subject: Finding the right digital camera [print this page] In addition to the technical facts, factors such as user-friendly operation of the camera play an important role. In the current digital camera models, at least one childhood disease could be cured of digital photography: the weak-battery. A digital camera test of Stiftung Warentest has calculated for all models tested good to very good results. Only the Pentax X70 could not convince the operation. Compact cameras are particularly suitable for beginners: you are handy, fit in your pocket and work automatically. They are ideal for those who think the word photo in particular snapshots. are compact, with good performances have been for about $100. However, the possibilities for manual and artistic adjust in the camera settings are limited.
As the number one issue here is the picture quality to be considered. It is about the optical zoom digital camera, the image resolution and the imaging properties of the micro chips. On the electronic zoom should not be discussed further at this point. For serious photography, this is more of a nuisance than something for which you want to spend money. The resulting zoom lens in that usually represent a balancing of the following interests: the highest possible light transmission is in competition with the need for geometrically accurate image reproduction. While built for a high optical transmittance ideally less lenses, more lenses allow a better correction. Alternatively, improve, higher purity and finer lenses, mechanical set those important lens parameters. That is what the lens of a SLR differs from a compact camera - the purity of the lenses and the optimized mechanical voting.
What's more, that the capacity of a compact camera to enter the zoom, in competition with the request, take all necessary corrective to the optical lenses fitted. The technological challenge begins at the point where the look of both coarse of a few centimeters back and will be brought here later by micrometer fine as possible to adjust the lenses. the light, the lens has happened, the imaging micro chip sets from point to point along the image. It determines the image resolution of the image size. Particularly high resolutions are required for printing and providing resolutions are likely beyond the 9 million points for the large-print. That is about the current limit in a compact camera, which images can be produced with fairly good image quality. At this point the latches ultra small chip logic for you. are the same image quality with more pixels it in half thousand expensive SLR cameras with larger, because kleinbildformatigen, image sensor chips.
