buying a digital camera
2009年03月24日
It's just like buying a pair of shoes or a car. Your Digital Camera, in a sense has to "fit" or you won't be happy with it. And there are almost as many cameras out there, and camera bags, as shoes and cars. So do your research; handle them, try them on, in a sense, before you buy.
First, learn the terminology. What is a megapixel? It's a unit of measurement that determines the quality of the image. The higher the megapixels, the better the quality. LCD screen - this is a screen that allows you to view the picture you just took. The memory card is used to save your pictures. They come in different sizes to hold more images. Digital zoom is the enlarging of the image and requires the Digital Camera to double the size of the pixels which will cause the image to begin to blur. The optical zoom operates the same as in the 35mm and actually magnifies the subject, therefore producing a better quality picture. Camera bags with adjustable dividers, modular belts and U-shaped lens cradles which store the lens securely. These are a few of the basic terminologies associated with the digital camera. There are others terms and you might want to take the time to familiarize yourself with them before going the next step. That next step is to decide where you're going to buy your Digital Camera. You can shop online and buy direct, you can shop the online auctions, or you can go shopping the old fashioned way, to the stores that carry cameras, for that hands-on experience. If you choose the latter, you might want to consider investing in a Sunday paper and checking out the ads to get an idea of who is offering what, since just about all the major stores carry the digital camera. However you choose to buy, first do your comparison shopping, it could save you money depending upon the camera you purchase. Go online and read the reviews, these will give you invaluable information from fellow photographers
After you've decided how you're going to purchase your camera, set your budget. If you're new to the Digital Camcorder world and are wanting to get your feet wet, there are cameras that will produce good pictures with a price tag of $100 or less. Fuji's FinePix A400 is one in this price range that combines 4 megapixels with 3x optical zoom. It has a 1.8 inch LCD screen and an added bonus of video capability. Another one is made by Kodak, their EasyShare C530, which has 5 megapixels with digital zoom and, also shoots video. Polaroid has put out a modern looking black square camera with 3.2 megapixels and 3x optical zoom and video, it's their PDC-3070BD. The $200 range will get you a host of features from 5 to 6 megapixels; 4x optical zoom; oversized, 2.5 inch, LCD screens; 9- point autofocus; and even a built-in mp3 player. For a little extra money, you get a lot more Digital Camcorder. As the cost goes up, so do the features. You can spend into the $1000's for the Digital SLR cameras.
Now it's time to make your decision and your purchase. Once you get it home, whether it's shipped or you carry it, the first thing you want to do is make sure you complete the warranty information properly. Avoid putting this off, since it could fall through the cracks and you never know when you might need the service. Take the time to read all the literature and familiarize yourself thoroughly with your new camera. If you've been using film and this is your first Digital Camcorder, consider taking a course at the local college or picking up one of the great publications that are available, such as Digital Photography All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies. It offers a wealth of information that you will find useful as a beginner and will continue to use as you become more experienced.
