Camera manufacturers have taken into account the interests of almost all buyers. Models with automatic settings and programs are addressed to beginners. Experienced photographers will appreciate cameras with manual settings and special shooting modes, while the more advanced will prefer mirrorless cameras with interchangeable optics and semi-professional SLRs.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine which class the technique belongs to. Digital compact cameras are presented with non-interchangeable optics, 3-5x zoom for shooting close-ups and decent work of automation. Models are produced in a thin case, juicy colors. Price - from 2000 rubles. Ultrazoom is the closest relatives of digital compacts, only they have several times higher optical magnification. Prices start at 8,000 rubles.
Step 2
Choose a system, mirrorless camera if you want to change optics based on your shooting needs. These cameras are equipped with an electronic viewfinder, large sensor and DSLR features, but at the same time they are lighter in weight. Here you can choose a variety of lenses - from wide-angle to telephoto. This class attracts not only with a large selection of models, but also with a completely affordable price - from 12,000 rubles.
Step 3
Pay attention to SLR cameras with the status of semi-professional and a full range of manual settings, excellent optics and image quality. But such devices require careful handling and time to master. Prices range from 15,000 rubles to amounts comparable to the cost of a used car.
Step 4
Are you shooting in extreme conditions? Buy digital compacts, which are characterized by: shock resistance, moisture resistance and weather protection. It is convenient to take these cameras both to the beach and to the mountains in winter. They are usually equipped with a GPS module with an electronic compass, which is useful both for adding accurate shooting information to images and for navigation.
Step 5
Start comparing key parameters. The matrix resolution can be 14-16 or even 20 megapixels. However, its physical size is more important, so choose a larger one in terms of area, not resolution. Optics matter when they are built-in. Photo cameras of famous brands, such as Nikon and Sony, have their own optics, which in itself guarantees high quality. Most models have anti-shake - an image stabilization system, and tracking autofocus, which is indispensable for shooting moving objects, automatic face recognition, etc. Shooting in 3D is an innovation available to owners of the latest generation cameras. You can take a voluminous photo and video.
