Shopping For a Digital SLR? What You Should Know Before You Begin

Curious about the state of digital SLR cameras today?

This quick review will provide you with the BIG POINTS to keep in mind as you go shopping for a new digital SLR.

MAIN FEATURES

• Interchangeable Lenses - you can swap the lens on a digital SLR as much as you like
• Optical Viewfinders - what you see through the viewfinder is what you get in the final image
• Large Sensors - increased sensor size (vs. compact cameras) allows SLRs to capture high-quality photos in low-light conditions
• High Speed - these cameras are FAST, with instant startup times and zero delay between shutter press and image capture

Before I dig into some of these features in more detail, let's review the features that are "missing" from digital SLR cameras, at least when you compare them to their compact cousins.

WHAT'S MISSING

• No Movies - digital SLR cameras don't capture movies. They're for still photography ONLY
• No LCD Previews - many digital SLRs don't display a preview of the image you're about to take on the LCD (with some notable exceptions)
• Not Compact - digital SLRs can't fit into a pocket - even the compact ones are quite large and bulky (the lens can add a lot of size and weight)

EMERGING TRENDS

Now that we've gotten the high level summary out of the way, let's talk more about some of the developing trends in digital SLR camera technology.

I used to recommend caution when buying a 10 megapixel camera, since you only need 10 megapixels if you want to aggressively crop your photos or make gigantic prints. I really can't do that anymore, because the manufacturers are making cameras with anything less obsolete.

While there used to be a hearty crop of 6 megapixel SLRs to choose from (which is PLENTY if you enjoy making 8x10 and 4x6 prints) today there are fewer and fewer and every new camera on the horizon is packed with 10 megapixels.

Another steady trend is the increasing size of the LCD screens, paired with a decrease in the size of the camera body.

While 1.8 inch LCDs used to be standard, the new baseline in LCD size is 2.5 inches. These larger screens help you to review the photo that you just took, and make it easier to change settings on the camera using the menus.

On the flip side, the dimensions of digital SLR cameras continue to decrease. First-generation digital SLRs were huge and heavy, and not the sort of cameras that you wanted to carry on a day hike.

Today, manufactuers are trying to make their SLRs as compact as possible, in order to make them more attractive to consumers who don't want to lug around giant cameras all the time. Pentax started the trend with their small and light line of *ist cameras, and now Canon and Nikon have followed suit (with the Rebel xTi and D40 respectively).

SPECIAL FEATURES

A year ago, digital SLR cameras competed on a variety of standard features: megapixels, camera size, continuous photo speed, LCD size, and the number of different photography modes.

Recently there's been an emergence of three new "extra" features that are included on a limited number of cameras.

• Dust Control - dust can get on your camera's sensor when you're chaning a lens, and shows up in every photo you take. Dust control is designed to prevent this.
• Image Stabilization - this feature helps you take clear photos in low-light conditions when you can't use a flash
• Live View LCD - this shows a preview of the image you're about to take, much like the LCD on every compact digital camera

Olympus pioneered the dust control technology (their name for it is a SuperSonic Wave Filter) and other companies are beginning to adopt it using their own proprietary names.

While image stabilized lenses have been around for years, the addition of image stabilization (IS) to the camera body (which works with ANY lens) is a more recent innovation. The first cameras to use it were the now-obsolete Konica Minolta Maxxum cameras. Konica Minolta sold their operations to Sony, who adopted the IS technology in their Alpha A100 camera.

Now, built-in IS is also included in cameras made by Pentax, Olympus and Samsung.

Live LCD screens are another Olympus innovation, which has not been as readily adopted by other manufacturers. To date, only two other non-Olympus cameras have live view LCDs: the high-end professional Canon 1D Mark III and the fairly expensive Panasonic DMC-L1.

THE PRICES

There was a day when you couldn't get a decent digital SLR camera for anything less than $2,000. I'm happy to say that those days are long gone.

Now many new digital SLR cameras debut with prices under $800, and these prices simply decrease as time goes on (SLR cameras are a lot like cars and computers in that sense).

