Digital Camera Shoot Out
Online resource helps consumers evaluate 6/7 mega pixel camera models
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) May 24, 2005 -- It is difficult to keep up with the latest
innovations in camera technology. The countless models with a range of mega
pixels and features, not to mention a wide variation in prices, can make buying
a digital
camera a confusing experience.
Digital cameras are all rated in Mega
Pixels and the Samy’s Camera website, known for their photography expertise and
commitment to educating their customers, has an in depth explanation of what mega pixels are and how they affect the image.
Complementing this article is a
digital camera
shoot-out using a series of different 6 and 7 mega pixel cameras. These
images are a useful visual resource for comparing results.
“In a way a
camera is a lot like a car,” says professional photographer David McCullough,
who authored the article on mega pixels. “Years ago I owned a VW station wagon
that had a Porsche engine in it. But that did not make it a Porsche. It didn't
drive like a Porsche, didn't look like a Porsche. Even though it had many of the
same components, it was the quality of the parts and what the designers and
engineers did with the various parts, which made it a VW or a Porsche. The same
applies to cameras.”
Digital cameras all have lenses and sensors and they
record the data for transfer to your computer or printer. But like cars, it is
the design, the components and the engineering that determine how well it will
function and do the job it was created for.
So which one to buy? The
simple answer is that it needs to be good enough to do what you want it to do.
Just as a car's specifications won't tell you everything about that car, neither
will the number of mega pixels tell you if a camera is the right one for
you.
It depends on what you expect the camera to do for you. Are you
going to use it to take photos to email to friends and family? Do you want to
make prints from your photos? If so, how large—4"x6", 8"x10" or larger? Are you
going to be shooting sporting events? Do you want to take photos to submit to
magazines and newspapers or for your company's publications?
The visible
comparative results of the shoot-out are an invaluable resource for how mega
pixels affect the quality of your images. Finding the right digital camera for
your needs can turn even the most amateur snapper into a good
photographer.
