There are many new digital cameras in 2013 with advanced features, even many well-known camera manufacturer launching interchangeable lens cameras like Sony, Nikon, Pentax, Panasonic and Olympus. Even Canon also seriously launched Micro Four Third camera or interchangeable lens this year.
However, DSLR cameras have always been the largest selection of starters and photography enthusiast, the reason for the purpose of photography is more serious and professional.

Since the first camera you buy will definitely make a selection accessories further, for example to buy lenses, filters, tripods, camera bags and other photographic need.

If you are a beginner, but very keen to pursue the hobby of photography, then there are some tips you need to understand it so that you get the right camera and fun.
1. Determine the needs and budgets
Buying a DSLR camera as needed is a wise thing. Do not force yourself to buy an advanced camera features, but we do not need those features for everyday use. For beginners it is advisable to choose a camera with a model of affordable, or in accordance with the budget that you have today. It is more discreet, so you can buy other lenses such as tripod, wide-angle lenses, zoom lenses or other lenses in the future.

2. Sensor size
If you are going to buy a camera, then note the size of the sensor used to capture the image. Although many variations of size, are generally divided into three categories, namely Full Frame, APS-C and Micro Four-Thirds (MFT).
Full frame DSLR cameras are all digital SLR cameras that use the same size sensor with analog film size. So what is seen in the viewfinder so that the picture, without being reduced. APS-C sensor cameras have a smaller sensor size, so there is a missing part of a photo or crop. The advantage of APS-C sensor is the price to be cheaper and lighter body. The third type of sensor is a camera with Micro Four-Thirds sensor. Micro Four Third cameras is now the trend and in demand as an additional camera or as a companion to a DSLR camera. MT camera has a sensor size smaller than the APS-C, so that the body becomes smaller MFT cameras anyway, and certainly lighter and easier to carry anywhere without much reducing the quality of images produced.
Examples of full frame cameras: Canon 5D Mark III, Nikon D600, Nikon D700, Nikon D800, Nikon D4, Pentax K-30, Olympus E620 or Sony A99.
Examples of camera APS-C crop sensor: Canon 600D/650D/60D/7D, Nikon D3100/D5200/D90/D7000, Sony A390, Sony SLT A37/A57.
Examples of Micro Four-Thirds cameras: Fuji XE-1, Nikon J1/V1 series, Olympus EPL / EPM / EP series, Canon EOS-M, Panasonic GF series, Samsung NX series or Sony NEX series.
3. Megapixel
If planning to print the photos in large size, you should buy a camera with a resolution so that the images can also be printed as desired maximum. You can buy a new digital camera with more than 22 mega pixels. Do you really need this?
As an illustration, 4 MP resolution cameras can produce good print size 10R (like the size of a magazine cover). If you just want the photos to be shared on the Internet or social media, it is not too big Megapixel needed. Of course, you should buy a camera with a resolution of at least 10 or 12 Megapixel. Now you can get a Canon or Nikon DSLR camera with a standard 18 megapixel camera with an affordable price, such as the Canon EOS 600D and Nikon D5100. Both cameras have advanced features.
4. Speed
DSLR cameras have better speed than expensive pocket camera. Speed is often necessary when photographing a moving object such as a car that was speeding or watching a music concert.
5. ISO
Other feature of DSLR cameras that may need attention is the ISO setting for shooting in the dark. ISO is concerned with the sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light. The greater the value of the setting, the more sensitive the camera and the light are obtained.
6. Image Stabilization / Anti Vibration
Another thing to note that choosing a DSLR camera is Anti shake systems. Because pictures taken in poor lighting or retrieved remotely are prone to opaque (blur) due to hand movement or unintentional camera. Image Stabilization is designed to avoid this.
7. Size and Model
Size DSLR camera is big and not like a regular digital camera. But there are also some DSLR cameras are lightweight and can be taken anywhere on the go. Even as reviewed above, the type Four-Thirds camera is comfortable to carry anywhere with a small form. You also can create fantastic picture with MFT camera.
Again, whatever camera you choose, make sure you adjust your budget, your needs and your readiness to add accessories in the future. If you are serious, then you can become a professional photographer, you can even become rich from the hobby of photography.

