Nobody Knows Digital Cameras Like ME
August 14, 2008 – 6:51 pmGetting the best of anything in life is more about conscious endeavoring than dumb luck. That best of list will of course be different for everyone . . . and include everything from autos to sailboats, to family, to digital cameras. That last item may seem a little weird to have in my list, but what the hey, I’m just trying to have a little fun. Fun is after all, what makes something worth doing, even if it is just reading an ditty online. Ever since we’re little, we’ve been instructed to go for the unsurpassed of whatever it is our little heart desires. I mean, hey, who wants to waste their cash on useless stuff?
Not since the invention and elevation of the personal computer has a technology moved so persistently as that of digital cameras. Just to make things a little more interesting, the constant flow of new makes and models from the desks of camera manufacturers is enough to make one dizzy. The interpretation of real value will have been changed once again. To many, (me included) this constant barrage of new technologies is really really cool. While most digital camera researchers turn into digital camera purchasers, there are some who never will make the leap.
Lucky for peopleselling digital cameras, there are a few brave individuals that actually purchase a camera. For some shoppers the final purchase is a inevitable goal. A real purpose is what motivates most digital camera shoppers to broaden their horizon about the technology. The camera may be destined for dinner party work, vacation snapshots, graduation party celebrations, or freelance work. Fortunately, buying the finest camera for you doesn’t require buying the latest bells and whistles available.
All the salespeople, and camera CEO’s may not want you to realize this, but the parts that make up a good camera really haven’t multiplied in the last generation. Starting at the beginning with a good lens, and a bulletproof (or at least shock proof) casing, should be more than enough to get you some great digital images. I’ve made bad conclusions in prior camera purchases by paying for features that weren’t all that important. Don’t do the same. You can of course spend your money any way you choose, but a camera feature only accessible under 3 layers of menu options may not be the smartest. Every photographer to first use a digital camera enjoyed the ease of removing poor photos, right after they were taken. After that, you have to question what else you really can ask a camera to do. Instead of spending extra money on nonessential aspects, you could just send the dollars to me . . . makes more sense
.
Don’t forget, that the world wide web is also built on some pretty sweet technology that can be of huge assistance in making your purchase decision. Fine laser targeting your search criteria via the internet is one of the truly enlightened things a smart consumer can do these days. I used several sites in the past that have helped me immensely in my digital camera shopping. Compare the top rated SLR cameras that Canon, Nikon, and Pentax offer with 9 megapixels, accessories, RAW formatting, and extra lenses. There no justification for anyone to make a poor buying decision in our generation with all the guidance readily available for free.