Let me be clear though: digital SLR cameras are still not competitively priced with many of the compact digital cameras. You cannot find ANY digital SLR camera for less than $400, and the cameras that are less than $600 have limited feature sets.

What's your best bet if you're looking for an inexpensive digital SLR?

Go online and hunt around for models from 2005 and 2006. The manufactuers release several new cameras each year, and while many of the older cameras are still quite capable, you can't find any stores that sell them new.

Many owners of first and second-generation digital SLR cameras are looking to upgrade to the latest and greatest, so you have the opportunity to snatch up their old cameras at bargain-basement prices.

Digital Photography - 7 Things Every Beginner Should Know!

Now that you have completed your digital photography classes at the community college, you're pretty pumped up and ready to make your mark on the industry. But there's a fine line between taking good photographs and being a great photographer; so first thing's first - building a solid foundation with long-lasting results!

1.Research before you buy: We live in a society where we have many choices - almost too many! Taking amazing photos begins with the right camera so be diligent while shopping! Here are the key considerations you need to think through before making your investment; assess your needs - find a camera the best fits what you want to photograph; set a budget - and stick to it; find a camera with extended battery life - you don't want your camera to die at an inopportune moment; consider the number of Megapixels - this is very important when photographing diverse scenery and most important, buy a system that will grow with you, like Canon or Nikon.

2.Know your equipment: Once you have made your purchase, make sure you know your camera. Read the user manual and learn all the features. Like all enthusiastic picture-takers, you want to start "playing" right away, but your point and shoot may be more temperamental and powerful than you think. Taking the time to read the manual will help decipher all those pesky little symbols, bells and whistles! As you experiment, try shooting your subjects with multiple settings to learn what effects work best for each shot.

3.Accessorize: Yes, this applies to more than just your wardrobe! Here are a few camera accessories to consider before you go out on your photo-journey: Buy a tripod; if you want sharper images and a more steady shot, this is a minimal investment with a maximum return - any professional will tell you the difference a tripod makes. Have a variety of lenses: multiple lenses will give you the ability to take the picture that you want, with the effect that you want. Power is important so make sure you have plenty of it! An extra battery and a charger is a must when taking your photo show on the road. Make sure you have plenty of memory on hand. Memory cards are essential as every camera has a different capacity for storing pictures. And the number of pics you can take at one individual photo shoot will depend not only on the storage capacity of the memory cards you buy, but also your camera's Megapixel count and the size of each image file. And last but not least, buy a protective bag or carrying case - and keep in mind our unpredictable weather!! Look into a padded, waterproof bag to protect your investment.

4.Versatility: Now you are ready to take some pictures, so be creative! Your interest may be in good ole' Mother Nature and butterflies fascinate you, but try to photograph something different every day. Continuously thinking outside of your own box and using your imagination will be the key to your success as a photographer.

5.To Zoom or Not to Zoom: Don't be afraid to get up close and personal to your subject. One of the most common mistakes is that photos are taken from too far away and that there is just too much environment or activity in one frame. This just takes away from the message you are trying to convey. Remember...less is more!

6.Be Patient: Take time to plan your shots. As you get in position for your photo, keep an eye out for people passing by, power lines, flying pests and other objects behind your subject that can ruin your photo. If the effects are not avoidable, reposition yourself or your subject. Waiting until the 1980 dented Chevy Malibu in the background has passed will make a major difference in your photo and will only cost you a moment or two!! Also, use your creative eye to avoid objects in the background that visually merge with the subject because they have the same color. Find focus on the subject and allow the subject to be free-standing.

7.Take your camera everywhere you go: "Kodak Moments" often happen when you least expect them. It's a good idea always have your camera with you - just a small camera bag and a tripod - and you won't miss some of those unexpected opportunities and once-in-a-lifetime shots. If you are caught without your camera, be sure to have a journal handy and take notes on scenes you'd like to return to with your camera.

With these tips, you'll be able to master the art of digital photography faster and easier, and you'll be a natural in no time! So, be creative, inventive, have fun - and just go shoot something!

