Photographers often have the same question: "What camera should I buy? And the camera is right for me? "And to my deepest regret, we have no way to answer this simple question! To start, we must clarify for themselves and answer these questions first:
1. Why should I buy a camera?
2. What should I take pictures of?
3. What can turn into reality?
Only and only after answering these questions honestly, you can begin to select the camera so important!
If you only want to load "images" on your computer and share with friends via Internet – requires a different type of camera, and something very different, if you want this job seriously, and that photography "" ;!
Selection algorithm.
Selection algorithm suggests the camera suits your needs, as described below. These steps have been tested several times for me and my friends and you can use for all types of equipment. This is the essence of marketing research.
1. The first step in this process and, most importantly – think deeply in order to buy a specific camera and what type of photos you want to shoot, shoot and what – WARNING! – How often are the photos!
Category of the camera you need to buy depends on the frequency of use!
Fans who take pictures from time to time during the holidays, for example, and fail to 400 shots per year can easily find your dream house in the budget camcorder category.
2. The second step, and no less important. You must determine how much money they are willing to switch to the camera, without your family budget is empty! And not exceed the limits of this sum of money.
3. The third step is likely to take some precious time, but will create an irrefutable information and take the right decision. This step is all about gathering information. You can find tons of information on the Internet these days about the technical characteristics of the particular camera that you want. Then go to the site and find the camera, consider how much money you can spend. You need to take a couple cameras in the range of about the same price. You have to compare with others. Some websites have the possibility of comparison – we definitely need to use this option! At the same time it is necessary to obtain additional information about the selected camera. Then go to sites, forums, chat and search for information that has been abandoned by people who have already used the cameras offer all the features comparable cameras pros and cons, all abilities. You can find not only the opinions and judgments on cameras of your choice, but also samples of photography, made with the cameras.
Finally, we have a clear idea and opted for two or three rooms of different companies – the producers. But do not run to the nearest store or buy the camera from the Internet, again! Here are some questions you should consider. In my opinion, you have to do their priorities for the purchase of the camera:
Producer – well known;
- With the variable focal length (zoom);
- Thanks to the variable angle LCD screen (for compact cameras);
- With the flash, which has little shooting mode;
- With the possibility of mode Spot AE Point;
- The power of the hand and made widely available.
Also, you should feel comfortable when you have the camera in hand.
4. The fourth step – actually is to make a decision and choice!
Just make a decision, and decide on the camera model is armed with all his knowledge and deep understanding of how and why he decided to just buy this camera model.
Another thing to consider is the quality and originality of your photos! It is true that the quality of photos depends on the quality of the camera, but the main thing – it's you that makes these pictures. And you need to know how to shoot properly. You must know the basics of composition, how to keep the camera and how to press the shutter button! The camera – only high – quality item, but to take those pictures!
I hope that after reading this article have a clear idea about what camera to buy! Therefore, being involved in this wonderland of creative photography!
