The ABCs Of SLR Digital Cameras

By Terry Rudd


There are many different types of how-to books out there geared toward people who are unfamiliar with simple concepts like baking, or learning to knit. This article is somewhat similar. It is geared toward people who want to know about SLR Digital Cameras. For people who want to know about these things and get an idea about it, read on.

Back in the olden days, professional people like artists ad photographers carried around gigantic manual SLR cameras. They had a wide variety of accessories like lenses and flashes, and also needed a large quantity of film. Before digital photography was invented, professional photographers relied on their own skills to produce good quality photographs.

As unlucky as it may first seem for those "old-fashioned" photographers, it has been suggested that individuals that have experience with the original cameras may have an easier time using current SLR Digital Cameras.

When comparing normal cameras that you just point and click, SLR Digital Cameras are a little trickier. They do not focus automatically like an automatic camera. The user has to manually focus the lens to create the effects that they desire in the photograph.

That is how you can tell the people who really know how to use an SLR digital camera properly. They know that photography is an art and they want to find out everything there is to know and not just look good with a camera around their neck. And if you are good at this you could turn your avocation into a career that brings money and prestige.

A successful photography business however is not something that happens overnight! Beginners may find it best to start out with the entry-level SLR Digital Cameras. Those who are new to photography and looking to buy a new camera should pay special attention to exactly what it is they are purchasing to avoid buying an overpriced Zoom Camera instead of an SLR Digital Camera!

To someone who knows no different, the mistake can be a simple one to make. However knowing the difference between SLR Digital Cameras and Zoom Cameras will allow you to easily avoid this. An SLR Digital Camera is the new and improved version of the old manual SLR cameras that were used back in the day while a Zoom Camera is simply a flashy version of your typical point and shoot camera that is typically very expensive. Don't be fooled by the price tag, just because something costs more does not mean it is better!

There are other things to consider when purchasing your first SLR Digital Camera. There will be other equipment that is needed for the camera like a good quality camera bag. It is important to have this so your new purchase is not damaged due to lack of protection. Also, it is good to have a memory card reader to be able to quickly access the photos that are taken. The last few items that are needed are a flash, neck strap, and lenses, but these could be put off for a future purchase.