Photowalk - How to Avoid the 5 Biggest Mistakes

You might know that Photowalk is the act of walking with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things that you may find interesting, and that people all over the world are organizing Photowalks with the main goal of getting PHOTOGRAPHERS (professionals, amateurs, enthusiasts, with big or small cameras) together to share their experiences.

Now, let's talk about how to avoid the 5 biggest mistakes when you are going to a Photowalk.

1- Good Information
Once you find a Photowalk that is going to happen in your area, the first thing you need to do is to get in contact with the person that is organizing the Photowalk (leader) and get as much information as possible about the event. Check out some details like; the date, the time, the location and the duration of the event. Check also what is the minimum number of people required or maximum number of people allowed and if you have to sign in online or you have to get to the location a little earlier at the day of the event.

2- Planning Ahead
Now that you know that you are going to a Photowalk, it is time to plan ahead about what equipment to bring; camera, flash, bag, etc. You can also ask the Photowalk Leader for some good advice.

3- Checking the List Twice
At the day of the Photowalk, don't forget to go over your list checking all your equipment, including some extra batteries and etc.

4- Less is Better
Always remember that you are going to be walking for one or two hours. If you are a Professional Photographer and you are shooting an important event, it might be necessary you to bring your whole collection of cameras, lenses, filters, flashes, tripods, remotes and etc. But if you are going to a Photowalk and you just want to have some good time with other Photographers and other people that love photography as much as you do, I would recommend you to bring only the essential;
- 1 camera
- 1 or 2 lenses
- 1 Flash
- Few extra batteries (for camera and flash)
- Camera bag

5- Last Few Details
Because most of the Photowalks are done outside, and because we prefer to start it around 9:00 am or 5:00 pm, I always ask people from my group to bring some extra few items;
- Hat
- Sunscreen
- Water Bottle
- Snack
- etc

Going to a Photowalk will help you improving your photography skills, but remember that you are also there to make some extra friends and enjoy the experience. Try to share your experience and feelings with other members of your group. It is very common that after the Photowalk everybody gets together in a bar or restaurant around the area so they can relax, have a good time and share their experiences.

Don't forget to post your pictures on the "Group's Website" (Check the website address with your Group Leader), and Good Luck.

Hunting Camera Selection Tips

When choosing a hunting camera price and features are important. However, the setting where the camera will be utilized is also a significant factor. Cameras placed along a trail require different characteristics than a camera placed at a food plot. To make sure hunters choose the best trail camera for capturing deer images they need to look at the criteria for each type of scouting location.

Feeder Area

With feeder sites most hunting cameras will be just fine. The deer are attracted to a precise area so hunters don't have to be concerned about having a hunting camera with an excellent detection device. If the camera has a short flash distance, hunters can position the camera accordingly. For feeding areas, hunters don't need to pay extra for a fast trigger time.

Trail Area

When selecting a hunting camera to scout a deer trail a fast trigger reaction time is vital. Some deer will be moving fast enough that a slow trigger time will prevent the capturing of their images. Most of the time a trail location does not allow hunters to place the camera far enough away from the trail to utilize a hunting camera with a slow trigger time.

Spending extra money for a fast trigger time is worth it for scouting trails. Infrared flashes are also a good choice in this close situation since they don't scare deer and they react quicker than incandescent flashes.

Food Plot

When taking pictures at a food plot the hunting camera will typically be functioning in a broad area. Choose a camera which features a wider than average detection zone and a long detection zone. Hunters using cameras which produce a weak flash often are disappointed with the images taken at a food plot.

Remote Hunting Areas

A hunting camera with a long lasting battery is essential unless you have time to frequently replace batteries. Select a trail camera which includes an external battery jack. Hooking up a 12 volt battery provides the camera with an extensive amount of functioning time. Solar chargers have become popular with hunters.

Public Areas

Unfortunately, hunters have been known to loose cameras due to theft. It's important to properly camouflage the camera. Using camouflage tape made for archery can be helpful. Wrapping a bungee cord around the trail camera and placing some vegetation near the trail camera can be effective. Make sure the vegetation and the bungee cords are not blocking the sensors or the lens.

