Advantage Of Digital SLR Cameras

Know what's the advantage of digital SLR camera?Let me tell you,they're FAST.Imagine it yourself at this situation when you're attending big event and wanted to capture a photo of the complete moment.You'll set up to get the shot but your compact digital camera just wont focus.So by the time it finally focuses and you press the button there's already a delay in between the time you want to take the photo,the moment is over.You missed it.That's how pathetic it is right?If this scenario I'm talking is as frustrating for you as it was for me,you'll know and see why speed is significant advantage in digital SLR cameras.



Build For Speed in SLRs

You might be asking yourself why some compact cameras are slow where else digital SLRs are fast since they are both cameras.Well,this is what i called it electronics vs mechanics.Remember the site i explained "What is a digital SLR",there's a picture diagram of the insides of a digital SLR camera.You may noticed that there is a device called 'shutter' that sits infront of the digital SLR sensor.When you take a photo the 'shutter' (made up of two curtains) opens and closes.This is the different from compact digital where there is no 'shutter' mechanism built in.In compact cameras the sensor is electronically activated every time you take a photo.The advantage of the mechanical solutions is that it is fast response because once you press on the 'shutter' button and the 'shutter' snaps open.It will never delay when you want to capture a photo of a lifetime.If you think this was the only advantage of digital SLR cameras but it might be enough for those who is frustrated with slow motion compact camera.Anyway,for those of you who is still skeptical here are few others advantage.

Changeable Lens For Every Occasion Or Event

If you want to take a landscape picture then you'll need a wide-angle
lens.With wide-angle lens it can render powerful images.This lens
is sharp because it can work under any lighting conditions and offers
superior imaging characteristic.It is extremely handy for shooting
vast landscapes,large buildings as well as shooting from within
the confines of a small room.




If you want to take photograph like insects for example ants,bugs,flowers or portraits you'll then need a macro lens because this lens is compact,light,easy to handle and convenient to use.It is high contrast from maximum aperture and renders detailed imaging as one would expect.This is a multipurpose lens suitable not only for photography but for any subject.Micro lenses have a good imaging performance which they are often seeing being dull.However this is modern design lens provides good sharpness and blurring effect making it convenient for shooting portraits and other general shots.



Of course i know all those fancy compact cameras now have built-in mega zoom.But let me tell you,with digital SLR cameras,i can get one lens that does it all.




As You know zoom lenses in compact cameras which take time to zoom in and out since the zoom is driven by a motor.Where else you manually control the zoom of a digital SLR, and can zoom as fast or slow as you like.








High Quality But In Low Light


One clear about the advantage of digital SLR cameras is that that they're able to capture photos even when there's not a lot of ambient light.You'll might probably telling me so what?Every camera can take a photo when there's not a lot of light,just turn on the flash.Then you're wrong.Here's the trick,digital SLR cameras can do it without the flash.Digital SLRs are able to take photos when there's is available a little light because of the features called ISO.It makes the digital sensor more sensitive to light while several compact digital cameras will also let you change the ISO but its difference because as you increase the ISO ( and increase the camera's sensitivity to light) you actually also add grain or "noise" to the image.Meanwhile for the digital SLR cameras,the advantage is when it comes to high ISO setting,they produce very little noise.I can't say the same about compact cameras but once you start to get used of using SLR cameras,you'll find out the difference.


Control That You Have

I would say this is my all time favorite advantage of digital SLR cameras.Why?Because i don't
like a machine to be making decisions for me.The human brain will always be better at judging a scene then a camera set automatic.With digital SLR,you have complete control over every photo you take and don't have to rely on the camera to make choices for you.Even if you;re not ready to make the jump to a fully manual camera,no worries because every digital SLR camera let you you an automatic setting by providing you with intermediate steps that offer increasing levels of control over for your images.
