky and complicated than a compact or traditional point and shoot type camera although for an avid amateur the additional control they offer to the photographer is a tremendous asset.

For the average consumer, a compact or point-and-shoot camera is the product of choice due to their portability and ease of use. Even with these more basic models, use of the correction marks or the LCD screen to frame shots taken at close range can help to significantly reduce any parallax error. For others who may want more creative control and don’t mind a larger and more complicated camera, an SLR camera can eliminate parallax error altogether.

You’ve been snapping away with your nifty little point and shoot camera for a while now and you’ve discovered you really like taking pictures and want to get more creative and have more control over your photos. Naturally the next step is to upgrade to an SLR camera. But which one? There is a ridiculous number of products out there with all sorts of buttons and dials that do this or that. This article attempts to give a brief overview of the things that are actually important when considering which camera to buy.

Firstly, let’s dispel one of the most common myths associated with upgrading equipment. Buying a new camera will not make you a better photographer. Repeat: it will NOT make you a better photographer. Not instantly, not in 2 years time, not in 10 years. What will make you a better photographer is you. Your willingness to learn and develop your skills. Sure a high end camera will give you more control over your image making, but that’s just it; its you controlling the camera, and therefore the end image. Ok, now that we’re on the same track, a few things to think about.

How many megapixels do I need?

We are going to assume that you are looking at digital cameras here, although I should point out that there are some excellent film cameras around at much less expense. So don’t discount film altogether (it’s not dead just yet!). But to answer the question, we first need to answer another: What do you want to do with your photos? If you only want to post your photos on the web, e-mail them or make small prints to put in a photo album, the resolution you need for this is quite low. To give you an idea, a camera with 2 megapixels will create an image that can make a good quality 6 x 4 print (standard photo album size). Most entry level SLR cameras start at around 6 megapixels. Therefore if this is all you want to do with your images, the amount of megapixels does not need to be a major concern. If, however, you want to make large sized prints, you may need a higher resolution camera. While entry level SLR’s often produce very good quality prints up to a certain size, more pixels gives you the freedom of being able to enlarge even further. While image software programs can increase the size of your photos they will lose some quality. Starting with a larger image means that fewer pixels are added by the program and less quality is lost.

Is brand important?

Not as important as some would have you think. While photographers will continue to debate the Nikon vs Canon issue, my belief is that it is a moot point. Both companies produce some excellent products and some pretty ordinary ones. What should be foremost in your mind is build quality. How many plastic parts does the camera have versus metal ones? Metal parts can be replaced, while plastic parts are usually set into a mould and cannot be. Potentially this could mean the difference between having to buy a new part or a new camera a few years down the track. Check how the camera feels in your hand. If it feels solid and sturdy, it probably is. Quality between brands doesn’t differ greatly until you get into the higher end cameras. This is where Nikon and Canon come to the fore and other brands that don’t target this market drop off. However if you decide you don’t need a higher end camera, don’t discount other brands.

What about features?

Cameras come with all sorts of different modes and features. Some of them seem to be included for no other reason than to be a selling point for that particular model. It takes a little research to discern which are actually going to be useful. There are, however, some that you should factor into your considerations. Firstly, what mode settings does the camera have? Many entry level SLR’s have similar settings to point and shoot cameras. I.e. Portrait, landscape, low light etc. While these make things easy, the point of moving up to an SLR camera is to gain more control over your photos. You will never gain the control you want without learning how to use a camera in full manual mode.

Other features, such as a built if flash or cable release socket, may be important to you depending on the type of photography you want to do. If you like to shoot portraits, a built in flash can be a huge help in lighting shadows. If you are interested in landscape photography, you will at some point want to set you camera up on a tripod to capture a low light scene. Using a cable release allows you to press the shutter without actually touching the camera, removing the camera shake that blurs a picture.

One final consideration.

This is possibly the most important of all. Make sure the camera you choose is comfortable and easy to use. Check that you can reach all the buttons easily while shooting and that the dial and menu configurations are logical. This allows you to learn your gear easily so that you can concentrate on the most important thing: taking pictures.