Quality locking devices and cages are also good choices. Usually, a security box can be bought to fit a hunting camera. Cables can be utilized to secure the camera, however, if a thief is determined to steal the camera he can use bolt cutters and other devices to detach it from its location.

Use an infrared flash to prevent attracting the attention of a thief. Due to the possibility of theft in public property, it may be best not to use an expensive camera.

Before selecting a hunting camera it's important to determine the specific type of location the camera will be operating in. The scouting site will play a major role in deciding the type and quality of camera that is required.

Turn Your Photo Into a Custom Mural

Many designers around the world are fascinated with creating custom photo murals. Decorating with murals dates back thousands of years. The digital camera has reinvented and modernized the wall mural. In today's fashion forward home decorating industry, photo murals have earned their rightful place of honor. Your own camera is the key.

Once you have decided you would like to create your own custom mural, you need to find the perfect photo. You may already have it on your camera. If so, tha's great. If not, you will want to find your subject and take the best possible photo. This can be a lot of fun. Turn an ordinary day into a really cool adventure with the mission of finding the perfect image for your own custom mural to be displayed in your home or office. Take your camera with you as you stroll city streets on a night out-city lights, buildings and night time reflections make awesome photos. If you're heading to the beach or a mountain hike, you will have unlimited photo opportunities as the position of the sun and clouds change throughout the day.

Think outside the box- from dairy farms to apple orchards to city parks to abandoned buildings; you will find beauty in the extraordinary as well as the mundane if you just keep your eyes open. Adjust your settings such as flash, exposure, and color for unexpected results that will often surprise and delight you. A blurred photo can be beautiful and look intentional and make a remarkable photo mural. It all depends on how you look at it and your own personal taste.

One of the best things about having a digital camera is that you can take multiple snapshots of your subject and review them later once. As an example, I love textured photos of trees, leaves, roots, and rocks. So, whenever I go on an outdoors hike, I ready my camera. I take pictures of anything and everything that catches my fancy visually. Once I am home I review the images (usually in the hundreds) and only save the ones that came out the best. I may delete three quarters of the pictures I took and that is because I have so many to choose from.

Remember, you will want the absolute best picture for your custom mural, so snap away. Once you have decided on your image for your mural, you will want to consider if you want it printed on wallpaper, poster paper, or canvas. This is a matter of your budget and personal preference. Posters are the cheapest option, and canvas printing is the costliest (however you can save money if you purchase the canvas unstretched). Wallpaper murals are in-between. Regarding function of the material, wallpaper murals are permanent and will last for years. If you would prefer to frame your image, you can opt poser paper. If you want the high-end look of a giclee, go for the canvas.

Remember, you are the designer here, so find a photo that moves you and go for it. You will love the look you have personally created for your favorite room.

Event Photography

I have been providing photography for corporate and special events for over 20 years. Our company is based in Palm Springs. There are quite a number of large resorts including the Marriott Desert Springs, Westin Mission Hills, La Quinta Resort, Renaissance Esmeralda Resort. Many companies hold their sales and incentive meetings at these resorts and frequently need photography. But what kind of photography?

It's very important for me as a photographer to ask the planner what they want to use the photography for. Are they going to use the photographs for a company newsletter? If so then I need to let the photographs be descriptive. They need to show what happened at the event, who was there, what they learned. Hopefully each photograph will tell the story of what the company did at their meeting and what their objective was.

What if the photographs are intended as gifts? Often, especially at incentive trips, the photographs are part of a thank-you gift to the attendees. In that case the photographer needs to capture images of the guests having a great time, enjoying the trip. Photographs that they might want to have in their home or in a scrap book. A favorite type of event to photograph is a multiple day incentive trip for a group of less than 200 people. The photographer can get to know the people and they get to know the photographer. Then it really shows in the photographs. People are more animated in the photograph. If they feel that their photographer is a friend, they they look at the camera in a different way. It shows in their face in the photograph. And the photographer has fun too!

