• Today´s digital cameras let you store hundreds of pictures - yet they´re so small that it will fit in your pocket we will help you what to look for in an amateur or professional digital camera, what are the aspects like resolution, screen size, and zoom will help you

 

How does it work?

 

Gone are the days when you need to change or develop films. Today it records pictures onto a memory chip instead. And if you don´t like a picture, just delete it and try again! Once you are done simply transfer your pictures onto your PC, or even send them straight to your printer.

 

What to look for?

1. Mega pixel

A digital photo is made up of millions of tiny dots, called pixels. These are measured in millions, or mega pixels (MP). The more mega pixels your digital camera has the higher the resolution, the clearer your photos will be it will also ensure you can enlarge your photos without losing out on picture quality.

2. Zooms

All digital cameras come with a zoom, so you can get closer to the action. There are two different types of zoom to choose from - optical and digital.

Digital zoom enlarges the centre of the image, although you might lose some detail.

Optical zoom is much better, as it uses lenses to magnify the image until it looks close enough to touch.

3. Compact

Digital cameras are small and light enough to carry anywhere. Even those with built-in zoom lenses can ´retract´ the zoom lens into the camera, making it even slimmer. Most digital cameras fit comfortably in a pocket, but for something really compact, look for a camera smaller than 14 x 10 x 3 cm.

 

 

4. Screen

All digital cameras have a screen that lets you review, save, or delete pictures after snapping. The bigger the screen, the easier it is to see what you´re shooting, and to view

5. Autos focus     

Technology which automatically brings the lens into sharp focus on the subject.

6. Face detection

Built-in camera software that detects the shape of a human face and automatically sets the focus

7. Red-eye reduction       

Flash portraits can result in an unpleasant ´red eye´ effect. This technology reduces the likelihood of red eyes - and some cameras can even eliminate them later, digitally.

8. Image stabilization /Anti-blur/ Anti-shake       

Technology that automatically compensates for unwanted camera movement and low light, reducing the appearance of blur in photos.

9. Frames per second     

The maximum number of images a camera can shoot continuously in one second. Important for high-speed action shots.

 

Which camera is best for me?

 

Every customer has a reason of buying digital camera. Typically if you are buying for a digital camera which captures important family and friend occasional look for a higher mega pixel camera as it will give you higher resolution. Look for optical zoom as important criteria. Depending on your budget you can opt for technology as face detection, anti bluer and so on

 

Tip: Higher the MP the bigger the picture size which takes more memory size

• Enjoy making home movies? A digital video camera (digital video camera) makes the shooting easy and fun and captures your special moments which you can cherish for years. But the question is how do they work? The main difference between models is how they store your video - called Mini-DV, 8cm DVDs that work in most DVD players, or internal hard disk drives. Resolution (mega pixels) is less important in digital video cameras, since they´re designed to match existing TV and video.

Types of Video camera

1. Mini DV video cameras (Discontinue format)

It is a great-value video camera that uses small tapes - a really affordable way to permanently store all your home movies. Each tape holds up to one hour of superb-quality digital footage, which can either be played back instantly on your TV or put onto your computer for editing.

2. DVD Video cameras

A DVD video camera records straight on to small discs that you can play back straight away on most home DVD players. You can also record over your movies again and again. DVDs come in a few different formats (DVD-RW, +RW and -RAM) so make sure you check which ones your video camera takes before you buy the discs.

3. HDD Video cameras

These video cameras store video on hard disk drives like the one in your home PC. Hard drive video cameras give you longer recording times of up to 30 hours. As an added bonus, neither of them needs tapes or discs, so there´s no need to buy anything extra. Also let you connect your video camera to your TV or transfer the digital files to your PC.

 What to look for?

1. Screens

 An LCD screen lets you see what you´re filming and view footage you´ve already shot. Video cameras are generally easier to use if they have a larger screen - especially when you need to adjust menu settings. Look for viewfinder as it is useful if you can’t see the screen in bright light; it also uses less power than the screen.

2. Scenes and sounds