By now everyone is familiar with the term “Megapixel”.  This term is now what is mainly used to distinguish between different digital cameras.  Essentially, the number of megapixels is a measure of the cameras resolution.  “Mega” meaning “millions” and “pixel” is a term that comes from the computer industry (that was first used to describe a computer monitor’s resolution) and is derived from the words “picture” and “element” (Pix-el).  So a 6 Megapixel Camera comes with a sensor that contains 6 million picture elements.

Any digital camera you find on the market today are highly automated with automatic features for exposure control and for focusing.  The days of film are gone and now images are stored on a memory card (Flash Memory).

You have probably noticed the huge number of cameras available and the many different types.  How can you pick from all the different megapixels, features, zoom, etc.  Here are the 4 most important factors in making a decision on which Digital Camera to purchase.

1) Megapixels

Try not to get too caught up in the number of Megapixels offered.  Even though there are cameras available to the average consumer with up to 10 (and even more) megapixels, the normal photographer and even most professional photographers can be very satisfied with even 7 megapixels.

More megapixels does not mean a higher quality photo.  Other factors can be more related to the picture quality such as the lens and other features in the camera.  More megapixels are only required if you frequently crop and/or significantly enlarge your photos.

2) Zoom Capability

First, make sure you know the difference between “optical zoom” and “digital zoom”.  Optical zoom is actually done with the lenses of the camera while digital zoom merely magnify the center of the frame without actually increasing the detail of the picture.  Most all cameras offer at least 3X optical zoom. 

If you opt for more than this, the trade off could be size and weight of the camera.  The reason to select a higher zoom range than the typical 3X is if you will frequently shoot subjects that are at a distance away such as wildlife or sporting events.

Most compact and sub-compact digital cameras have a zoom range higher than 3X (some as high as 7X).  Super zoom cameras typically have zoom range above 10X.  For SLR cameras the zoom is completely dependent on the lens that is mounted on the camera.  Most SLR’s come with a lnes to allow up to 3X magnification.

3) Full Control or Automatic?

A compact digital camera that is fully automatic that has at least 3X of optical zoom will meet most people’s camera needs and even the needs of the more serious photo hobbyist.  If you tend to shoot more photos of sports and/or outdoor subjects such as wildlife and nature in general then you may want to steer more toward the Digital SLR (DSLR) cameras.

The DLSRs offer the most flexibility in lens selection and manual features that allow the photographer to manipulate the exposure time as well as the aperture settings.   Also, DSLR cameras offer a wider range of ISO settings (think light sensitivity) to allow shooting in lower light situations then the standard compact digital camera.

4) Brand

Typically most brands offer similar features at similar price points.  But some things to keep in mind that are known within the photography community; Kodak is on the front edge of offering simplicity and ease of use for the photographer while Fujifilm offers image sensors with proprietary technology that give excellent image quality.  Canon, Nikon and Olympus offer an amazing wide range of cameras that would satisfy any type of user.

Deciding on a Digital Camera can be tough with all the choices available, but if you can decide on the 4 main criteria described here it should make your decision much simpler and more satisfying that you have spent your money wisely.

One of my hobbies is photography. Now I\’m no professional but I enjoy taking good professional quality photos. I had to weigh up whether to go for a compact digital camera or a Digital SLR. I was fortunate back in the eighties to own a 35mm SLR camera. The picture quality was fantastic. Much better than that of a compact camera. The ability to alter settings and change lenses to pull subjects closer or move them away was far superior to that of the compact 35mm camera.Fast forward to today and not a lot has changed. The Digital compact cameras quality has gained a great deal on the Digital SLR but is still behind, in my opinion.

 Both benefit in the fact you can see the result instantly after the shot has been taken but the DLSR is far superior in the ability to change that shot, on the spot and in so many ways. One thing with the compacts is the lack of depth of field. You take the picture and the whole picture will try it\’s best to be in focus. With DSLR you can have the subject in focus and blur the background which creates very simple but effective results.I use a DSLR – Canon EOS 400D. I have had this for 18 months so has now been surpassed in the Canon range. It doesn\’t have \’Live View\’ which means you have to compose the shot through the view finder. However the newer Canons have this now. It came with a 18mm-55mm standard Canon lens but also in the package was a Tamron 200mm Zoom Lens. I bought a Lowepro Slingshot A100W bag and SanDisk 4GB Compact Flash Card, separately.

