Digital Photography Basics - Choosing a Camera that is Best for You
The basics of digital photography are pretty much the same whether you're using a digital compact or DSLR (also referred to simply as an SLR), but there are a few important differences.
Digital Compacts
One of the biggest benefits of digital compacts is the low cost. Another thing to consider when buying a DSLR is that you will need to purchase at least one lens for your camera especially if you want to take distant photographs. Digital compacts come with a built in lens and often a zoom.
If you do have an optical zoom on your digital compact then you'll also be able to take some good quality telephoto pictures. An optical zoom is always far better than a digital zoom because a digital zoom works like cropping it takes away pixels. The more you zoom with digital zoom, the lower the quality of your photograph. On the other hand, an optical zoom maintains the quality of your photo.
Some compacts produce such high quality photographs that many a pro will grab the compact if they dont' want to carry all their DSLR gear. The quality of the photograph is largely dependent upon the photographer's skill.
While digital compacts don't have as many mega pixels as DSLRs, with only 5 mega pixels, you can produce an 8x10 print of the type of quality you'd be proud to display in an 8x10 picture frame on your wall.
And lastly, learning how to use a digital compact is a lot easier than learning how to use a DSLR with all of its functions.
Digital Single Lens Reflexes (DSLRs)
A digital single lens reflex is the digital version of the SLR. DSLR's are also called SLRs but never the other way around. With the debut of the Canon Rebel and other more moderately priced DSLRs (relatively speaking) a few years ago, more photography enthusiasts are discovering the advantages of a DSLR.
The big advantage of the DSLR is its creativity and versatility.
For example, by adding a long telephoto lenses, you can capture a close up of an osprey at the top of a towering pine tree or a child at the soccer goal post when you're at the other end of the field. With a DSLR, you can find a lens or filter to suit almost any photographic need.
Another benefit of DSLRs is their ability to take sharp pictures of sports or action photos in low light situations where a flash won't work. The larger sensor on a DSLR allows you to adjust the ISO and get a good picture, whereas with a compact it usually creates an image with a lot of grain called digital noise. If you are taking still photos, it's not a problem. The problem with Sports mode in a low light setting is that the shutter must close so fast that in spite of a larger aperture setting, there's just not enough light hitting the image sensor. The only way this can be compensated for is with a flash or a higher ISO setting.
However, you can get rid of most digital noise by using photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop.
Another advantage of using a DSLR is that you can use an external flash instead of always having to use natural light.
Another benefit of DSLRs is that they have more megapixels than even the best digital compacts so you can take and print high quality big pictures for framing in large photo frames like 11x14 picture frames. And lastly, digital cameras are slower to take pictures than film cameras but DSLRs are much faster than digital compacts.
Although the digital photography basics do start with selecting a camera, the quality of your images will largely depend upon how you use your camera. Regardless of what type of camera you have or will be buying, you have to be willing to practice and enjoy taking lots of pictures with your camera.
