In this article we hope to be able to explain the difference between a regular digital camera and a digital SLR camera. When choosing and buying a new digital camera, there are some important elements of the photo you need to become familiar with.
For a good start "SLR" means single lens reflex. Basically this means that the lens can be removed and replaced when necessary. A regular SLR camera is a conventional film-based SLR camera as a digital SLR (DSLR) is a digital SLR camera. DSLR or SLR cameras compared with a normal lens, digital camera, is much more complex to use, but certain features and settings within the camera has to manually change - focus on the shutter speed and zoom. These are aspects of a digital camera that most people take for granted, and that automatically adjust the camera. These days, for their benefit, most DSLRs have some built-in functions automatically - this is the functionality of digital cameras! Along with this, a DSLR may be intended to remove and replace, which means that photographers can be images very close to extremely high quality.

The reason that DSLRs are so often preferred by professional photographers because they allow an accurate frame the moment of exposure, and because digital SLRs allow users to choose from a variety of alternative lenses. This gives you the best possible choice of photo effects and quality of exposure. You can get lenses such as wide angle lenses, telephoto and macro. DSLR cameras offer a level of flexibility that other cameras can not match, have a wide variety of apparel and accessories. For digital SLR you can buy things like filters, external flashes, adapters, extension tubes, strobe and a host of accessories. With a digital SLR, you can also buy a variety of tools that opens up the possibility of new creative possibilities. Most DSLRs also has a feature that allows accurate visualization of the depth of field.

Perhaps the most important core component of any digital camera or a DSLR sensor. This really is the most important device in the chamber and is perhaps the most important in determining image quality. Usually, a digital SLR sensor is much larger than those installed in a fixed focal length digital camera or camera type. Most of the time fixed focal length cameras have a sensor only half or one third the size of a digital SLR. This in itself is reason enough for a DSLR over a normal digital camera. The superior image quality makes it an essential part of any photographers arsenal.
A digital SLR offers the possibility of becoming a very skilled photographer, producing some high quality photographs. When you visit a store of professional cameras, to help you make your choice between a digital camera and a DSLR.
As a camera, digital camera, a lens that brings into focus the light has on a bed of light-sensitive material. In the digital camera, the light-sensitive material is a circuit bed called "CCD" is. The CCD plays the SA? My role as a film within a film camera and lens Light falls on the CCD, which is then converted into a digital image. The quality of the lens can make a significant difference in the clarity of the image. Very cheap cameras can even use a piece of plastic that the goal, which usually has an uneven surface and light transmission. This will be visible in the picture, but can not be a problem for a surveillance camera or web cam. Better quality digital cameras have ground glass lens and high-end digital cameras and interchangeable lenses, even high-end film cameras. The goal is playing the important role of bringing light clearly to the CCD surface for an image without distortion
.
CCD also offers an interesting advantage of the digital camera. It is possible to automatically light sensitivity to improve contrast, shoot in the dark or even black and white, sepia or infrared and ultraviolet absorption of light with the push of a button. Since some of these images, the same data are stored on the memory card, a camera unsurpassed versatility without the need to offer to change the kind of movie. Not all cameras have these built-in functions, but they are options that you can see in some cameras. While the possibilities are cool, ask yourself if there is one feature that you need in a digital camera.

CCD cameras is a grid of light sensitive points, the image of the transition to a digital image capture. The number of points on the CCD is measured in terms of "megapixels." The megapixel rating is a bit of completely new concepts and is unique in the DC. The megapixel rating is a measure of resolution for the camera or the ability to store the image details. For example, a DC with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels (dots) for a total of 983 040 pixels to describe the digital image. As each megapixel is one million pixels, we can see, this is not even one mega pixel. Some DC rated at 5.1-megapixel and even 7.1 megapixels. What does it mean for you? The more pixels, the more information will be stored. If the image is viewed on a monitor or TV, it is not very meaningful because video displays clearly the resolutions usually have under one mega pixel. However, when printing on high quality photo printer, the difference between a 3-megapixel camera and a 5 megapixel digital DC can be very obvious.
Some people will try mega pixel rating can judge by the size of a print job to be done from the image of the digital camera. The truth is that any digital image can be printed in any size. The real question is, how it looks. Most people print their film 4x6 prints and many of the same thing with their DC. Ask to have printed samples of pictures that, like the type you would normally take and compare the same prints between different cameras to see. Many stores will try to provide you with colorful pictures of life still to hide plenty of fruits and colorful hot air balloons. Take pictures please? Probably not, maybe they are not the best to scan pictures. If you take pictures of friends standing around, use each camera to take pictures of bystanders. Then use a demonstration printer at the store to make prints and look at the results. Do you see little dots in the middle of solid colors? The picture looks like it was recorded with a poor quality film camera? Do not try the digital camera, the perfect pictures in a perfect setting, contrived by the marketing department of the manufacturer of digital cameras record happened. Look for the DC, the images that you find love in the parameters within which you are the most common.Nikon COOLPIX L120 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 21x NIKKOR Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LCD (Black)
Another problem is important to note that some DC are designed to use "point and click." All other devices with many parameters to be manipulated for optimal results in my personal experience, I found that Kodak DC makes them ideally suited for simple "point and click" to use and always great pictures in a variety of settings. I have also personally found that DC function of Nikon best when they are in the "manual" and not rely on the automatic settings. This seems to be true, their cameras as well. Will a DC is better than another? Only if it fits your needs and abilities, and the other not.
There are many journals in digital cameras today. Most recognize these differences in quality digital camera, and use as required by the owner. Before buying your new digital camera, take some of these magazines and familiarize yourself with the latest criticism. Remember that the pros and cons are still written "through the lens" of the auditor. If you have a negative effect on a digital camera, you see otherwise like, ask yourself whether this is a significant negative your needs. Next ask yourself if this could have significant negative for you, as you become more experienced. If the answer is yes, ask yourself if you can still sell this camera as a photographer with more experience in the future or would like it and buy an entirely new digital camera? It is unlikely that the digital camera you buy today will be the only one you'll ever have. Buy the digital camera that most reasonably meets your needs and how you plan to photograph in general.
