If earlier photography was the lot of the elite, today everyone can take pictures. The range of photographic products allows you to choose almost any camera, from the simplest to the most advanced, SLR, with interchangeable lenses. However, the quality criteria are different for everyone. Therefore, when choosing a camera, you first need to decide what you expect from it. This will help our advice.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the price you are willing to spend on your camera. There is no point in looking at cameras for fifty thousand rubles or more if you need an inexpensive option. Keep in mind that a price run of two or three thousand rarely decides anything as a camera. If you are going to take a camera with an interchangeable lens, be prepared for the fact that individual lenses sometimes cost more than the whale (that is, the basic configuration) camera itself.
Step 2
Decide exactly what you need a camera for. Each camera has a set of functions, choose the ones that you need. For example, if you will often shoot from long distances, pay attention to cameras with good zoom. If you take a camera with automatic modes, then look for one with modes that you will definitely use. for example, sports photography, portrait photography, macro photography (very close-up), and so on.
Step 3
Remember that the best camera for you will be the one with which you are comfortable. Therefore, pay attention to the external characteristics. First of all, the size. A DSLR with interchangeable lenses is unlikely to fit into a handbag. Conversely, if you are used to walking with a backpack, or are always ready to carry a wardrobe trunk with you, you can take a larger model.
Step 4
Consult with professionals. Go to special sites on the Internet. But be prepared for the fact that with amateurs on professional forums, sometimes they do not really stand on ceremony. Therefore, clearly formulate your requests: what do you need a camera for, preferred price, set of functions.
