For all those fans who do not decide on any, they must take some factors into account
The arrival of mobile phones revolutionized the world of photography, despite this, there are people who prefer a digital camera and do not know which one to buy when starting. For all those beginners who do not decide on any camera, they must take into account some factors such as easy to use, transport and intuitive handling.
Current smartphones are equipped with cameras with which to take good photographs. In addition, thanks to their small size, they are easy to transport and allow you to edit and upload your photos immediately. Being an object that many people always carry with them, it allows you to capture the most unexpected moments quickly and easily. Despite this, due to their size, smartphones have design and performance limitations that mean they cannot keep up with some professional cameras.
The Organization of Consumers and Users points out four types of digital cameras: compact, Bridge, DSLR (digital reflexes) and ‘Mirrorless’. There are a number of factors that determine which type of camera is most suitable for each situation, since it will depend on what you want to photograph or record and even on your budget.
DSLR cameras
The digital reflex camera (DSLR) is the best option for those who want to get good photos, similar to the professionals. These types of cameras are the ones that allow better image quality, although it depends largely on the lens. It also includes many manual controls that allow you to control many aspects when taking the picture. Another advantage is that they usually equip autofocus and tracking of moving subjects, as well as the possibility of implementing lenses and accessories.
The main disadvantage of this type of camera is its complexity, since due to the multitude of buttons and controls, it can be a big leap for beginner photographers. In addition, they are difficult to hold with one hand and their acquisition represents a great investment, since their price is usually high, with the simplest kits for beginners being around 500 euros. Although, generally, the quality is determined by the lens, which are interchangeable in many cases.
These types of cameras are usually smaller than SLRs and are more technically advanced. The most important difference with DSLR cameras is the absence of a mirror that reflects the image, but this is done electronically through a lens. Lighter and more compact than an SLR, it usually includes image stabilization, faster shutter speeds and generally allows for better video recording. The OCU explains that, among its disadvantages, is a smaller amount of choice between lenses and accessories and slower tracking on moving subjects.
These types of cameras are a midpoint between reflex and compact. Despite allowing you to control various elements such as ISO, shutter speed and aperture, they are not as advanced or as expensive as a DSLR. In this type of cameras, the possibility of exchanging lenses disappears, since it is fixed, although they usually have a good ‘zoom’.
According to the OCU, these types of cameras are disappearing, since being so basic, many high-end smartphones have cameras of the same quality. For those people who do not have a mobile phone with a good camera, they are a good option, since they are light, cheap and easy to use. Although due to their small size they have limitations in poor lighting conditions and the buttons can be small and fiddly.
