Better Pictures With SLR Cameras

The digital cameras are now getting more popular and more people want to buy the digital cameras especially the SLR digital camera. The improvements in the camera offers more people flexibility in their pictures so that they will be able to control the end result.

There are many benefits of buying and using a digital camera but making yourself knowledgeable about it may make you a better user of the technology. Once you know the features of the camera, then you will be able to use it better and make the best of the camera that you now have.

One of the main differences of a digital camera over a film camera is the chance to take more pictures without an additional fee. Digital cameras don't need films. This way, you may take more pictures and enjoy it since you don't need to pay for an extra film.

Also, more digital cameras are user-friendly. The manuals are now easier to understand and you can simply click more pictures. This option can be done since there is a delete button in digital cameras. With the delete button, you may be able to erase the picture that you may not like or those low quality pictures like over or under exposed images. Thus, you don't need to use the memory of you r camera wasted on images that may not be beautiful or interesting enough.

When a professional photographer may want to better control the images, he may do so with the use of SLR digital cameras. These cameras are like the traditional camera wherein the photographer may tweak the settings of the image that he wants to achieve. With SLR digital cameras, you can change the ISO, aperture, or shutter speed of your camera. These settings and more can be manipulated so that there will be more people who can be more creative with their pictures. If you don't want to change the extra features of the camera the automatic setting may still be selected.

Having an SLR camera be it a digital or film allows you to change the lens that you use. Using the proper lens for different subjects will help you achieve a better image. The clarity of the image and other effects may be better once you have the right lens. The conditions wherein you use may affect the image sharpness so you must really be able to use the right lens at right settings and conditions.

With all of these benefits that can be experienced through digital SLR cameras, one may definitely want to jump to buy the camera right away. But before doing so, you must first be able to learn more about the digital world and how to use the camera. When you are more knowledgeable on how to control the settings, then better pictures may be taken. Having an SLR digital camera is a good investment only if you know how to maximize its use and really make the best out of this gadget.

From Film to Digital Photography

People under a certain age will not even know what a camera film is. And every year this number will increase, until at some point in the future no-one know will know (or more likely no-one will care) what is meant by the words "camera film".

I wonder how many people remember the old camera formats, such as 110, where you had the tiny film strip. This is my early recollection of camera film from my youth, that and the other smaller format 126.

More recently there was APS (Advanced Photography System), where you could choose one of three image sizes for your photographs from the same film! Doesn't sound that advanced now does it?

35mm film is probably the most commonly used camera film format now, as it was back in the day. There are larger formats, such as 10" * 8" (commonly referred to as large format), and 5"* 4" (commonly referred to as medium format), which are still used by high end professional photographers, but even these are being replaced with digital versions, similar sized cameras but with digital backs.

It is interesting that in the evolution of photography from film to digital, the 35mm format has pretty much remained a constant. Digital SLRs come with different sized sensors. A full frame sensor is exactly the same size as a 35mm negative would be - 24mm * 36mm.

Why? Any size could surely have been chosen, but what we have is exactly the same as what we had before!!

I will explore this question, which is quite a fundamental one to me in the evolution of digital photography, in a future article.

Digital Camera Tips For Choosing the Best Camera

Digital cameras have been around a long time now, but there are still some diehard 35mm fans out there who have resisted the switch. While 35mm is still perfectly acceptable, it is hard to argue with some of the advantages of digital. Digital cameras allow you to immediately review the pictures you capture, and with the software programs available on most computers, the possibilities for correction and digital manipulation of photographs is practically limitless. There is a lot of confounding information, however, about which digitals are best.

When thinking about a digital camera, you have to be up front with yourself about how you will be using the camera. If you are a professional or a keen photographer, you definitely want to go with Digital Single Lens Reflexes (DSLR). If you currently own a 35mm SLR you will be able to make the switch quite smoothly, and you will probably even be able to use your current lenses with a digital camera body.

The advantages of DSLR include lens interchangeability, high speed facility to photograph sports and other fast action, and a viewfinder that is through the lens. If, however, none of these things matter very much to you, and you just want a simple camera to carry around in your pocket on vacation or at family get-togethers, then what is normally called a "point-and-shoot" will probably satisfy your needs. Be warned. though, that a point and shoot camera with an electronic viewfinder is your best bet. Those with optical viewfinders are frustrating at times in that it is hard to tell exactly what you are photographing, and if you are in bright light the glare will make it hard to see the viewfinder at all!

No matter which kind you choose, going digital is smart. You can take all the pictures you want, dumping any rejects to make room for more, and you can see that same instant what kind of shots you are getting!

Of course, you also have some digital fans who are ready to invest in a newer or more sophisticated digital, but are having a hard time choosing the perfect model for their needs. When it comes to obtaining a new camera, then, it seems most everybody could use a few digital camera tips.

Canon Powershot G11 Reviews - What You Need To Know

This article simply provides the canon Canon Powershot G11 Reviews which are essential for a person who is looking for a personal camera. Reviews for this camera will give the person the exact descriptions and specifications so that he or she can picture the camera on its real state. Through these reviews, he/she will also determine whether this type of camera is recommended by consumers or not.

Getting a glimpse on the Canon Powershot G11, it comes with a solid and high-end characteristic that delivers excellent results. It also comes with a usable high ISO capability that also comes with ergonomic design and an excellent swivel LCD. In addition, this camera also comes with a superb build quality, and a great array of manual controls. Take note that this camera has a sub-par VGA video resolution with a relatively slow performance and a bulky size compared to average compact cameras with only 10mpx resolution.

So what exactly are the strengths of a Canon Powershot G11?



  • Produces excellent results in low light places. This is a camera with a small sensor so when we say excellent, you are not definitely stuck at 80 ISO (this one basically happened to me a lot of times using my previous G10); right now, you can go up to as high as ISO 800 for good quality.


  • Great construction; built for durability.


  • The swivel LCD is a good feature of the G series form. This allows you to move the screen to your own liking. The resolution is really good.


  • I also own a Canon S90 and many of the Canon Powershot G11 Reviews I have read said that the two had almost the same qualities. Well that is a statement that I would dispute. In fact, I just had some tests completed for both cameras. I positioned two similar objects under the same condition and light and my results show that the G11 provided sharper and better details. This is because of the better optics that come with the G11. It may not be a super zoom camera but the optical quality is much better even without chromatic aberrations.


  • Manipulating the manual controls of this camera is done in the most user-friendly way.


  • Transportable and easy to carry. I consider it as the most compact and the smallest among my cameras.


  • RAW: provides me with personal control


  • User-friendly; the user inter face is well-polished and simple to use


What are the weaknesses of the Canon Powershot G11?



  • It comes with a weak VGA video resolution


  • Canon has to trade better high ISO performance by simply reducing the resolution


  • It can be bulky in your pants' or shirt's pockets. But it feels tiny if you hold it


  • Slow lens and slow performance; it is not suitable for taking pictures of fast moving subjects


 

So those are the Canon Powershot G11 Reviews you need to know. Read it once more and then finalize your decision, or see below for more user reviews, videos and specification write-up's on the Canon G-11 and more.
