It wasn.t long ago that digital cameras were essentially for the rich and
the geeks; if you spent just a few bucks you didn.t get anything worth
having, and if you really wanted something good.. well, you.d better be in
the book about the Rich and Famous.
Technology and costs have changed drastically in the last few years, and
it seems as if today that digital cameras nearly outnumber all the classic
film cameras, and to all but the classic photography buffs, digital is the
way to go.
Even traditional photography studios use digital, often in combination,
with film.
Why? What.s the attraction? Instant availability and the ability to
discard unwanted photos without cost penalty is one main attraction. The
second is the ability to share, publish, store your pictures.
The purist will still argue that for professional grade photography and
the widest range of effects that film is the only way to go. If he were
shooting today, it is doubtful that Ansel Adams would be using digital.
For the rest of us, digital seems to be the way to go.
Now assuming you have not yet made the plunge, the biggest question is
"Where Do I start?" or "What do I buy?" or "How Do I Compare?"
Articles have been written on just these subjects and if we were to expand
on all, this article would be a text book instead of just a primer. You
can do a search on any of the popular article sites to find many articles
just on that subject, (one site for example is ArticleCity.com, but not to
promote one over the other.. chances are you may be seeing this on an
article based site). You can also use search engines.
But sometimes it.s nice to have interactive expert advice. We suggest you
read and research for background, but then for selection, visit you
closest specialty photography or camera store. One where that.s all they
sell.. not a general all purpose discount or department store that
probably has that department "manned" with part time help.. but go to the
specialty store. The person will know what to ask you and how to guide
you.
Your biggest question will end up being an ethical one: After you have
been taught and guided, do you buy from that store, or take your knowledge
and model to the internet or a discount store and make your buy. If you
do, keep in mind that the full service store may offer just that.. service
after the sale; maybe an upgrade trade in policy, and other intangibles
that must be assigned value.
Before you venture out, choosing the right camera begins with asking
yourself "What do I want this for?" "What kinds of pictures do I expect to
be taking?" "How many at a time?" (Addresses memory and storage issues).
"What kind of light will most of my pictures be in?" "Will I be carrying
this camera for long periods of time?"(Think of weight). And lastly, and
this is important.. What kind of batteries does this camera use; how
available are they, and what do they cost? Most digital cameras are real
battery hogs, so it is important that batteries are readily available..
and possibly rechargable.. but if you are on a 3 week safari in Africa and
you don.t have chargers handy.. what are your options? How many pictures?
Memory cards available easily? Or do you have to dump and download often?
On a long vacation you don.t want to shoot all day and fill up.. and then
not have a computer handy to dump into?
Compared to film where it.s just "pop a new roll" digital cameras
purchased that don.t match the photographers needs can be a detriment, not
an asset.
Once you choose, then you need to know how to compare pricing and
benefits.. but that.s the subject for another article.
Choose wisely and you.ll love your new camera!
