Choosing the right Camera for You

Before you start spending rash money on camera’s you don’t need, do a little research into
what it is that you want to accomplish.
Point and shoot cameras, and to some extent, mobile phone cameras are all very well if you
want to record your holiday snaps or remember the good days out you had.
However, should you wish to take things a step further, you are going to need a step up in
the equipment you are using.
Digital single lens reflex cameras (Digital SLR’s) are the direction in which you should be looking.
There are many pitfalls for the amateur photographer to overcome when choosing a Digital SLR,
not least is the vast array of terminology which is not understood (or mis-understood) by the uninitiated.
Another Digital SLR conundrum is that most don’t have a live screen mode. I.E.
With your point and shoot camera you can see the picture on the viewing screen,
this does not apply to most Digital SLR’s, most (Although not all) of the camera
manufacturers tend to stick to the old Single lens reflex camera strategy where you
need to look through the camera lens to compose the picture you want.
Before you sink your head into your hands, try this with your old point and shoot
camera, the one where you always look at the viewing screen to compose your picture.