We recently updated our website. As we were looking for photographs to put on the website it was clear when the people were having fun and knew the photographer, versus when the people didn't even though they were having fun. But the over riding objective when we photograph a corporate event is to make sure that we deliver what the planner wants with their photography.

Why Buy a Canon Rebel XT When the XT and XSi Are Available?

Well, the other day I was talking with a friend about the old Canon EOS 350D / Digital Rebel XT. This reflex camera is without doubt better than the previous 300D. I have used a Canon EOS 300D and it really is quite nice for what the price. But the 350D has some significant differences that are important to consider when comparing the two models. While the XT, and XTi further improve on this stalwart, the price is considerably higher.

Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT

Images can be captured in two different ways: using eigher the 8-megapixel CMOS or DIGIC II processor. This new version creates images up to 3472 x 2312 pixels. The sensor is APS-C 3:2, evolving from the legacy of film cameras. It comes with a filter (Low-Pass) that improves image quality by removing the IR but also allows the CMOS sensor and DIGIC II processor to minimize problems such as false color-lit areas.

General Characteristics

Most photographers will agree with me that nothing is more essential as lightweight photographic equipment. Many know what it feels like to lug a tripod, a gear bag, lenses, filters, a battery or two for different every camera you own. So, any compact camera design and materials usage that lightens the load, gets my vote. This camera is a 25% smaller than its predecessor and is 10% lighter. Plus, it be operated easily with one hand.

This camera offers a continuous shooting mode that lets you take 3 frames per second and process up to 14 photos at a time. An important feature for those who tend to get into high speed and volume photography. The shutter speed is equal to the predecessor: 1 / 4000 and flash sync at 1 / 200. The camera starts in 0.2 seconds and has a backlog of 100 milliseconds shooting which lets you take pictures and work more efficiently. This model has 7 points and 3 auto auto modes.

Connectivity in the Rebel XT comes with a few changes. This time the camera uses USB 2.0, which transfers pictures between the camera and computer ten times faster and considerably more efficiently. This explains how one can connect the camera to the laptop and take photographs from the computer directly to their laptop. This feature alone has many applications. Especially, if you consider scientific applications, or advertising where the environment will require minimal changes the photographer needs to be away from the camera and operate other equipment. Especially when using mechanical assistants that utilize tripods and other electronic devices. Additionally, many photographers tend to easily take 1 GB of photos very quickly, making it slow to download a lot of photographs all at once. Many end up buying flash card readers to speed up the process.

Some facts about the lenses, file formats.

The lens system is compatible with EF lenses, including EF-S lenses. The system aims using a EF mount. The effectiveness is less than 8 megapixels, but the camera pulls up to 8.2 (as well as the 20D). The most common formats are available for this camera, including RAW (Exif 2.21), and DCFS 2.0. The camera saves bot RAW + JPEG.

Archival Matting and Framing for Your Fine Art Photographs

If you want your fine art photographs and other artwork to last a lifetime, use the best framing you can afford. The more valuable the artwork, the more you should invest in using professional matting and framing to ensure the matting is archival, that the image is dust-free, and the glass or Plexiglas is of the highest quality.

Professional framers use matting to separate the artwork from the glass. Using acid-free matting will lend stability to the artwork over time. Professional framers also use backing board and then seal the back with a paper dust cover to preserve the image from deteriorating, becoming discolored, and to prevent dust and insects from getting inside.

They also use archival quality adhesive tapes like acid-free linen tape and museum grade mounting corners. When you go to a framer, ask them specifically how they will mount your images and if your artwork is valuable, insist on conservation framing. You will pay extra for it, but its worth it.

If you want to try framing yourself, visit an art supply store that sells conservation material to buy acid free materials. Never use scotch tape, glue sticks or masking tape on a photograph. For high-end conservation framing, 100% cotton rag matboard has the most longevity, according to the standards set by the Library of Congress.

When you see fine art photographs hanging in hotels, restaurants or other public spaces these days, you rarely see a window mat around the image. I must admit, this trend is aesthetically beautiful. But the reality is that its terrible for the image. In these locations, no one is really interested in permanence. So if you want your fine art photos and other valuable art to last a long time, separate the image from the glass with a mat. And make sure the mat is archival!

