How to choose a camera?

Choosing a digital camera is not an easy task, but with at least basic knowledge, you can already understand which model you need. First of all, it should be noted that all cameras are divided into three main classes, which have a number of significant differences. In the assortment of the online store of electronics and household appliances in Ukraine PCshop Group you will find, first, compact cameras, secondly, SLR cameras, and, thirdly, "mirrorless" cameras or as they are abbreviatedly called MILC, the abbreviation means : Mirrorless interchangeable-lens camer.

Compact cameras

In the first case, the user receives a solution that requires a minimum of knowledge about the art of photographing as such. Most of the pictures here are done on automatic settings, but there are also manual settings that allow you to experiment a little. Compact cameras have a built-in non-replaceable lens, and the matrix provided here does not differ in size - most often 1 / 2.3. "Often manufacturers equip such solutions with additional functions, including Wi-Fi or GPS, and optics can have a large approximation.

This class is usually a choice of amateur photographers who use the device only to capture memorable moments on a holiday or on a distant and interesting journey. In the latter case, their compactness is just the way. However, compactness has to be paid for the quality of the images, which is worse here than in other classes.

SLR cameras

For users who want to get the best quality from their photos, developers offer more advanced SLR cameras. Among the main advantages of such models are the following: a large matrix, up to the size of full frame, which corresponds to the size of the standard film frame (36x24 mm), a mirror system that transmits the image from the lens to the viewfinder, the ability to change lenses. Lens change will allow you to optimally adjust to the specific conditions of shooting, and the first two qualities will provide you with great pictures. It is worth noting that in the mirror chambers traditionally a large number of the most diverse settings that professional users will need, perfectly comprehended this kind of art. Well, and newcomers in this case with the help of "DSLRs" will be able to have high-quality photos with a single press of the shutter release, setting the settings to "AUTO".

Mirrorless cameras

If we talk about mirrorless models (MILC), then these options can be considered a transitional option between compact cameras and mirror ones. Due to the lack of mirrors in their design, these cameras have a relatively compact size, while here manufacturers have made possible the replacement of lenses, which can be useful in work, both for amateurs and professionals. Also, mirrorless cameras will give odds to their compact counterparts in terms of functionality, showing the level of SLR cameras. As for the quality of the captured images, it, like the functional, is closer to that of "DSLRs", but still a bit inferior to them. In general, these models can be recommended to users who want to get the capabilities of SLR cameras, but are not ready to measure with large dimensions.

It should be noted that in each of these three classes there are well-known manufacturers, among which are names such as

• Canon,
• Nikon,
• Sony,
• Olympus,
• Panasonic,
• Pentax,

Which gives us a chance to make your choice among quality products.
