DSLR Camera Bag for Traveling
By: Date: July 4, 2019 Categories: Camera Tags:

I’ve tried so many bags until I found one that I really like: Tamrac 5788 Evolution. This is my go to bag for travel and hiking.

Although not very stylish, this bag is so nicely made. The quality is great and the zippers slide easily (big deal for me). It has two different compartments: one for the camera and lenses and one for other items, such as snacks or even a light jacket.

The best thing about this camera bag: it provides three-way access to the gear and it can also be used as a backpack or as a sling bag. Need to change the lens quickly? No problem, just slide the bag and grab the lens. No need to put the bag on the ground. I love this feature.

Pros:

  • It’s very well-made and roomy
  • Well padded – keeps

Essential Camera Tips
By: Date: July 2, 2019 Categories: Camera

The first cause is simply holding the camera incorrectly. The solution to camera shake is just as simple: hold your camera correctly. Whether you use simple digital cameras or the latest SLR digital camera, the proper hold is the same: Hold your camera close to the body. Tuck in your elbows snugly against your sides. Maintain a steady and relaxed grip on your camera. Stand with your legs roughly a shoulder’s width apart.

The aim of these suggestions is to stabilize both the camera and your body. This will ensure that camera remains as still as possible.

The second cause are simply common mistakes made during shooting that increase the likelihood of camera shake. Even if you have a top-of-the line Sony digital camera with monitors, you will still need to avoid these common mistakes to ensure your camera images …

Accessories for Mirrorless Digital Cameras
By: Date: June 30, 2019 Categories: Camera

Accessory Types Here you can find a short list of the different types of accessories available for a Mirrorless Camera (or, actually, any Digital Camera).

  • Memory Card
  • Probably the most important of all, as you can’t use your camera without one. Unfortunately, most Mirrorless Cameras are sold without a Memory Card, therefore you’ll have to buy one separately.
  • Flash
  • In my opinion, the second most important accessory, if your camera doesn’t have a built-in one. In case it does, you could still need a more powerful and flexible one to get particular effects.
  • Spare Batteries
  • Almost as important as the flash, as some cameras tend to drain the battery very quickly. Besides, some cameras (like the Sony Alpha NEX 5) require you to remove the battery to charge it, which means you’d find yourself stuck if you don’t have a

Budget Digital Camera Review
By: Date: June 29, 2019 Categories: Camera

Our old digital camera was a Samsung, and as with most technology, it has quickly become outdated and difficult to use. There is a long delay between taking photographs and the speed when taking photographs is slow, therefore you sometimes miss that crucial shot! This can be quite frustrating and you can miss vital moments, especially when taking photographs of things like your children’s sports day.

Due to the problems encountered with our old camera, I found myself taking more and more photographs using my cell phone! My cell phone does have a good camera and takes better close up photographs than my old digital camera, a lot of my recent photographs have needed to be close up shots of small things. Hence the decision to buy a new camera.

We have looked at many camera’s one of the cheapest …

Camera Bag

Hauling your camera and its accessories around can be quite distressing if you lack the proper way to carry it. A camera bag eliminates all the hassle. Acquiring one should be based on how much equipment you have. Shoulder bags are the go-to choice for most as they offer easy access to the camera. It is likely that you will buy filters, flashes and lenses down the road and having a safe place to keep these will matter. Besides, a bag will shelter your camera from dust and rain.

Utility Strap

Holding on to your camera for the entire length of your photography session can be quite tiresome. If you need to use your hands, you are compelled to lay down your camera, which exposes it to damage and theft. This conundrum can be solved by investing in …

Basic Digital Camera Setup
By: Date: June 26, 2019 Categories: Camera

First thing a user needs to do is to power up the camera. Most cameras have a small amount of battery charge when it leaves the factory so a new camera should power up with no problems right out of the box. Check the lens and the viewfinder for plastic protective films as these cause blur either through the viewfinder or to the picture taken. This is a common mistake for camera beginners. Next, power up the PC and connect the data cable to it but do not connect the other end to the camera yet. Why? Because some cameras require installing the camera software first before connecting the camera and others require that the camera be connected before software / driver installation. In Windows 7 it would be safe to just connect the camera and then it will be …

Minolta Camera
By: Date: June 24, 2019 Categories: Camera

It is a common knowledge that the Japanese are the makers and users of the most advanced technology in the whole world. So we have a lot of faith in the products manufactured by any Japanese company. The body of the camera, the various types of lens, the features provided is unparallel. In this age of cut-throat competition, when various makers of cameras are bringing their latest innovations, Minolta camera has still retained its position. Minolta’s wide range of cameras prevents us to look beyond; we are spoilt for choice!

The features provided by Minolta camera are unique. The cameras manufactured in 1960s used the manual-focus technology. From there, the face of camera has evolved a lot.

Mega Pixels vs Lenses
By: Date: June 21, 2019 Categories: Camera

Every digital camera has a wide mixture of parameters and factors that we have to consider and think about when we are thinking of our next purchase. Today we focus on two of the most important ones. One is in the camera: the sensor and its resolution in mega pixels.The other is not in the camera, because the other, in fact, is what matters the most in photography: the lenses that you will use with your camera.

The sensor of your digital camera is the electronic device that will capture and register the light that arrives to your camera. The photons arrive to the lens and are focused onto the sensor which converts the analog signal into digital numbers that then get stored into the memory card of the camera. The more mega pixels your camera has, the more detail …

Buy Canon Digital Camera
By: Date: June 18, 2019 Categories: Camera

If this is your first camera you may be torn as to which is the best digital Canon. But consider instead what kind of pictures you like to shoot, or even, why exactly are you buying a digital camera anyhow.

Maybe its because you are expecting a baby and want to capture every glorious moment from his or her birth. Or could it be because you are going away on vacation?

Now if this isn’t your first camera, then are you replacing an old one, or will it be a back up camera?

While a point & shoot is lightweight & compact it robs you of tremendous creative flexibility and for this reason I always recommend a digital SLR over a point & shoot, especially if this is the only camera that you will have.

However there are many excellent
