Choosing the Best SLR Camera for Beginners

Finding the best SLR camera for a beginner can be a challenge. Photography is a fantastic hobby and is one that anyone can take part in. With even a basic camera, you can take photographs you would display with pride. Photography can be for personal enjoyment or can be turned into a profession.

Most people take pictures, even more now that cell phones have cameras. Not as many go beyond seasonal or vacation photography, though. Those that do, however, find that a point-and-shoot camera just does not give them the flexibility to capture photos exactly like they want. So many people look for the best SLR camera for beginners. And they discover the number of choices can be overwhelming.

When choosing your first SLR camera, digital is the way to go. There are legions of fans of film SLR cameras, and they are cheaper. But digital SLRs allow the photographer to instantly see the image they’ve taken. That image alone, increases their knowledge of SLR photography fast. You get instant feedback and know immediately if you like the shot. (Or captured the one you intended) And if you didn’t, you can make some adjustments and try again.

Now back to your first SLR camera. There are ton of different options available to choose from. However, popping on down to your local electronic store should be your last step, not your first. a little research is in order to make sure you pick the best SLR camera for you.

A lot of the entry level SLRs are beginner friendly. Some of of them have on-screen guides to help you transition from point-and-shoots to a digital SLR. And most of them have some automatic settings so you could actually treat your SLR as a point-and-shoot. But don’t limit yourself to the automatic settings alone. The whole point of stepping up to a digital SLR camera is to use the custom settings.

So do some research on SLR cameras. One thing that might surprise you about SLR cameras is the feel of the camera. The way that an SLR camera feels is a lot different to a point and shoot and for some people it can take a little getting used to.

Now that you have an idea of what you’re looking for, head down to your local electronic store and check out the feel. Notice how the camera fits in your hand. Pretend you’re taking a photo… hold it like your shooting… transfer it from hand to hand… put it down then pick it back up. You may find that one camera just feels better than another.

Now I’m not trying to tell you what to do. But you can find a lot of good bargains on SLR cameras online. Amazon has great pricing so you should definitely check them out.

Purchasing and experimenting with an SLR camera can be a lot of fun. Becoming familiar with new terms such as shutter speeds and focal points can take a person’s photography to the next level. So do yourself a favor… check out Best SLR Camera and become familiar with lots of different cameras. Then buy the best SLR camera for you. You can thank me later.

What is a Digital SLR Camera and How Does it Compare With a Digital Compact Camera?

The term digital SLR stands for single lens reflex. It is so called because the SLR cameras use a mirror that is placed behind the lens.

Although SLR cameras for capturing still images have been in use for quite some time, the ones that could capture both the stills and the videos were introduced in 2008.

Earlier the SLRs were used only by the professionals. They were not very common and were costly as well. The good news is that the digital SLRs are becoming cheaper as the time passes and coming within the easy reach of even the amateur photographers. You can buy an SLR at the price of a high end digital compact camera.

How does the digital SLR work?

When the light enters through the lens, it falls upon the mirror. The mirror, in turn, reflects (throws) the light upon the focusing screen. The light passing through the focusing screen falls upon a block of glass called pentaprism, which reflects the image  that  can be seen  on the viewfinder. When you take a photo, the mirror flips up opening the shutter which exposes the digital sensor to light.

What- you- see- is- what- you- get photos

 The SLR uses the viewfinder to compose the photo and adjust the focus. You can, thus, get the photo of the original as you see it on the lens.

SLR camera allows for a wide range of lenses with different focal lengths.  You can change the lens whenever you like. This is what makes the SLR ideal for serious photography. Moreover, the image sensors of the digital SLRs are large and produce high quality photos.

Lightness and compactness vs. versatility and image quality

An attractive feature of the digital compact cameras is that they are cheap, light, compact and easily portable. You can just pop in the compact camera in your purse or pocket.

The SLRs are weighty and voluminous. Some of them are tank-sized  for professionals. But they provide the invaluable advantage of accommodating a large range of lenses and accessories that were originally designed for film SLR cameras.

Of late, new generation light weight ultra compact DSLRs have also been introduced in the market. They have small lens and  weigh around 20 oz / 0.5 Kg.

While the  crispness and sharpness  of the photos taken with the digital compact camera and SLR camera in broad day is by and large same, the SLR scores over the compact camera when you have to shoot in dim light or capture the fast running scenes of actions. This is because the SLRs have high sensitivity larger sensors.

Anti shake/vibration designs

The photos shot with non-SLR cameras in dim light or with long telephoto lenses may be blurred. The reason is that the camera gets shaken during the exposure. The SLRs are equipped with Image Stabilization (IS) systems that protect them from the impact of motion during exposure. Therefore, the photos shot with SLRs even in dim light or at long focal lengths  are sharp and excellent.

Speed

What makes the SLR much superior to the compact camera is its speed in taking pictures, which makes it ideal for action photography as there is a zero lag time.   Even the entry level SLRs shoot faster than the best compact cameras. So you can easily shoot both a sleeping and a running tiger with this camera.

Dust Removal mechanism

If you have to shoot in arid, dusty or even in humid and damp conditions, no camera can   beat an SLR. They have inbuilt dust removal systems that keep the sensor clean. They have weatherproof seals and solid magnesium alloy cases.

High Definition (HD) videos for HDTVs

This is another advantage of SLRs over the compact cameras. They can shoot High Definition videos. They come equipped with HDMI ports which allow the camera to be directly connected to the TVs.  You can view your videos on the TV.

So which camera should you buy?

It all depends upon your needs. If you want speed, exquisite professional looking photos even in dim light and more control  over the photos and are not bothered about weight and volume, go for an SLR. If you are just an occasional photographer wishing to carry the camera in your pant pocket, you can buy a compact camera.