Out of the box you can stick it on auto and never leave that setting if you want to. However this defeats the object of having so much power and scope over your shots by using the auto setting. Remember it\’s digital so you can experiment over and over again with different settings until you get it bang on. If you were to leave it on auto forever you might as well buy a compact camera.The clarity of the shot has to be seen to be believed. At 10.1MP you have a serious camera that gives you nigh on professional results. Many Professionals that have the top end of the Canon EOS range at £5,000 plus would tell you different. Remember they have to justify the £5000 plus price tag so they will find the tiniest detail different but to you and me the pictures look near enough the same.

 I went to Turkey in the summer and the pictures I took with my camera I could never have achieved with a compact camera. The scenery was a photographers dream and I managed to fill the 4GB card with top quality pictures. The ability to capture in RAW is also a bonus fo the semi-serious photographer. With RAW there is no compression like with JPEG and it\’s as it says the RAW picture.You have the option to change the white balance when your back on the computer. Yes you can bodge it up when it\’s a JPEG but is no where near as effective as RAW. Give it go yourself.

 The darkroom side of it is up to you. I use Adobe Photoshop. It cost approx £500 but is what the pros use. There are loads of magazines out there with tips on how to use Photoshop but I recommend getting a decent book on it. It is a huge piece of software but you can make dreamy portraits and Andy Warhole popart with a little practice and tuition. There is also Photoshop Elements for under £100 but I understand that this is a scaled down version of the Professional version and would be good for the begginer to intermediate.

 Your friends and family might scoff at you with your bigger camera and bag and some might say \’what do you want all that for when you can get a camera that fits in your pocket\’. Believe me when they see your laptop slideshow through an HDTV they will be green with envy and clambering to copy your photos or even buy them.

 All in all my Canon EOS 400D might be old at 18months old but will be staying with me for some years to come. I can live with shooting through the viewfinder. Maybe your so used to the new cameras that you need to hold the camera out in front of you. The choice is yours.

There are a number of different cameras on the market that can make choosing a digital camera a confusing and difficult process. There are also cameras that are designed for different functions and uses and finding the right one for what you want to be able to do can be difficult.

The first steps to take when choosing a digital camera is to create a list of features that you want. This should be a complete list, so you may want to do a bit of research into the features that are available for digital cameras, in order to get a good idea of what you can do with them.

Once you have determined what you would like to have feature wise for your digital camera, then the next step would be to determine the price range for your camera. You can spend as little as £100 or more for a good digital camera so you will want to be sure to get what you are looking for the first time.

Test the cameras out. There will probably be several that meet the feature list you have created. Make sure that the weight of the camera as well as its ease of use matches with what you want. Even if the camera has all the features you want if it is bulky or hard to manage it is not going to provide you with what you want when it comes to taking pictures.

Canon produces a number of high quality cameras that can provide you with the features you are looking for. Canon has just released its ESO 1000D. This is an SLR camera that gives a 10.1 mega pixel Digital image. It has a CMOS sensor and features that are found on Canon’s more professionally oriented models but at a much more affordable rate. It also comes with a 2.5″ LCD for Live View Mode and a 7 point wide area AF. These cameras are sold as bodies so you will need to purchase the lens or lenses that you are looking for.

The Canon EOS 450D is another model of SLR to consider from Canon. This camera comes with a 12.2 mega pixel CMOS sensor, 3.0″ High resolution LCD screen as well as a new AF system that has a 9 point wide area AF. Due to the fact that is an SLR camera lenses are sold separately.

The Canon EOS 40D is a 10.1 mega pixel camera with CMOS censor, a 3.0″ LCD screen with live mode., It is also a SLR camera so lenses are sold separately and it does come with the new AF system. This camera also comes with a 2.0 USB hi speed connection and a Video out interface.

If you are looking for a serious camera consider the EOS 1Ds Mark III. This camera is a premier when it comes to digital photography. It comes with a 21 mega pixel full frame CMOS, High Precision wide area AF along with a 3.0″ LCD with live action. You can also get 5fps. It is a SLR so lens kits are separate.

In a world of low-priced cameras, it is good to know that are also options for people who take their photography seriously, but don’t have thousands of dollars to spend on a camera. For these photography “purists”, there are SLR Digital Cameras. SLR means Single-Reflex

Camera and the digital versions of these cameras allow the individual to take high-quality pictures using a variety of different lens types.

