How to tell if Taobao camera shop is a black shop?

The simplest and stupidest way is to look at the price. There is a high probability that the price is ridiculously cheap. Don't be greedy and cheap.

When you go to a self-operated or officially authorized store in JD.COM, there are really no idle fish to visit, and the water is deep. It is best to meet in person in the same city and bring people who know trade.

When buying a camera, you should recognize the "six elements", namely: use, price, pixel, economy, appearance and function, and brand.

1. uses: according to the performance characteristics of different products, digital cameras can be divided into household, quasi-professional and professional cameras. Bian Xiao felt that for mass users, we have not learned professional photography knowledge, nor are we experienced photographers. Cameras are generally used for daily shooting, so there is no need to choose so-called high-end products. A card camera is enough.

2. Price: In terms of price, Bian Xiao suggested that the household DC camera should not exceed 2,000 yuan. For the sake of cost performance, the performance of DC cameras above 2000 yuan may overflow. And for ordinary working-class families, the price below 2000 yuan is more acceptable. After all, the role of digital cameras in the family is still very simple.

It's nothing more than taking a commemorative photo when traveling and taking a family photo at a family gathering. No one will take DC to shoot flowers, blue sky and white clouds on the street every day. Therefore, economy and practicality are the main purposes of home cameras.

3. Brand: After determining the budget, you can consider which brand to buy. For brands, Canon, Nikon and Sony are the three giants in the camera market, with the highest market share, but this does not mean that other brands are not good. Brands such as Olympus, Panasonic and Casio are also very popular in the card camera market.

In fact, any brand may have its own top products, and it will also fail. Choosing a camera depends on what suits you best. As far as brands are concerned, the domestic market is dominated by China, Japan and South Korea, and made in China (Lenovo, BenQ, Patty, Zhongheng, etc. ), Japan (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Ricoh, etc. ), USA (Kodak) and Korea (Samsung).

Sometimes according to brand awareness and market share, it is divided into first-line (Canon, Nikon, Sony), second-line (Olympus, Fuji, Panasonic, Casio, Ricoh, Kodak, Samsung, etc.) and third-line brands. I think the brand is more important when choosing a camera. After all, it involves not only product quality, but also a series of after-sales services, so big brands are always reliable.

4. Pixels: Many friends who don't know much about cameras often care about how many pixels there are when buying cameras. Many businesses often use consumers' pursuit of high pixels to promote them. In fact, for the general family needs, too high pixels do not have much practical significance.

Generally speaking, 3 million pixels can print 6-inch photos, and 4 million pixels can easily output A4 format photos, so the concept of pixels is only the range and processing capacity that can be printed, not the higher the pixel, the better.

Some digital camera manufacturers put extremely high pixels on small CCD, which sounds like high pixels, but in fact the imaging quality is not as good as that of ordinary cameras with 2 million or even 1 10,000 pixels. Nowadays, with the reduction of camera cost, digital cameras with a price of 1 1,000 yuan or more can basically have more than 1 1,000 million pixels, which is enough to meet the needs of users.

5. Economy: The so-called economy means saving money, so what money can a digital camera save? Naturally, it is accessories, mainly batteries and memory cards. Card cameras generally use large-size LCD screens for framing, and electronic viewfinders naturally consume much more power than optical viewfinders.

Most of the card cameras on the market use lithium batteries, and basically AA batteries are not available. Generally, a lithium battery can take about 200 photos. Memory cards can be divided into XD cards, memory sticks, SD cards, MMC cards, CF cards and SM cards. Different types of cameras need different types of memory cards.

For example, Sony cameras generally need a memory stick, Olympus generally needs an XD card, Canon generally needs a CF card, and most cameras are equipped with an SD card. Among them, XD card and memory stick are two expensive memory cards, and SD card is becoming the mainstream storage medium because of its high speed and low price.

6. Appearance and function: I decided to put the appearance last, because it is entirely based on personal preference. Female users tend to prefer smaller and brighter colors, such as Canon IXUS series and Nikon S series. Generally, male users prefer thicker ones.

In terms of functions, it generally refers to whether there are manual control, the number of optional modes, dynamic picture format, time limit, recording, MP3 and other functions.

Here, what should be taken seriously is whether to use the manual function. The operation of manual function requires certain skills and knowledge, and reasonable use will definitely make better films than cameras without manual function. However, home cameras provide a wealth of optional modes and do not need to be forced to operate manually.

Whether you often use the camera or not, it is recommended to maintain and collect it once every six months. The steps are as follows:

(1) Wash your hands. Remove the camera case, battery and film.

(2) Use a clean universal soft brush or air nozzle to remove all the dust inside and outside, and remember that it is best not to clean the lens part casually to avoid scratches. To clean the lens, use a soft brush to clean the lens, or use deerskin to clean the glasses. Liquid medicine can only be used when the lens is dirty, but it cannot be directly dripped on the lens. A, drop it on deerskin or mirror paper. Never use paper towels. )

(3) Except the lens, other parts can be lightly rubbed with diluted stable clean and deerskin to remove dirt and fingerprints.

(4) Prepare a sealed transparent plastic bag (completely isolated from air circulation, which can hold liquid), put it into the camera, and then put it into the dehumidifier (usually put it in the cake box, but be careful that it is a dehumidifier or a deoxidizer, don't use it wrong! ) Then put a piece of white paper (write the maintenance date), pinch the bag tightly to reduce the air in the bag and seal it.

About camera collection:

When the camera is maintained, it should be properly collected.

(1) Electronic moistureproof box is the best. As long as it is clean, there is no obvious moisture on the camera, so you can put it directly without plastic bags.

(2) The camera shell and the camera should be collected separately. If the camera is still in the box, put it away. After a long time, you will find that moldy flowers actually grow in airtight places It will be in trouble when the moldy flowers bloom all over the world.

(3) Remember a cool and humid place. So your camera should last for 20 years.

(4) When not in use, check to ensure that the power supply is turned off, and then save it in the camera bag.

(5) When the battery is not used for a long time, the battery should be taken out to prevent some batteries from leaking and damaging parts.

(6) Shutters, selfie cameras, counters and mirrors must be released and reset, and cameras with built-in metering devices should also open the lens aperture to the maximum position.