 |
| Nikon Coolpix 8800. Image: wikio.fr |
In recent years, photography enthusiasts often get a surprise with the presence of a wide range of digital cameras with a variety of types and advanced features. Digital SLR camera also gets a serious threat of mirrorless cameras.
Is a Prosumer camera also become a serious contender in the online store, and traditional shops? Prosumer camera can be an alternative for novice photographers and anyone who is bored with Digital SLR cameras which bulky and heavy.
Why there is prosumer camera in the world of photography?
The term "prosumer" is a combination of professional and consumer. When a camera is usually referred to as a prosumer model characterized the ability of point and shoot but has more advanced features than a pocket camera, among others, as it has the ability to use manual exposure settings, ISO settings, as well as the the availability of RAW format image capture. RAW format is generally only available on professional cameras or in the entry-level digital SLR camera.

Prosumer camera manufactured for photography enthusiasts who are enthusiastic, but not yet ready to buy a digital SLR camera or mirrorless cameras which more expensive than a prosumer camera. Some examples prosumer camera is the Canon PowerShot S120, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and Nikon Coolpix 8800. You can find a prosumer camera on another brand, of course.
Nowadays the main difference is the size dimensions DSLR, prosumer is smaller and lighter than a DSLR as well as his ability is still under DSLR. Viewfinder on prosumer indirectly obtained from the lens, there is even a small LCD that uses a electronic viewfinder (eg Nikon Coolpix 8800).
Prosumer and interchangeable lens
A few years ago prosumer lens can not be replaced, but now prosumer cameras already "align themselves" with a DSLR camera with the ability to change the lens, although not so many choices. Examples prosumer camera is the lens which can be replaced Olympus Pen E-P2, Panasonic Lumix GF3, Samsung NX20. We hope your 2014 will be available more lens options. Panasonic and Olympus serious possibilities to meet the needs of the lens for serious photographers.
In general, the DSLR has a sensor size (much) larger than the pocket or prosumer. Among pocket camera / prosumer itself was the size of the sensor varies; most cameras have a sensor 1/2.3 inch diagonal, while the camera is more "good" has a 1/1.7 inch sensor size. Compare with the DSLR sensor has a diagonal about 1 inch.
Prosumer cameras have a lens that is flexible , and the ability to change settings more sophisticated than a pocket camera, but the image quality is not much different, but you can not underestimate the Prosumer camera because camera manufacturers increasingly improve the sophistication of prosumer cameras.

In terms of marketing, prosumer cameras have the possibility to compete with digital SLR cameras and mirrorless cameras. More affordable price can be a compelling reason for consumers to prefer a prosumer camera , which is also often referred to as a bridge to get to level Digital SLR camera, which is more sophisticated and certainly more expensive.
Prosumer camera is very comfortable to use for leisure activities, family events, even for social and business events. You will be comfortable using prosumer camera for vacation and adventure in exotic places.
The price of the prosumer cameras is more affordable than Digital SLR cameras and mirrorless cameras. You will still get sharp pictures from prosumer cameras. I am confident that 2014 will appear various brands prosumer cameras, of course with more advanced technology and equipped with various features, as well as can be found on mirrorless cameras and Digital SLR.

If you have plans to buy a new camera, but the small body size, and of course you take it to the light to go, then you need to consider the Fujifilm X-E1, although it is now available X-E2, but certainly more economical if you buy a series previously. You need to know, that there is a test from DSLR Magazine comparing the mirrorless camera to the Fuji X-E1 Full Frame DSLR camera Nikon D600 and Canon 5D Mk. III.
And photographs that produced by Fuji X-1 was very good and on par with the Canon EOS 5D Mk III and Nikon D600. However, it should be noted that this is only a comparison of the quality of the image or images, and do not take into account the overall performance of the camera, such as ergonomic aspects, AF speed, battery lifetime and other features. Is not the ultimate goal of a camera is the result of a good photo?
There are photographers who say that the Fuji X-E1 autofocus is actually quite fast, but somewhat troublesome because only a single point. This causes the user must use the shift key. Could have used a new sliding lockable focus the camera to adjust the composition but still not fast enough. My wishlist from Fuji X-E1 is like the Sony NEX 5N autofocus, which can recognize faces and tracking objects with the touch of a finger. Peaking focus is also useful if the manual focus. Third capabilities or features were unfortunately not be found in Fuji. It is understandable because the Fujifilm X-E1 is minimalist camera, but with proper use you can generate thousands of good photos from this kemara.
Unlike the X-Pro1 with hybrid multi viewfinder, the X-E1 camera boasts an OLED electronic viewfinder with 2.36 million dot resolution, making it one of the highest resolutions available on digital cameras with EVFs.
FUJIFILM X-E1 key features list:

