I have developed just the right enthusiasm to plunge into
one of the most enamoring hobbies one may dream for ...
its photography. This blog of mine is indeed about basics
of photography through the eyes of a newbie. Life is full
of stories and what better than those sweet memories,
the Elysian life once spent to revive us from our moribund
life of drudgery.
Today's market is glutted with modern tech products with
scad of them flaunting their unique features. Its difficult amidst such
scenario not to list for one of these luring deals. However,
its obligatory to scroll through most products to analyze the
options and get the best buy. So first things first let's get
some basics about cameras. There are cameras with 10s of
mega pixels all around the market. The normal Digital
cameras also known as "point and shoot " cameras are
easy to handle. They slide inside the pocket quite easily
but the picture quality .... hmm not satisfying enough.
The performance of these cameras suffer greatly in low light.
The pictures lack the originality of the ever beautiful mother
nature.
The digital SLR cameras are far ahead when it comes to real world
pics. They have comparative mega pixels but packed with many
folds larger sensors to capture the same image thus far better
quality. The whole notion of digital cameras are their unique ability to
change lenses depending on the need. They encapsulate lenses for every
aspect of photography....let it be..wildlife, portrait, landscape low
light, even sports events. They have it all. With the control over the
shutter speed, aperture size, magnification and ISO level one could
experience the freedom to nourish the art in its own special way.
The new technologies like lens stabilization, Live view, sensors and
anti dust provides picture perfect experience for even novice
photographers. The depth-of-field phenomenon amazes the viewer
with its ability to showcase the focus than its counterpart surroundings
With immense potential and unmatched capabilities DSLR cameras
simply are the obvious choice.
There are couple of contenders in the camera market. The giants
being Canon and Nikon. Other players being Sony, Fuzi Olympus
etc. Couple of models like Canon 40D and 40DX are low end but
still powerful cameras. 400D XTi is a great camera with its
successor 1000D XS rebel. The show is ultimately stolen by the
450DXsi which truly deserves to be the worthy successor.
Nikon offers D40 D60 and on the higher side Nikon D80 which
is a bit costly however worth every penny. The new Nikon D90 also
provide HD video recording at 780p with 20 fps. Nikon arguably
flaunts better ergonomics, sturdy look and feel to the cameras.
There are other high end cameras like EOS-5D Mark II etc but
getting your hands on them would mean loads of bucks!

Another contender to the camera mrket is Sony. It has also
launched its A100, A200, A300, A350 models which have high
mega pixels and reasonably good performance. The A300 and above
boast the ability to flip out and tilt the screen of the camera making
difficult shots easier. These cameras however use an additional sensor for
live view which makes it faster than its competitors. The benefit
is not having to bypass the conventional AF (Auto Focus) system
during Live View, thereby allowing the A300 to autofocus as quickly
as it would do normally, and without interruption or noise. It has its
downside too. It lacks the ability to provide genuine 100% coverage,
pixel-perfect magnified manual focus-assistance and a preview of any
sensor-shift stabilization which other counterparts provide. Sony has
inbuilt image stabilization which works with all the lenses that are
attached to it which makes it quite a handy camera and a strong
contender.
Nevertheless selecting a DSLR camera is a big task and solely depends
on the kind of photographer and the features that excites the most. It
could be the tilting screen of Sony or the picture perfect quality of
the Canon and Nikon which could vary with the interest and requirements
of the individuals. All in all the DSLR cameras are great pal to have.
They cost somewhere around 600-700$ for the lower end cameras
which can go much higher as they reach the semi pro or pro level. The
things like IS and UMS lenses can help achieve worderful exposure.
It is also true that the Mega pixels are not the only thing to consider
while buying a camera. There are much more to it in terms of pixel
density, sensor size, kind of sensors and technology used which can
produce vast difference in the image. I am planning to go for EOS
450D XSi which encompases all the new features and provides great
image quality. Get a feel of the DSLR cameras and you will know the
difference it has to offer. Capture the moment and cherish the memories!
