Digital images are created by light being focused onto semiconductors. The popularity of digital cameras has been closely linked with the increasing popularity of personal computing, both in terms of making advances features possible and how people prefer their pictures. Digital photography allows a paperless age, where people often prefer to store, view, and share images over the computer instead of printing them physically.
Creativity is highly personal, and it is what drives photography. When planning to get a digital camera, talk to those you know who own one. Extensive information is available on the Internet, so that you don't make your purchase blindly.
Certain features are invaluable for different types of photography. A large zoom lens is great when taking pictures of the great outdoors. Children move fast, so when taking photos of kids in action you'll want a fast response time. For indoor photography with people in set poses, you'll want a model that is good in dim light.
For novices interested in photography, a simple all-around model should do until you learn more about the challenges of taking photos. There are two kinds of digital cameras - the Point-and-Shoot, and the Digital SLR.
Point-and-Shoot Cameras
Beginners will like the point-and-shoot. It lives up to its name as most settings are automatic, and will adjust itself for you based on the environment and lighting. Customization can still be available as many cameras offer presets for environments like sunny, outdoors, indoors, etc.
The ISO (sensitivity to light) and focal length are calculated for you when using automatic settings. Some cameras are excel more at different environments than others, so keep that in mind.
The Compact is slim, and ranges in size from pocket cameras to ones than fit in a purse. Most compacts have wide-angle and zoom lenses, blur reduction, image stabilization, scene mode pre-sets, and face detection. They can also have LCD displays that are large despite the smallness of the camera.
For distant subjects, check out Optical Zoom cameras. They capture small details, and can crop a scene easily. Optical Zooms have a feature where the camera lens is physically adjusted to improve image quality, with a natural-looking image. Digital Zoom crops the image and then enlarges it to fill the frame - this affects the quality and clarity of the image. Cropping can also be done easily on your PC.
The Single Lens Reflex (Digital SLR) Camera
The Single Lens Reflex has a dual-function lens. The lens captures the image and shows it to you in the viewfinder. SLRs offer features such as interchangeable lenses, lots of customization, and a wide array of manual controls. You can create photos of any composition you desire. Depth of field and focus will be adjusted automatically by the camera. This camera allows the photographer to be as creative as they wish.
