Digital camera price

You can view its parameters at/product/161/p161734.html.

And now the price is also cheap, less than 2500.

The following are the methods I have compiled to choose a good camera when shopping, hoping to be useful to you:

Preparation before purchase:

1:A USB flash drive (which contains the Chinese version of the noise test software DeadPixelTest, an all-black JPG picture, and a self-made black picture. From brightness 5 to brightness 60, there is one point for every brightness 5, and these points are arranged neatly. Of course, if it is in JPG format, it is not difficult to make it, and the drawings that come with WINXP can be easily done).

A piece of 2: A4 printing paper

3. A set of colored paper in various colors.

Purchase steps:

1: asking price "This is a brand-new licensed product from Chinese mainland, with an invoice. I will buy it today. How much is the minimum? " Be sure to ask whether the quotation includes tax (with invoice) or does not include tax (without invoice). You can also tell him that you have made all the preparations and buy it right away. Whoever gives you the advantage will buy it there In this way, the merchant will generally give the lowest price directly, and immediately ask if he will send anything (usually rotten bags) after he quotes, and finally add: Is it the lowest price? After he answers, you say, I'll ask two more questions, and then I'll go to the next one. But one thing to remember: he asked you if you wanted cards and other accessories, and you said you already had them, so you won't buy them today. There is no point on the brightness of test result 30! Is it okay?

Ask the merchant to provide a PC (this is also an important reason to buy DC in the computer city, and it is absolutely impossible for you to survey the land in general shopping malls), and personally test the pictures just taken on the computer.

2. Check the appearance of things and bring them back. You have to watch the people in the shop put it there (but tell them not to open it, you have to open it yourself). Pay attention to whether the box he took out is intact, whether the sealed place has been unsealed, whether the number on the fuselage is consistent with the number on the package, and so on.

Step 1: Check the appearance, including the appearance of the package and the appearance of the product.

The packaging must be intact, and special attention should be paid to corners and open places. If the damage is serious, it may be a machine that others have seen but not bought. Ask the salesman to change it for you before opening it, which won't cause him too much resentment. Here, you have to choose the packaged one first, and there is no place to jump and buckle. In the open place, there is no trace of fingernail pinching.

Open the package and see if the contents are neat and orderly. Warranty cards, manuals, any traces of reading or modification.

Check the fuselage. Put on gloves and observe every corner of the fuselage carefully. There are no traces of used handles and buttons, and there are no scratches on the surface of the fuselage and battery. See if there are any scratches on the lens part. You must not take the injured lens! Then see if there are any marks on the screws of the machine. If there is, don't buy a machine that must have been disassembled. Carefully hold the corner of DC (don't touch the place where DC is usually held), and look at the place where DC is usually held in the sun to take fingerprints; Then slowly uncover the scratch-resistant film of DC LCD to see if there are fingerprints; Finally, look at the battery compartment and battery to see if there are any scratches (there will be traces if the battery is installed), and then check the memory card that comes with it (also check if there are any traces).

If it is an alkaline battery machine, be sure to check whether the battery compartment contacts are scratched. If so, the machine has been tried. If there is no problem in other places, you can keep bargaining without telling the salesperson first.

Step 2: Check the accessories.

Take out the printed parts list. Check whether the packaging of accessories is intact and whether the cables are neatly bundled. Of course, the quantity must be checked clearly.

3: After the appearance of the boot check is basically passed, the following is the boot (it is strongly recommended to hand over the DC to the merchant at this time, and the merchant will install the battery and boot it).

Step 1: put in the battery, first see if the lens zoom is smooth, and then see if there are fixed color dots on the LCD screen. If there is, it may be a bad point. There are 1 bad spots on the LCD screen, and it doesn't matter much if it is near the edge. And it can be used as a bargaining weight with merchants.

Step 2: Try taking pictures.

Check that the shooting sample, foreground, close range, macro and short film size exceed 10M. Look at the serious color cast of PP, then switch to short film shooting mode and start to pull the lens as long as possible (preferably 10M or more), because DC can be "hot" as soon as possible. (The test data after DC heating is the most accurate. After DC feels a little hot, take some test charts.

Cover the lens cover (if there is no lens cover, you can cover the lens), and shoot with the maximum aperture (maximum) and different levels of shutters (remember to turn off the flash and print the date). If there is a bright spot in a fixed position on the taken picture, it may be a bad spot, but noise is not excluded. You can also test photos with DEADPIXEL software. None of the bad spots on the CCD can be tolerated. The indicator is: the bad point is 0! The noise is minimal! If there is something bad, you are out. If not, write down the noise value. Then ask your family to let you disassemble another machine to compare the noise value (at this time, the family is already riding a tiger, and generally agree)

Set the camera to manual shift (M shift) and use manual focus. (autofocus will be dead focus). Set the camera to the maximum resolution, set the ISO value to the highest (generally DC ISO400, preferably 800, 1600), set the aperture to the maximum (generally F 2.8, depending on the camera), and choose different shutter speeds to take all-black photos (cover the lens with a lens cover). Choose the usual shutter speed 1100s, 1/60s,1/5s,12s, 5s, 10s and the longest long exposure/kl.

Shoot at the white paper you brought, or at the pure sky, and turn off the flash. If there are black spots in the picture or black spots that do not exist in the actual object, it is likely that the lens is injured or the CCD is dusty. In this case, you must give up this machine in your hand and ask the salesperson to change it for you and try again.

