Types of Cameras


There are many different elements that define a photographer, and what kind of camera they use is definitely one of them.

There are two main types of cameras in Digital Photography:

Point-and-Shoot:
This is the type of camera that you're probably already familiar with. They provide consumers with affordable solutions to produce quality photographs. A majority of these cameras lack the level of customization that is provided by more advanced equipment. These cameras are ideal for people that just want pictures in an instant.

Digital SLR:
These cameras are not for the faint of heart, and are usually the ideal choice for more advanced photographers looking to expand their creative horizons. These cameras differ for traditional "Point-and-Shoot" cameras because they allow you full reign over settings like Shutter Speed and Aperture. The take higher resolution images and contain a series of mirrors that are crucial in the creation of a photograph. While these produce higher quality images, they can run at rather steep prices.

Maybe you should keep some of this information in mind next time you're in the market for a new camera.

Happy photographing!
