Learn the 5 keys to know buying a camera.

Today I'll show you choose your camera ideal for you to choose well and you never regret.

One of my passions is photography and therefore digital cameras, still remember the first time I buy a camera, it was nice and small, but made the mistake of not informing me well at all before buying, it was too later when I realized that the photos did not go as I wanted.

And I'm afraid that if you come here is because you happened to you the same right ?. And if it has not happened to you it is that you are very cautious (that's good partner, go far!) So read on.

Well let the mess, the five keys to buy a nice and cheap good camera :

1. Types of cameras: SLR or compact camera?


This depends on each one hand SLRs are professional or semi - professional cameras, but not fit in your pocket.

On the other hand the compact cameras do not reach the quality of SLR, but can carry without being a nuisance.

My advice is that if you're not a geek photography yours is a compact camera , if you hit when you buy it (and here I'll teach you to buy ) you do photos of high quality, valid for most mortals. They are also easy to set up , or already are automated (take scene modes. Indoor shots, photos of exterior, nieve..ect)

However if you're a maverick and perfectionist geek fucking Photo yours is a professional or semi - professional camera and if you do not mind the size and carry it around your neck or in a bag, if so, get yourself an SLR, for I leave some win a very good, a Nikon D5300 (worth over 600 €), you only have to leave your email to join!

Of course, keep in mind that you must learn to manage it, is not looking and give the button, carry many options and need to know to set them well for every occasion, something with a little practice and the instructions everyone can learn .

2. The mark of the camera does matter.

Do not buy a camera whose mark is not well known, in fact I would recommend these brands, Nikon, Lumix, Sony, Canon, Pentax, Panasonic, Fujifilm.

Why? Because it may be that some other other make of camera make good pictures, but my experience tells me that the best are the brands.

3. Megapixel and quality of the lens.

Not the same an old ball, a naked old right?

Well , something similar happens with megapixel cameras and lenses to take pictures of them. People only looks at the megapixels , the more you have the better the camera right? ERROR!

I'll give an example with camera phones: Iphone stayed for years "stuck" in the 8 megapixels, however there are Chinese mobile cameras over 16 megapixels, now you catch the photos that makes an iPhone and which makes the Chinese mobile as I tell you I which are the best, the iphone, even if less than half of megapixels.

And it is that megapixels only serve to amplify the image (eg for printing) and 8 and are more than enough.

And that is what really matters? old naked .. that digaa the quality of the lens !

What really makes the pictures look good color and sharp is the lens of the camera . And this is intrinsically related to point two, the brand, good brands of cameras usually have the best lenses (the Iphone riding a cojonuda sapphire crystal lens).

4. Sensor camera.

The sensor is something that people do not know, and that is what determines the quality of the photos along with the lens. At this point I shall not dwell, stay with that the larger the sensor, the better . The sensors are usually indicated as follows : (7.6 × 5.7mm), (7.18 × 5.32 mm) or (5.76 × 4,29mm).

5. The light coming through the lens of the camera.

Something very important that the photos do in low light out decently, the light coming through the lens makes the pictures come out too dark or not, in compact usually mark them as ISO , the higher the ISO the less light is needed to taking pictures.

In the Reflex usually marked with f , as lower the f more light will enter and better for taking pictures in low light.

Summary:

When you go to buy a camera note that is a good brand , look at the megapixels but even more in the lens , the larger the sensor better and that ISO is as large or f as low as possible.
