To keep the holiday mood and chocolate tan… a camera will help. In order not to get lost in models, brands and megapixels, WDay.ru has prepared a review of the best cameras this summer.
Most of us already know that cameras can be compact and SLR. The compact ones are easy to use, fit in a pocket of swimming trunks and look more like a stylish lighter than a miracle of modern technology. However, with them you will hardly be able to beautifully blur the background, play with the illumination of the frame, or just feel like a cool photographer. All this will give you the so-called “DSLRs”, but they will not fit into a new fashionable clutch the size of a matchbox. We’ve included both in our review so that when you go on vacation, you have a lot to choose from.
Overview of digital cameras
Nikon: everything is grown-up The glory of Nikon SLR cameras is well known, and the cohort of photographers who call themselves “Nikonists” is very large. If you want to join a clan of professional photographers and, like the heroine of the movie “Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona”, proudly show your friends pictures of her friends smoking in black and white, you can take a closer look at the Nikon D5000. The SLR has been in service for many years, and you can improve your skills and the quality of photographs with the help of interchangeable lenses.
Panasonic: Two in One Panasonic decided that it was unfair to photograph either good or convenient. And we decided to break this vicious circle and create … a class of compact cameras with removable lenses. The fact is that interchangeable lenses have until now been the privilege of exclusively mirror models, and it was the use of the right lens for each shooting that made the pictures so high quality. The pioneer of this series is the Panasonic G1. So far, Panasonic engineers have not been able to achieve the size of a matchbox, but the idea of combining quality and convenience will be developed in the next line of models.
Canon Photo Toy The leader among compact cameras – Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS. This is a compact, handy camera, it weighs only 120 grams, but the possibilities are truly fantastic. According to user reviews, it has a very good screen quality, ergonomic button layout and an intuitive interface. Despite the small size of the lens, it takes very clear and high-quality photos and videos. The camera looks more like a graceful toy. Even at the highest ISO values (sensor sensitivity to light), digital noise is extremely negligible, and the battery “takes” up to 700 shots, about a third of which – with a flash.
Sony: austere and compact Sony was the first in the world to start producing ultra-zoom cameras: with their help, it was possible to photograph a handsome man lying under a palm tree on a neighboring island – so high quality that you could see the relief of a tanned body in detail. Now Sony is developing two directions in parallel: separately zoom (the company has models with 15x optical zoom – you can photograph cubes on the belly of a handsome man), separately compact. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC T500 has a XNUMXx zoom, but the lens does not extend, and therefore, with any settings, the camera will retain the shape of a pack of cigarettes.