Since I personally like the look of frames without mats, especially for posters, and some contemporary photography and kids art, my rule of thumb is that if its something that you think youll just hang up for a couple of years or if its something that was inexpensive and you like this look, then go for it. But if you want it to last forever, if it has personal sentimental value, if its a limited edition or if its a major investment, then use a mat.

Learn Digital Photography - All About Digital Camera

Needless to say, when you want to get into photography, you will need a camera. Although film based camera still has its reputation in the field, it is recommended that you get a digital camera for the hobby due to its user friendliness.

Digital camera owes its existence to NASA where digital imaging was developed to help astronauts to navigate their spaceship. During that time, the camera certainly looks different what you have today. It was using a mosaic photosensor to produce digital photograph.

This photosensor was later developed into a charge coupled device (CCD) which most compact digital cameras are having now. The CCD will record the picture when light struck on it. Then the recorded images will be converted into digital data to be display on the LCD screen and later stored in memory.

As the technology improves, these cameras were developed into a few categories and among the few famous one are the compact digital camera, bridge camera and DSLR (digital single reflex lens) camera.

Compact digital camera is the point and shoot camera that occupied the consumer market. It is smaller in size, affordable and suitable for occasional photographer. Bridge camera is the camera that shares the feature of point and shoots camera and DSLR camera. It has similar manual control as DSLR and cheaper than DSLR. DSLR camera is considered as the professional camera and you can change lenses depending on the purpose of your photography.

Now, you can only enjoy digital photography when you have the right camera. When you are starting on photography, you should start with compact or bridge camera. Not just that DSLR is more expensive, it is also more complicated. You will have problem enjoying the hobby when you have problem appreciating your tool.

So, when you are choosing your camera, the first thing you need to think is your purpose for photography. When you intend to move into the professional segment, you can start with a bridge camera. It is wise that you get yourself familiarize with the features and functions before you move forward with something more advance.

Progression of Digital Camera Technology

Digital cameras are devices that record images digitally on a light sensitive sensor. They can be used to take still photographs or videos. Highly versatile, they can take thousands of images on a single memory device, can record video with sound, edit these images and delete them allowing re-use of space. Digital cameras have been incorporated into many other devices like PDA'S mobile phones and vehicles. The Hubble Space Telescope is a digital camera.

Initially, the idea of digitizing images on scanners was used by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to provide astronauts with navigational information. A mosaic photo sensor would record locations of planets and stars. This would help astronauts to orbit and land. The FUJI-DS-ISP 1986 was the first true digital device that recorded images in a computerized file. The first digital camera with LCD was the Casio QV-10 in 1995.The image resolution is achieved by the camera sensor that turns light into discrete signals. Millions of "buckets that make up the sensor, count the number of photons that strike it. The brightness of the image is dependant on the number of pixels (the smallest unit of information for an image).

The rapid technological improvements have dramatically reduced costs. "Pixels per dollar" has become the measurement of value of a digital camera. The camera either uses the single shot or the multi-shot method of capturing an image. This refers to the number of times the sensor is exposed to the light passing through the lens. Scanning is another method wherein the sensor moves like a desk-top scanner. In some cases, scanning is achieved by rotating the whole camera, enabling one to get images of a very high resolution. In recent years, technical improvements have made single shot and LCD based cameras very popular in commercial and digital photography.

Let us dwell on the connectivity of these new model digital cameras. Early computers used the Serial port to transfer data. There are cameras that use wireless connections via Bluetooth or IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi.Modern cameras come equipped with Pict Bridge Standard which allows for the automatic transfer of data to a Pict Bridge capable computer printer, thereby circumventing the need for a computer.

These cameras lend themselves to a variety of uses. They allow one to view a photograph as soon as it is taken. With constant improvements in technology, and cutting-edge software available, modifications and digital manipulations seem almost endless. They are ideal for sports enthusiasts, who can capture fast action in all its glory. They are ideal for capturing loving moments of family get-togethers. Professionals and amateurs can use these cameras to freeze those special moments of life that come rarely!
