Canon Cameras. Even the name sounds right for the job. Many happy snappers fell in love with canon cameras long before the digital revolution. In fact, my first ever canon camera was an AE1-Program SLR (Single Lens Reflex). I think it was launched around 1981. The AE-1 Program was then, and still is, in my opinion, a fantastic camera. Well done Canon cameras. In a world of increasing competition, and technical evolution, it’s just great to see Canon has secured its place at the top in this new era of digital photography.

Put any Canon digital camera in your mitts and it will fit like a glove. These are high quality, and often superior cameras which are very user friendly. Additionally, the Canon digital camera also has many features that are recognized by the professionals and are just perfect for those that want to be a little more adventurous with their picture taking. Alternatively, you can just leave them on auto setting and click away with confidence knowing their lenses will capture high quality images that you can be proud of.

So just what makes Canon cameras so special? Well, you will be hard pressed to find such quality for such value. When it comes to value for money, Canon cameras really do take some beating, but don’t just take my word for it, hop online and read some customer reviews and you will soon see that the canon line of digital cameras have a great overall reputation.

The point and shoot capability with Canon digital cameras is one thing but they also have crystal clear LCD screens, and a range of lenses to chose from which all contribute to their ease of use. In just one of these light tight boxes, you have the versatility to be professional, the simplicity to be a happy snapper, and a price tag which allows you to choose from the best for less. The Canon digital camera has really been engineered with everyone in mind.

As a keen armature I have had Canon cameras for donkey’s years. In fact, I must have had 11 different models now both compact and SLRs, and I can honestly say with hand on heart that I have never ever been disappointed. There are plenty of reasons why anyone should consider purchasing from the new range of Canon digital cameras, but if you’re someone who would like a high quality, well designed digital camera at an affordable price, then it’s very probable there’s a Canon waiting for just for you.

Digital Cameras - Quality vs Size

Posted by boyberm on June 14th, 2008

When looking to purchase a new digital camera there is always the debate between size and quality within the range of your budget. No matter what the budget, the choice will have to be made between a smaller size, more portable camera and a higher resolution camera with more features. Making the choice between the two is simply a matter off considering what the camera’s purpose.

Digital camera users who plan to use a camera for simple point-and-shoot purposes will want to focus their budget on a small, portable camera. These individuals are most likely using their camera to document travels, family events, and personal experiences for their own memory. The photos don’t need to be or a super high resolution because they will not be blown up to poster size, but will remain 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 in a frame on the mantel. It is important to consider that when size is traded for quality, while the photos will be higher quality, users may be less inclined to take photos as the size of the camera becomes a hindrance to taking it along for the fun.

Photographers who are more interested in the end product will want to sacrifice size for a higher resolution camera or one with more features and/or accessories. The bulkier high-resolution cameras or digital SLRs will be the better choice for users who are taking artistic or professional photographs. Even the amateur artist, will want to invest in quality over size to produce the kind of photos that can be enlarged to show detail. Cameras used for professional shots, whether to be displayed in a portfolio, brochure or website, will also need to be of higher quality, and it will be worth hefting the extra weight to get the higher-end photos.

Knowing the type of photographer you are, will help you make the right choice in cameras. When you have an idea of what characteristics are most important to you, take the time to shop, read the reviews, and compare the various cameras in your price range.

What is a Digital Camera

Posted by boyberm on June 14th, 2008

A digital camera is an electronic device used to capture and store photographs electronically instead of using photographic film like conventional cameras. It uses a digital sensor to capture the light instead of traditional film. The LCD on the back of a digital camera is your on screen guide to altering the settings before a shoot and reviewing the results afterwards.

The big advantage of digital cameras is that, unlike film, you can reuse the storage media over and over again at no extra cost.

Bearing this in mind you can quickly delete unwanted images and take more photographs as you go along. Also making photos is both inexpensive and fast because there is no film processing needed for obtaining prints.

The range of digital cameras is immense, and provides an equally large span of capabilities and functionalities. The main tip for using digital cameras is don’t be afraid, read the manual and just experiment.

One of the main ways that manufacturers categorize their digital cameras is in terms of pixel count, ranging from low end consumer cameras around 3.1mp (mega pixels) up to 10mp or more in professional cameras. If you plan on printing 8 x 10-inch prints, a 5 megapixel digital camera is more than enough.

When you’ve had a digital camera for a long time, you’ll learn enough to experiment with your digital photos online. Almost any digital camera is capable of taking pictures for display on the internet, or for sending across the internet as email and uploading to online galleries such as Webshots and Flickr.

One thing to be aware of is how many many pictures the camera can take with one set of batteries. Can the batteries be recharged, can I use normal AAs or does it need a lithium battery with its own charger?
