Is it necessary for ordinary photographers to buy a SLR to take pictures?

I am a non-professional general photographer, and I think it is necessary to buy a SLR. The details of the photos taken by SLR are more exciting, the color and light and shadow effects are better, and the photos taken are more lasting, which is unmatched by mobile phones. In the case of insufficient lighting conditions, SLR performance is particularly prominent.

The following three photos were taken with a SLR:

The following three photos were taken with mobile phones:

Which is better or worse, the effect is clear at a glance.

I have used Canon 6D, Budweiser and 50mm red circle lens, which have been used for several years. As long as you don't pursue equipment, you don't invest much.

If you go back to 10, or even 5 years, if you are a photographer, I will tell you to buy a SLR. SLR pixels are high, which can give full play to your imagination. Now, these relatively professional functions can be fully satisfied by a good camera phone.

What is the quality of the camera phone now? 12 million pixels as the base, double shot, three shot, four shot; Large aperture, shutter speed, focus mode, white balance and exposure compensation can all be set, and there are many other camera black technologies. In fact, how many so-called photographers have used these professional camera functions? Just use a large aperture and set the speed.

In other words, taking photos with a mobile phone can completely meet the needs of most photographers, and you can even make money from the media by using the camera and camera functions of the mobile phone.

For ordinary photographers, although they have some ideas, they want to speak with photos. Ordinary people's lives, not many things to shoot, how many times a year to travel? Many times you don't need a SLR camera. Even if you shoot too much, you can't zoom the phone lens. You can just buy an external lens.

As I am a photographer, I have thought about it to some extent. I don't need other people to persuade me. I'm not thinking about buying a SLR, but what kind of SLR to buy, ha.

The camera function of mobile phones is becoming more and more powerful, the definition is getting higher and higher, and the pixels are also rising. There are also two, three or even four shots, and the photos taken are comparable to SLR. As you said, mobile phones have created a large number of photographers, which can basically be said to be "shooting by the whole people."

Only with certain skills, photos taken by mobile phones are more than enough to enjoy on the Internet and send among friends. But there is still a considerable gap between mobile phones and SLR at least now! The main differences are image quality, tolerance and depth of field control. Of course, the "black technology" of mobile phones has narrowed the gap with SLR, such as night scene mode, portrait mode and scenery mode. Some photos are processed through the internal software of the mobile phone, which not only simplifies the process that everyone used to look complicated, but also greatly improves the quality of photos. However, the image quality is always a hurdle for mobile phones. Some people may think that with the progress of science and technology, the quality problem of mobile phones will be solved. I think it is also possible, provided that CMOS no longer talks about heroes by size, and at least half of mobile phones are reserved for cameras. At this time, the SLR is really helpless. I also threw away my SLR, ha.

Why do you have to choose a SLR? Playing photography, image quality is the most important thing, especially the scenery taken. What we strive for is image quality, image quality and image quality.

There is also the lens, such as the telephoto map above, how to solve the mobile phone?

Take a picture of the sunset and the moon. The phone is a little white at best!

Shoot a bird, walk over, don't talk about birds, even cows may be gone.

It's no problem to take pictures with your mobile phone. If you really become a photographer, you will never get around the SLR. Think about what brand of SLR to buy, my friend.

I am the south of the south, welcome to pay attention.

I believe it will be a pity that some people don't buy SLR. They always feel that they can't take good photos because the equipment is not professional enough, so they should give their photography talent a chance to show it. But once he buys it, he will regret it within three months (depending on the frequency of use).

Because taking pictures with a SLR is nothing like what he originally imagined.

First of all, the operation of SLR is too complicated. If you want to master it skillfully, you have to read the 200-page manual first and experience it through a lot of practice. Many people don't necessarily have the energy and patience, and as a result, they often only take pictures with automatic files.

Secondly, even if you master the operation of SLR, you may not be able to take good photos. You still need to learn some common sense about lighting and composition. You can better digest and absorb this knowledge through long-term practice.

And we have to learn some post-retouching skills, otherwise the photos taken by SLR may not be as gratifying as those taken by mobile phones. But it is also a matter that requires a lot of energy.

In addition, don't think that you can appreciate the infinite charm of SLR photography just through a set of lenses. Lens effects with different focal lengths and apertures will be very different. The investment of funds is not a small amount. A better tripod costs thousands of dollars.

Finally, physical strength is also a test. Not to mention that you often have to go out early and come back late, a camera bag of more than ten kilograms is not a small burden. In addition to the fuselage and lens, there must be spare batteries, cables, filters, tripods and other related accessories.

If you are reading this article and you are also a photographer who is going to buy a camera, then you should consider the above points clearly.

My suggestion is that you can rent a set of SLR when traveling, and it doesn't cost much. Experience it a few times first and feel it for yourself. If you really like it, it is not too late to buy it again.

To be honest, if you are not a photographer, there is really no need to buy a SLR. At present, the camera performance of mobile phones is so strong that it can fully meet the needs of ordinary enthusiasts for photography. And there are many external lenses that can broaden our shooting horizons.

Now the external lens of mobile phone can realize zoom function.

If you think that mobile phone photography really can't meet your needs, adding a micro-list is enough. Leave the SLR to photographers and enthusiasts to play.

The above is my experience. If you have different opinions, please discuss them in the comments section.

If you love photography, it is of course necessary, and I personally think it is also quite necessary. Mobile phone photography and SLR photography are completely two concepts. Don't watch mobile phone advertisements every day. There are 20 million pixels and 24 million pixels in front and back of the camera, which is not the same level as SLR cameras.

