Whilst Camera Technologies Are Developing All The Time, Cameras Can Be Very Personal Tools To Some People, To Which They Become Very Attached, And Personal Preference Can Be Essential Even As A Professional. So A Photographer May Prefer A Camera He or She Has Been Working With For Years Rather Than Seeking Out The Latest Camera Model A Camera Company Releases Each Year. Some Even Work With A Number of Different Cameras.

As Camera Tech Is Always Evolving It’s Also Worth Trying Different Brands, Not Just The Big Boys.

Going To A Camera Exhibition Is A Great Way To See, Touch, And Try Different Cameras And Their Features, And Learn More About Photography Generally. We Attended The Photography And Video Show Live Last Year At The Excel Exhibition Centre And It Was A Real Eye Opener.

Sony Had A Particularly Great Stand With A Particularly Large Long Lens Camera With A Great Display And Explanation of The Power And Effectivenss of It’s ‘Blur’ Feature [Sony.co.uk].

The Basics Can Also Be Important. Including Colour, Texture And Grip (How One Holds One’s Camera Makes All The Difference).

Notwithstanding Professional Cameras Being Big Business, By Far The Most Popular Camera Is The Compact Pocket Camera (aka A ‘P & S’, Point And Shoot). They Can Work Well For The Lay Person And Can Be Handy For The Professionals When They Don’t Want To Hump Around The Bigger Heavier Models (Which Can Be Quite A Job To Carry).

The Sale of Mobiles However Saw Sales of The Compact Fall. The Upside of That Is Digital Camera Manufacturers Have Been Moved To Make Them Even Better Now, And They Have Evolved To Look More Dynamic With A Few More Dynamic Features, Including Secondary Lens Mounts (Even Though Non Have Interchangeable Lens Capabilities). Most Work Best On Pre-Programmed Auto-Settings. Compacts With PASM Can Help Make Life Easier For The Photographer; (Programs, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, And Manual Modes).

The High End Brand Camera Market Is Currently Dominated By Five Japanese Companies;

1. Canon
2. Nikon
3. Olympus
4. Pentax
5. Sony

[For Over Forty Years Canon Has Consecutively Registered The Most Camera Patents And For Over Twenty Years It Has Had The Most Worldwide Camera Sales @canonuk].

The Single (SLR) Camera, The Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera (DSLR) And The Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Camera (MILC) Have Developed Successively Over The Years Allowing Photographers To Preview Pictures With Ever-Increasing Precision. High Quality Live Preview On An Integral LSD Screen Is Now Standard. But of Course, The Truth Is Size Does Matter!

Full Frame or A Smaller Image Sensor Are Basic Considerations (Wide Angle or Narrow Field of View For Instance). As Are (Interchangeable) Lenses For Length And Distance (Long Lens And Zoom Capability For Instance). Pixel Power Is Crucial For Clarity And Sharpness (A Good Standard Mobile Camera Can Start At 13 Pixels (MP) For Instance, But A Good Digital Camera – 16 Mega Pixels For A Compact One Or 22 Upwards To A Whopping 150 (MP) At The Other End of The Scale.

Plus There’s Shutter Speed And Frames Per Second (FPS), In Order To Capture Dynamic Fast Moving Situations or Images. For Example Despite Olympus Selling To OM Digital Solutions And Rebranding As OM System Cameras, It Still Retains A Winning Reputation For Sports Photography Technology, Especially As The Name Would Suggest, At The Olympics [explore.omsystems.com].
