The modern industry produces a variety of cameras in a wide price range and with various parameters. When looking at a shop window or surfing a website, it is important not to make a mistake and choose the right camera that is right for you.
Instructions
Step 1
There is no one-size-fits-all camera that is both compact, captures high quality images and has a powerful built-in flash. Something will still have to be sacrificed.
Step 2
Decide for what purpose you need a camera and in what conditions you will use it. If you decide to become a photographer and plan to start your career with buying good equipment, pay attention to "DSLRs". Prices for DSLRs start at $ 800. However, all the necessary attachments, interchangeable optics and other accessories will cost you much more expensive than the camera itself. For example, the equipment of the average American professional photographer costs 30-50 thousand dollars.
Step 3
If you don’t have that kind of money yet, but you don’t intend to retreat from your dream, you can buy a film SLR camera, which will cost you less.
Step 4
Are you planning to shoot mostly indoors? Pay attention to cameras with an external flash. It should be borne in mind that a flash for a digital camera is not suitable for a film one. In addition, the cost of the flash is sometimes equal to the cost of the camera.
Step 5
What you shouldn't pay attention to when choosing a camera is the number of megapixels. They will only make sense to you if you want to greatly enlarge the photo and cut out any object in the background. Basically, photos taken with a sensor with a large number of megapixels are noisier than those taken with a sensor with a smaller number.
Step 6
Well, if you want to have a camera to photograph some important events, your friends and loved ones, funny moments you see, like most people, then you should give preference to reliable, inexpensive and compact cameras that have service centers in your city. … Most likely, firms such as Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fuji, Pentax will suit you.