- Shutter lag time of 0.05 sec

Fujifilm X-E1 features the same 16.3 megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor as the FUJIFILM X-Pro1. To satisfy your creativity as a photographer, then the X-E1 offers Fujifilm's creative "Film Simulation Mode" to simulate the distinctive textures of conventional photo film.

Neg.Std PRO PRO Neg.Hi soft and sharp tonal suitable for both indoor portrait photography. Three types of simulations Filters are also available for monochrome and sepia look.

Before you buy this camera, you can compare Fujifilm EX-1 with the Samsung NX 300 or Sony RX100 and Olympus Olympus OMD EM-5, even with other DSLR cameras such as the Nikon D3300 or Canon EOS 650D.
Canon EOS 100D a small DSLR camera
Are not you excited to buy a Digital SLR camera? You probably are not alone because many people are reluctant to carry a bulky camera. D SLR cameras usually have a great body and weight, although last generation D SLR small and light enough but still many are relatively large in size. You certainly do not need to be confused because you can choose a mirrorless camera that was much smaller, mirrorless cameras such as the production of Panasonic GF series, Olympus EPL series, Sony NEX series and Canon EOS M.

DSLR Camera
Do you want to buy a new camera?
L et’s try to use DSLR camera, because DSLR camera is no longer luxury goods or can only be owned by the professional photographers and people who have a lot of money.
If you are a beginner, I suggest buying a camera type of entry level before buying a high end camera or professional.
Before deciding to buy a new camera, it is very good when you take some time to read the review on the Internet or get information from camara magazines. There are many factors in determining when we want to make a choice to buy a DSLR camera. As we know there are many different brands and types, entry level or advance or professional. I try to give you simple advice before you buy a new camera, which is as follows:
1. The price.
This is the main determining factor will be like the most is the type or brand DSLR camera that will we have later. How sophisticated camera type that you select, the budget we have will be decisive.
2. Usability.
Or do you need to buy a DSLR camera; whether to transmit a new hobby, got the task to be part of the documentation in the Office, streamline the job as a photographer's coverage. If your needs can still be sure with pocket camera surely buying a DSLR camera is not a necessity. Not only will be more inconvenient because you have to learn to master it will also be incriminating because of greater size compare with ordinary point and shoot camera.
3. Specifications.
If these factors which determine the means you're interested in usability and excess of DSLR cameras are no longer just a point and shot. Do you need a camera with a higher speed because it wanted to deepen photo sports, big resolution or because it will often print with large sizes, higher ISO rating because served to shoot music concerts or performances on stage and others? In fact the third factor above is the most decisive factor of your decision to choose and buy a DSLR camera.
But if I should add a factor which is most often into consideration other then the options are:
4. Resolution.
Many people wrong understanding of the said resolution or megapixels. Most people assume if a megapixel camera has a size larger than the resulting image will be better. But if we only will most print results photos in size of post card, the number of megapixels in the cameras Pocket is sufficient. The size of a large new megapixel is needed if we have to print in a larger size of 60 cm x 40 cm. Or you are a professional who often print in large size of the result cropping photos.
The camera with a resolution of 9 or 12 megapixels is in fact already good.
5. Accessories.
This option can also mean you will invest in a camera brand or already have one particular brand, and decided to complement the needs of the brand.
6. The needs of the future.
Are you are going to use these cameras up to 5 or 6 years? Because technology DSLR camera is a technology that does not quickly obsolete eaten time, unlike for example the technology on the mobile phone quickly changed. Unless there's a springboard new technologies such as when the transition from analog to digital camera.
Or maybe later when DSLR camera that uses the shutter or shutter is replaced by a mobile phone camera technology with the same quality results. To purchase a new digital camera all decisions in your hands.
Do you want to switch from a pocket camera to a DSLR camera?