SLR cameras (for example, the photosensitive element in Quan Huafu is 36MMX24MM) are much more than mobile phones. Moreover, there are quite a lot of lenses in the camera, with many choices and different effects, such as wide angle, fixed focus, macro, telephoto and so on.

Mobile phones can only be said to be camera phones, not photography. If you really want to take pictures, you must buy a SLR camera, a mirrorless camera, or at least a micro-camera.

You look at the beautiful woman in the picture, holding a camera, very domineering, very literary. In fact, this question should not be asked by others, but by yourself:

First, am I sure I am a "photographer"? I like taking pictures, is it just a temporary interest or a long-term hobby? Am I interested in understanding aesthetic theories such as composition, lighting and color matching? Am I interested in learning the basic knowledge of equipment control such as aperture, shutter, focusing and metering?

Second, do I know the difference between SLR and mobile phone in shooting? Do I know what SLR means? What's the difference between hardware and mobile phone, and what's the difference in control?

Third, will I often go out to shoot and do post-processing? Do I have enough time to shoot to ensure that my SLR camera will not stay in the closet 364 days a year? Am I interested in post-technology? Do I know the concepts of highlight, tolerance, color depth and color overflow? Or do you prefer Mito Xiu Xiu, which can be done with one click?

4. Can I accept the weight and price of the SLR system? Do I have enough physical strength and patience to travel with a few kilograms of equipment on my back? Can I afford to buy better lens, flash and other photographic accessories?

5. Tips and suggestions Equipment is a tool, and photography is the purpose. Choose according to your own needs, don't blindly follow suit. If you can clearly answer the above four questions, then the conclusion should also come out:

1. For friends who love photography and have a certain aesthetic foundation, time and economic foundation, and take photography as their main hobby, you can consider buying a SLR;

2. Friends who are only interested in photography for a period of time, or friends who are sensitive to the quality, volume and price of SLR, are not recommended to buy, otherwise they will be placed on the top of the cabinet for a few days. There are really too many such friends around Xiao K:

Now it seems that they are all micro-orders. If you still want to buy a SLR, you may face the embarrassment after the price increase, because not only the price of micro-single has skyrocketed, but also ordinary SLR cameras and lenses, and the prices are much more expensive than before. If you think that SLR is atmospheric and has face, then "go upstream" and buy SLR directly. If you want to keep up with the fashion and are not afraid to spend money, go to the micro-single.

But I think if you just like photography, I think you might as well take pictures with your mobile phone. Because the camera function of mobile phone is much higher than that of SLR and micro-single, especially the beauty function of mobile phone, this is one of the powerful functions of mobile phone to take portraits, and mobile phone to take videos is also very powerful. Now playing from the media, almost all videos are made with mobile phones, which is very powerful.

Photography doesn't have to be on a SLR, just like a mobile phone. However, it is necessary to buy a camera if you want to learn more about photography, show your works in large format and high quality, and even have the opportunity to market your works. Not necessarily SLR, micro-single is also good, which is the development direction. Don't compare your mobile phone with your camera. Totally different. Photography is the specialty of the camera, and the specialty is the specialty.

If it is limited to life, most of the photos taken during the trip are taken here, and they will not leave the house in wind and rain. The photos are just basking in Weibo and friends circle. I never consider the big photo output, so I only look at the photos in my mobile phone. Then mobile phone photography is absolutely possible. Because I know that in the journey with many friends, heavy photographic equipment will make you lose interest in traveling and will only become a burden.

The choice of photographic equipment depends on how you look at photography. If you like travel photography, remember that "travel" is ahead, so you must be light and portable, and you can take photos with micro-sheets, cards or even mobile phones.

Take photos easily and travel happily.

It's not necessary. It's totally unnecessary. Since the subject is an ordinary photographer, let's just take pictures with our mobile phone.

In fact, there is no need to pursue SLR cameras. I don't know what the subject wants to buy a SLR camera for. Do you think others are envious? Or do you think others should have me? Or do you think I can make a better film with a SLR? When buying a SLR camera, don't buy it on impulse, think it over and think it over before buying it.

First of all, you need to know what you bought the SLR for. After I bought it, I just patted it casually or studied hard. Second, use frequency. Do you buy a SLR once a day or once a week? Still can't shoot once a month?

In fact, the mobile phone shooting function is already very powerful now. You can also make a big movie by taking pictures with your mobile phone. Basically, the aperture sensitivity can be adjusted, and there are basic macro functions. Pixels can also reach 40 million, but mobile phone photography is not as good as SLR cameras. At present, as an ordinary photographer, there is no need for the subject to buy a SLR.

No need, photography destroys three generations, SLR is poor for life [tears] [tears], expenditure and income are completely unequal, and equipment is a bottomless pit.

Ordinary photographers listen to my advice, never buy a SLR, because if you don't buy a SLR, your technology will not surpass mine [laughs] [laughs].

Starting from 20 15, we bought three cameras, a SLR Canon 70D, a micro-single Sony a7r3 and a Sony Black Card 5. There are also a number of supporting lenses, various accessories, tripod stabilizers and so on.

Play photography. If you don't love it so much, I advise you never to go to into the pit. Once you fall in love, you will get deeper and deeper. The more you play, the happier you are.

Photography lovers can take pictures with their mobile phones first. After the technology is developed, they don't have to consider SLR cameras, because mobile phones are powerful enough! !