The following are some important questions that every one considering a digital SLR camera should ask before making this exciting purchase.

Auto-Focus or Manual Focus?

Auto focus SLR cameras provide you with a tremendous amount of convenience when it comes time to snap your picture. However, there are several drawbacks to auto-focus cameras, including:

• Auto focus systems are run by electronics, which can fail you at the worst possible time

• Auto focus cameras burn through batteries faster than manual focus models

• Auto focus cameras can be noisy

• Sometimes the lasers that control auto focus lenses see things differently than they human eye

Individuals who like additional control and customization options may wish to choose a manual focus camera. Manual focus SLR cameras allow the user to control shutter speed, aperture and the zoom focus features. Disadvantages of manual focus cameras include the steeper learning curve and the additional time it takes to properly set up each shot.

Can you auto-preview pictures with a digital SLR camera?

Yes. Digital SLR cameras offer all of the convenient features found in standard digital cameras, including the ability to preview pictures on the camera’s screen, cycle through photos and delete unwanted images and easily transfer photos onto a memory card or computer.

What are the Most Important SLR Camera Accessories to Buy?

Everyone who takes their camera on the road with them should have an extra battery always on hand. (NOTE: Be sure to keep your spare battery properly charged at all times.) Also, a neck strap helps you keep your camera handy while on the go. Finally, a tripod is a great choice for anyone who plans on taking posed or stationary pictures with their Digital SLR.

What are Gray Market Cameras?

When you a buy a Digital SLR camera online or at a traditional camera store, you will either be purchasing a gray market or warranty-covered camera. Both are the actual manufacturer’s product, but gray market cameras are generally not covered by a warranty (and are less expensive as a result).

How much do Digital SLR Cameras Cost?

Digital SLR cameras are available at a wide variety of price points, from $400 to $5000. The price of the camera depends upon the features included and the zoom capability of the lenses. Price may also be dictated by the lens package included.

How much Memory is Required?

Although the amount of memory is a personal choice, experts agree that a one gigabyte card is the most appropriate place to start. A one gigabyte memory card will hold hundreds of even the highest quality images comfortably.

If you have reached the point where you are ready to begin adding custom lenses and accessories to your photographic armory, then you’ll need a digital camera body that is ready to work as hard as you do. The Nikon D70 is an ideal choice.

It is affordable and is compatible with a number of different types and styles of lenses. The software is easy to use and the in-camera editing features let you decide which pictures stay and which ones go while you are in the middle of a shoot.

The Nikon D70 digital SLR camera is one of the most popular digital camera body types because the accessories you can add really increases the usability of the camera.

You can custom-build and supply your own small arsenal of lenses and other accessories by purchasing compatible products online and matching them up with your camera to give it more flexibility than complete packages. If you don’t know too much about digital cameras, you should buy a full set first.

If you’re interested in the D70 digital SLR from Nikon, be prepared to spend around $900 for the body of the camera. After that, you can expect to spend quite a bit more money to add the lens you want, as well as any other accessories to go with it such as a camera bag or memory stick.

The expensive price of the body might seem costly to some that are used to inferior products, but the Nikon D70 digital camera body is a steal if you’re into digital photography and have a passion for it.

Some of the technical features of this camera include:

* 6.1 million effective pixels

* USB mass storage

* Built-in Speedlight flash

* Rapid shutter speed

* Several auto shooting modes, including landscape and close-up

* Built-in lighting system and a 3D Color Matrix meter

If the D70 digital camera body is a lot less expensive than some of the other products that your local dealer may be trying to sell you, make sure you talk to some other photographers. You’ll quickly find that the value of the D70 is real.

You will get high-quality performance for a lower price than other manufacturers are willing to give. If you want to create professional-looking photographs with a great camera, you must consider the Nikon D70.

If you are serious about outfitting your own camera body, then check the product specs for the Nikon D70 at http://nikonimaging.com. As you compare with other digital SLR camera bodies that are on the market, you will find that the Nikon stands way ahead of everyone else’s product.

If want to put together a camera bag that will be as versatile as you are creative, then don’t settle for anything less than the D70.
