Do you have any intention of buying a new digital camera in 2013? 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.


When you buy a DSLR camera (Digital Single Lens Reflect), then it should be considered with jelly, especially for beginners who have a limited budget. 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 have a large budget, you would have more choice.

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.

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.

Photo hunting in Bali
Did you just begin enjoying the world of photography? If you have a hobby of photography and frequent holidays in striking scenery, you definitely will not forget the camera to contain in your tour. You certainly will not miss a moment of unique or stunning view. But sometimes there is a little dilemma. Naturally beginner photographer somewhat confused in determining the right lens for their camera. This problem is not just experienced by Digital SLR camera owners, it turns out the owner mirrorless camera or MFT (Micro Four Third) also felt the same confusion.

The major problem is not the owner of the camera is just about the right choice of lens, apparently a lot to do with the budget. But despite the money problem, at least, you need to know what the right lens for the camera, and understand photography activities you will do. Information on the type and size of the lens is very important point, so you are not buying the wrong lens. So, what points need to be considered?


Select the appropriate lens that suit to the camera
If you have a Nikon camera, then the lens is designed for Canon Mount will not work on your Nikon. You must use lens that suit with your camera, unless you want to use a lens with an adapter or choose a brand that is able to share the platform. You do not have to buy original brand lens from Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, Pentax or Panasonic. You can buy a lens that such third party lens made by Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, Samyang, and other product.

Adjust the camera lens to the specific needs

For different needs, it would require a different lens. This relates to the focal length and maximum aperture. In general, judging by its use lenses can be divided into 5 groups, as follows:

The first is a standard lens, the 50mm.  Usually when buying a DSLR camera, this lens is a lens that is given to camera buyers. The lens is also called a normal lens has a viewing angle and magnification factor equal to our eyes. Now, the factory sells more cameras are bundled with the camera lens 18-55 mm. This tendency has long been the case, both in sales as well as digital SLR camera when you buy mirrorless camera or MFT camera.

Next is a wide angle lens. If you want to take pictures of objects in a small space, this lens is suitable for you, so you get a wider picture. Compared to normal lenses, coverage area captured with this lens will be more extensive. The smaller the distance focus; it will be increasingly broad range of views. This kind of lens sizes is ranging from 17mm to 35mm. For those who like to shoot landscape or experimenting with a wide viewing angle, the wide-angle lens types can be selected.

The opposite of a wide-angle lens is a telephoto lens. The range of this lens is start from 70 mm upwards. You can use telephoto lens closer to the object, but at the same time you can narrowing the viewing angle. This telephoto lens is perfect for photography of fashion show, sports and music concert, or remote objects.

There is also a fish eye lens, wide angle lens that is the size of 14 mm, 15 mm, and 16 mm. With this lens, the images you produce will look curved. You can also use this lens to photograph the faces of your friends, so that their faces would look funny, but the fish-eye lens is usually used to take pictures of objects in the narrow room, such as in buildings, palaces, palace, churches, and so on.

Remember also among a wide variety of lenses, there is a macro lens that you can use to photograph very small objects such as ants, flowers, insects, butterflies and small creatures and other small objects. Lenses like this are usually owned by photography enthusiasts, biologists and other scientists.

Finally, of course is zoom lens. This lens has a size that is not fixed, such as 80-200 mm. This lens is versatile because it can be tailored to the needs, which can zoom in and zoom out. This means you can bring a photo or make the subject much without you having to approach the object you are photographing. Indeed, the price is relatively more expensive, but reliable for various needs. Believe me, there is also a zoom lens at reasonably priced. You can check prices zoom lens by using the search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines so that you get the right information. If you are curious I suggest you can check the prices on the website that is trusted, namely: http://superdigitalzone.com

If you are a beginner photographer, it is best if you have a zoom lens with a range of 18-250 mm or 18-270 mm. This versatile lens is fit for holiday or traveling, so you do not bother to change lenses quickly when you want to switch shooting from close distance to the remote or distance. 

You just need to zoom in or zoom out. Sigma and Tamron is a third party lens manufacturer that produces various zoom lenses in different variations, there is even a type that are armed with anti-shake feature (image stabilizer). You could also try the original lens from Leica, Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, Pentax, and other original lenses to suit your camera brand.

If you already have a lot of experience and familiarity, and of course the extra money, you can buy a wide range of lenses step by step. If you cannot wait, then you can buy a used lens, but make sure you buy at the store that has a good reputation. Try using a camera lens before you pay. If necessary, get a friend who is experienced so that you get a good lens though not a new lens. You can also get information about the photography forums on the Internet; join the forum so that you are smarter. Join a photography club in your city is also a very good decision.

Once you see the comparison above,
I suggest you do not need to be affected by the debate on the forums, and other myths have you heard between Canon and Nikon.  

You must have a strong personal principle. You are going to be a user of the camera, so you have to be a master who had a strong belief, whether you will choose Canon or Nikon.

You are also free to choose another camera like the Pentax K-30 or other cameras like the Olympus E-5, Sony Alpha A77; you can even glance at the cameras manufactured by Sigma, SD 15 or SD1.
