What Type Camera Should I Buy !!!

With the wide variety of digital cameras on the market today, most beginning photographers ask, “Which camera should I buy?” The answer to that question usually depends on how much money you can spend and what type of photography you want to do.

There are 3 types of popular consumer-based cameras:
1. Point-and-Shoot,
2. Compact,
3. DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras.

The biggest difference between the first two cameras and a DSLR is that with the DSLR camera you can
change lenses, whereas with the first 2 types the lenses are fixed. Today I am gonna write about 1st type of Camera ie. Point-and-Shoot camera.

Point-and-Shoot cameras:

Point-and-shoot cameras are the most widely used of the three types of cameras. Most people treat these cameras as they are named in the industry. They pick up the camera, compose a shot and shoot. They‟re not too concerned about advance features (e.g. White Balance and ISO controls, for instance) and control over manual exposure. They shoot largely in Automatic mode, which means the camera sets the exposure settings for them.
Here are the advantages and disadvantages of point-and-shoot cameras.

Advantages 
> Relatively inexpensive, ranging from Tk. 12000-Tk. 32000.
> Convenient, lightweight and small enough to carry in your pocket or bag.
> The lens of a point-and-shoot usually has a range of focal lengths, from wide to medium long.
> Automatic features that help users take photos.

Disadvantages
 > Can‟t change lenses and sometimes can‟t use other accessories like external flash.
 > Often slow in operation, which means you might get blurry shots, or you might miss shots all together.
 > May be limited in exposure features, such wide range of aperture or high ISO speeds.
 > Small LCD screen for reviewing images.

Point-and-shoot cameras are your best buy if you‟re not looking to make digital photography a serious hobby or profession. If your budget for a camera is limited, point-and-shoot cameras are good option.

If all you can afford a point-and-shoot camera, don‟t think you can‟t get make great photos, because you can. These cameras are great for everyday family and vacation photos. If you own a DSLR camera, a point-and-shoot makes for a great backup and secondary camera that you can keep in your car or travel bag.

That's all for now, I will be right back with the other two types of camera shortly. Have a Good Day.
