Digital Cameras: for professionals and amateurs

Many technologies are highly complex devices began as professional technical tasks. In the case of digital photography has been the opposite.

For a long time, professional photographers were not welcome to digital cameras. They were small devices with a poor definition, not practical at the time of the retouching and too simple to operate as to call "photographer" who uses them. Fortunately Technology has evolved and you can find high-resolution equipment, durable and can create professional photos with greater possibilities of editing, playback and editing.

What qualities do you look for in a digital camera?

The transition from analog to digital

It is very difficult for many families to change their old analog cameras for digital devices that are not so big, so bold or so family tradition. The cameras sometimes are that German or Japanese camera which was bought in the 70s or 80s with much effort.

But digital cameras, besides being much more practical, can store more photos, edit and export some details to digital formats that can be sent by email. It is a big step to change the great albums by small flash memory sticks or USB. A big step, which means sharing with others some pictures of the family is surprised, the friends are not here.

What to look for in a digital camera?

There are three main qualities to look for in any camera, whether a professional or a camera for personal use.

1. Definition:

That one picture is more or less clear depending on the definition, which is the number of pixels in a square measure. The lower the number, the lower definition (less clear detail, blurred images, colors and images poorest "digital") . A better definition, more pixels and therefore better image quality, more like a real photograph.

2. Memory:

Sharper images take up more space, so a large memory allows better use of native resources of the cameras and this allows to have better photos or greater volumes of shots. All cameras come with memory expansion options (Memory Sticks or other storage formats) which is almost have a "roll" bigger.

3. Control of Exposure:

The exposure control lets you define how long the diaphragm of the camera (allowing the passage of light) will be open. The less light, more exposure. A good digital camera has preset exposure options (outdoor, night shots , special effects ...) and a manual control of exposure for skilled photographers.

A digital camera is a change in customs. People no longer have to wait and see how it goes on a picture (because these cameras have viewfinders) and can ask for a better photo at the moment. It may not be necessary to have to remember something that happened two minutes (while the traditional development takes a while), but makes the images are shared differently
