Digital Cameras - Looking for a Good One?
Everyone knows there are two kinds of digital cameras:
- The basic ones costing between $130 and $300 often defined by the megapixels it can capture in a picture. The higher, the better (or so the common wisdom goes);
- dSLRs or Digital single lens reflex cameras costing over $350 up to thousands and defined by more than just mega-pixel capability.
Most people do well by just buying the first kind - the basic digital camera. Most of these cameras have short video clip capabilities and memory ports to plug in extra memory modules (remember digital cameras eat a lot of memory) and thereby maximize the number of pictures you can take. Popular cameras of this type include the Kodak digital cameras which come highly recommended for their large view screens, ease of use and customer support and accessories available. Others like the Olympus are also very good cameras and will suit the needs of most families and general hobbyists just fine.
The dslrs are primarily designed for the serious hobbyist or professional photographer and take a lot more study and diligence in learning how to get the most from them. They are certainly worth their weight in gold if you’re trying to make money with them.
Oh, did I mention that it’s also possible to make money with the standard digital cameras too? Yes it is but a dslr with their lense interchangeability make it by far the better of the two choices when you’re serious about taking macro shots or telephoto pics or just good tack sharp photos in dark or light settings.
