Digital Cameras & their types

Before choosing a camera there is always a lot of confusion that which camera will be the best to buy. In this article we are offering the types of camera so that you can make the right selection. The Digital Cameras can be classified into three categories according to their structure, components and performance.

Compact Camera:

 

 

Compact cameras are also know as point-and-shoot cameras due to their holding position while you have to capture the photographs because you have to point the subject and then shoot it. Most probably it is the first camera if you are not a professional photographer. They are very convenient, small, light - weight snappers available at affordable price. As the name suggests, just point it in the general direction of the subject and press the button. The camera does the rest.

The key feature of these cameras is that they are so small and unobtrusive that make you happy to carry them all the time because they are easy to handle and keep it in your pocket. The compact camera are inbuilt with automatic sensor, ISO, aperture setting that make it easy for you to capture the best shot without having awareness about the complex manual settings. The Samsung NX Mini and Sony DSC – TX30 are one of the Best compact camera.

DSLR Camera:

 

 

 

The first thing you will notice about a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera is that it is larger than any compact consumer camera and putting one in your pocket is out of the question. When using a Digital Slr camera you can set the camera to the automatic mode and just start taking pictures. However, you also have the option of taking pictures in the full manual mode, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or program modes. The most important thing to remember about using a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera is that you have more control over the way the picture will be taken as far as exposure settings. Another important feature of Digital Slr cameras is that you can change the camera lens to fit different situations. 

Compact System Camera: 

 

Compact system cameras are very similar to Digital Slr cameras. Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens cameras allow the photographer to use the camera in full manual, automatic, or semi-automatic modes the same way Digital Slr cameras can be operated. If you were to research this type of camera, you will notice that some camera manufacturers use the name Compact System and others use the name Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens for these types of cameras. Both names refer to the same type of camera. You have probably figured out, by the name interchangeable lens, that thelens can be changed just like on a Digital Slr Camera. The biggest difference between the two type cameras is that Mirrorless cameras are much smaller than Digital Slr cameras.Their camera body size is closer to the size of compact cameras. The reason the body size is so much smaller is because they do not have optical viewfinders like the Digital Slr cameras. Optical viewfinders that are found on Digital Slr cameras use a system of mirrors and pentaprism to allow you to view the scene that will be photographed. Mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras do not have a mirror system.
