What To Consider When Choosing A Lumix FZ45 Digital Camera

By Justin Davies


Before deciding to choose which Lumix FZ45 digital camera to buy, it is important to look at a series of factors. The most important factor to consider is the use of the camera. Whether it is intended for professional or domestic normal use. When this is determined then it will be possible to decide on the price.

When making such an important purchase, the buyer must keep abreast of the terminology used to define the features of the camera in order to make a sound decision. One of the most important features to be aware of, as a buyer is the camera resolution. A buyer essentially should go for the highest megapixel value they can afford on their camera. The minute, colored dots that make up an image are called pixels, and their density per inch in a photo determines the sharpness and size of the image.

Digital cameras often come with a choice of either digital or optical zoom. This defines the way in which the camera enlarges objects faraway. A general rule of thumb is to consider optical zoom more important as magnification using the lens system in a camera often produces a higher quality image than digital zoom, which simply uses the software to calculate the enlargement of an image. The images thus produced by manipulation through software, though enlarged, are often hazy and unclear.

There are some cameras that offer the option of both the digital and optical zoom. When used together the zoom capability is enable and increased. Zoom describes the number of times this zoom varies from one camera to another. The focal length of a camera is what dictates the difference between the two zoom options. The digital cameras that do not have zoom capability have focal points that are fixed. Whereas those with variable focal points are able to zoom in and out.

Macro lenses allow cameras with this feature to reproduce exceptionally high quality images as they provide the capability for extremely detailed close-ups of the subject, producing a very professional looking photo. This is a much sought-after feature especially with nature photographers.

Another feature of digital cameras is the ISO. The ISO is a measurement of the sensitivity of the camera to light. A higher ISO figure is an indication of a higher sensitivity to light, and results in the reproduction of sharper, more vibrant images.

The shutter speed and aperture are also features that cannot be ignored. Higher shutter speed enable action shots without blurring. And slow shutter speed enable capturing images of moving objects. The Aperture gives control over areas of focus on an image shot. The Lumix FZ45 is of great quality, reliable, durable and affordable.
