How To Buy Digital Camera: Basics to Remember When Deciding Which Digital Camera is Right for You

2008-01-21T06:55:00.001-08:00

Important basics in digital camera selection to help avoid over or under buying when making purchase selection.

Basics to Remember When Deciding Which Digital Camera is Right for You.
With so many models and features to choose from, first-time purchasers of digital cameras have a tendency to make one of several mistakes:

First-time purchasers have a tendency to ‘over-buy.’
First-time purchasers have a tendency to make selection based on visual appeal alone.
First-time purchasers have a tendency to make selection based on name brand alone.
First-time purchasers have a tendency to make selection based on price alone.

Many people hold the false notion that the more expensive the camera, the higher quality it is and the better it performs. This is not necessarily true.

I have actually witnessed first-time purchasers select a particular digital camera because they thought it was “cute.” They didn’t have a clue as to what the capacities of the camera were. Upon questioning, they weren’t even familiar with the term “resolution.”

The above pitfalls can easily be avoided and a more educated selection made by first deciding what the main purpose for the digital camera will be. Determining its use will help to determine how much money should be invested, and what features are most important when making a selection.

For instance, will the main purpose of the digital camera be for personal use and convenience sake? Taking photos to share with family and friends over the Internet, on a personal web site, or prints made from a color printer.

Will the camera be used for semi professional purposes? A hobbyist involved in photography, perhaps, who will get a lot of use from the camera, perfecting technique and skill.

Or will the camera be used mostly for professional purposes by someone requiring the highest quality photos possible? Photos that may end up published, or reprinted for sale purposes.

Obviously, defining the purpose and use of the camera will help to determine the type, quality, and price range to shop for. Someone who wishes to purchase a digital solely to take pictures to send to Grandma of little Susie blowing out her birthday candles, or the new puppy chewing dad’s slippers, doesn’t require a $1,000+ camera with a lot of fancy extras. Similarly, a professional photographer or a writer who takes pictures to accompany article submissions will be happiest with an upper-end camera with quality resolution.

Unless money is no object and you are the type of person who only wants “the best,” deciding upon the main purpose of the digital camera should be a first step in deciding what type of camera to buy.

After deciding purpose, you are now ready to decide what features to look for in a digital camera. Do your homework. Educate yourself as to what various features are available, and what each means. Then, make a list of what you want in a camera. This will help prevent over-buying, or purchasing a camera that lacks the overall performance you desire.

Buy Digital Camera: Just the Right Digital Camera, at Just the Right Price!

2008-01-21T06:51:00.000-08:00

What features to look for in a digital camera, how to determine which camera is right for you, ways to find the best camera for the best price, and more, are all answered... A must read before making a digital camera purchase!

With the vast assortment of digital cameras available on the market, in a wide range of prices, it isn't surprising many persons are confused and overwhelmed when it comes to purchasing one.

Don't be intimidated. Before shopping for a digital camera carefully consider the purpose the camera will be used for, as well as resolution, memory, connection requirements, and how much you are willing to spend.

If you aren't already familiar with term such as resolution, memory, compression, etc. the time to familiarize yourself with digital camera jargon is before shopping for one, not during or after.

By knowing exactly what you want and setting a price range ahead of time, you avoid the lure of unnecessary features you may never use or spending more than you can afford.

If you want a digital mainly for the purpose of taking family photos, a lower-end model might be all you need. Even then, consider resolution capabilities; the higher the resolution, the higher the quality of the photo.

Consider also memory space; the higher the quality of photo taken, the more memory it consumes. Cameras that convert photos to a JPEG file format on the memory card will enable you can take and store more photos before memory is used up.

If you are a beginner, you will want to also consider ease of use when making a digital camera purchase. Opt for a model that will be easy to operate and feels comfortable in your hand, with features such as automated flash. More experienced photographers will most probably desire more picture-taking options and greater user control.

If you plan on shooting a lot of close-ups you will want a camera with a powerful optical zoom; at least a 3x.

Decide whether you want your camera to hook up to just a PC, or whether you want the option of notebook computer compatibility, or viewing photos over the television.

Now that you have narrowed down what features you most desire in a camera, take another look at what you are willing to pay, or what you can afford. You may need to make camera feature or cost adjustments. For instance, if you must stay in the $200-$300 price range, and picture quality is of the utmost importance, you might have to forgo some of the optional features you wanted for a model with higher resolution (megapixels).

Do research on-line for digital camera models, features, and prices before making your purchase. This will help insure you have a realistic idea of what is available, and in what price ranges. Take note of top consumer choices, and reviews.

Even if you decide to buy online, visit stores that sell the name brand and model of the digital camera you have decided on; stores that allow customers to handle the cameras. Decide how the camera feels in your hand; clumsy, or comfortable? “Play” with the features, and take special note of the LCD screen.

Even if you don't think you need one, an LCD screen comes in handy, so be sure it is easy to see and shows good detail.

Does the camera use a rechargeable battery pack? If not, the purchase of rechargeable batteries and a re-charger for a camera that requires standard batteries might be wise. Remember, digitals require a lot of power. You don't want to risk missing out on great shoots just because the batteries died.

Once you have decided upon a particular model, shop around for the best price. Check on-line, and for sales in electronics stores. Oftentimes you will discover that purchasing a digital on-line will offer a greater selection for a better price.

Photography Business: How to Sell Your Photos Online

2008-01-21T06:48:00.000-08:00

Stock photography websites are looking for new photos. If you can take decent shots with your digital camera, you could be earning money. Here´s how.

How to Sell Your Photos Online

Do you enjoy taking photos? Would you like to earn some cold, hard cash for them? Well, it isn’t that difficult, as long as you have a digital camera and access to the internet. A copy of Photoshop on your computer helps, too.

There are several websites that will pay you either a percentage or a small flat rate for the privilege of selling your photos. You just have to upload your images to the site and wait for people to start buying.

It sounds simple, but in reality, consumers are very picky about what they want to spend their money on, so here are a few guidelines to keep in mind when taking potential money shots.

- Have a focal point. A general snapshot won’t cut it, you need to focus on a person, a flower, etc.
- Go for an uncluttered background. A simple, one-color backdrop is best, but otherwise, try to avoid busy fairgrounds and the like.
- Good lighting is key. Don’t use your flash and try to take outdoor photos on sunny days.
- Include some black and some white in your pictures for good contrast.
- Go for bright, clear colors and stay away from muddy tones.

Most websites will give you examples of what they want as well as specific guidelines referring to size and file format.

So, you understand how to take a great photo, what do you take a photo of? The most popular categories include people, business, and symbolic. For people, there is a shortage of images because if you can see a face, there has to be a model release to go with it and many amateur photographers aren’t willing to have people sign forms. Business is always a money-maker, so shots of executives in suits or assorted office equipment (preferably in use) is a good way to go. Symbolism can be just about anything, like a broken glass heart or money stacks.

Once you have a handful or more of good photos, it’s time to upload them to a site that will sell them. A good place to start is Big Stock Photo. They offer a Level system that allows you to earn more money the more popular your photos are. A quick search online will yield several other stock photo websites that are accepting submissions as well.

With a good eye for saleable shots and a decent digital camera, you could soon be well on your way to earning!