Here, we take the pure black picture with exposure time of 1s just taken as an example. The name of the picture is 00 1.jpg. After selecting this file, the brightness higher than 60 lumens is set as noise point, and the brightness higher than 250 lumens is set as bad point. In the test data, heat represents noise and death represents bad points. Click the "Test" button to the right of the "Browse" button and the test will begin. In the test results, x and y represent the coordinate position of noise in the picture, and luminosity represents the brightness value. However, random noise is normal, so don't worry too much. Because CCD is sensitive to temperature, the test results in summer may be a little louder than those in winter, and the test after a period of time will be louder than the direct test after booting. That's why I told everyone to turn it on for a long time and let DC "warm up" before the test.

The first one is that there is no point above 30. After the noise is defined as 10, several noises are detected, and the highest noise brightness is only 12. Multi-image comparison shows that there are no points with duplicate positions at all. If you are really unlucky when you buy it, for example, after testing five sets, there is still no point below 30. At this time, the merchant may no longer be willing to open a new machine for testing. At this time, you can choose the best one of the five sets to buy, and of course you can go to the next set.

Don't forget to test the LCD after CCD measurement. Just use the set of colored paper just mentioned. Take photos of each color in a well-lit place, and observe whether there is noise on the LCD screen in playback mode.

Carefully check whether there is dust inside and outside the lens and inside the LCD. Usually, if it is not too unlucky, there will be no problem. Next, according to the instructions, count all your accessories and put them away, ready to pay! Why is it preparation? Because at this time, if you like, you can also grind the merchant and ask him to give you some small things, such as LCD stickers, suede mirror cleaning cloth, blowing balloons and so on

Step 4 identify yourself

In order to prevent foreign brands from buying parallel imports, it is best to check whether the serial number of the product is a normal channel product through the service phone of the manufacturer. After selecting the DC with the smallest value, please carefully check whether the three SN codes of warranty card, packaging box and DC body are the same. Then find out the pre-stored 800 phone number, call it with the merchant's phone (by the way, the phone can't be used), tell the customer service your SN number, and verify whether the machine is licensed in Chinese mainland! (I suggest that you don't buy DC on weekends. Some abnormal DC manufacturers have 800 telephones and rest places on weekends. )

5. Bargain and ask if there are any free gifts.

This is the most important step in the negotiation. At this time, the small problem you saw before will become an unbearable big problem. Say it one by one, forcing the salesperson to lower your price. After passing the test, all the inspection standards are in place, so that the merchants can pack them well, take what they should take, and don't let go of those who have activities.

6. Carefully invoice and fill in the warranty form.

Let the merchants issue formal invoices. Is the serial number on the machine package, the serial number of the machine body and the serial number and model of the maintenance order consistent? Ask the salesperson to write clearly when filling out the warranty form, and don't forget to stamp it.

Final payment.

7: Buy accessories

The price of accessories (UV mirror, hood, camera bag, XD card 256M) is attached.

In the whole process, we must pay attention to the following questions:

1. Never change your mind temporarily by listening to the sales staff's propaganda. If the salesperson mobilizes you to buy another one, it must be the one with higher profit. Don't buy it right away, even if there are many discounts on other models. Be sure to go home and do your homework before you change your mind.

Be very careful when buying promotional accessories. Memory cards can be purchased together as long as the price difference is not too outrageous. Generally buy the cheapest anti-ultraviolet glasses. Camera bags can be bought in small commodity markets, and you will find that they are the same as the so-called original bags sold to you by merchants, but the price is much cheaper.

3. If you need to buy spare batteries, you'd better check with the manufacturer's service center whether the products are parallel imports. Accessories are the easiest to fake.

Don't pay until it's all over.

Entry-level model: Canon A series digital camera

Although the number of pixels in digital cameras has already exceeded one million, it has entered an exciting era of ten million pixels. But higher pixels mean higher prices, and sometimes a megapixel digital camera can meet our needs. This digital camera manufacturer coincides with our consumers. In the past PMA exhibitions, major manufacturers not only released high-end products to show their strength and technology. The entry-level market of about 1,000 yuan is also the focus of their competition, and new digital cameras with low prices are emerging one after another. Today, the author will introduce several new digital cameras with a price of 1,000 yuan, which are cheap and easy to operate, and are a good choice for family users with a small budget.

The fuselage has built-in 16MB memory, supports SD and MMC cards, and is powered by two AA batteries. The overall dimension is103.3x51.8x40.2mm, and the product weight is 150g.

When you buy a digital camera, you naturally have to buy related accessories to use it. A 4 megapixel digital camera and a 256MB memory card can meet the demand, and the market price is about 140 yuan. A420 and A430 are equipped with two No.5 batteries, and domestic well-known rechargeable battery brands Ruineng and Pinsheng can meet the demand. The price of a set with charger and four rechargeable batteries is around 50 yuan. The price of camera bags and card readers ranges from 20 to 30 yuan. In this way, even if you buy a higher-priced A430, the total price of the whole set will not exceed 1500 yuan.

Compared with the previous generation Canon A4 10, A420 and A430 have better performance in performance, workmanship and price. It is also a good performance for entry-level products to use DIGIC II image processing engine. The complete set of accessories does not exceed 1500 yuan, showing a good cost performance.

Canon A530 Price: 1580 yuan

Canon A530 digital camera adopts 1/2.5-inch 5-megapixel CCD with 4x optical zoom. The focal length is equivalent to 35- 140mm of a 35mm camera, and the maximum aperture is F2.6-5.5. 1.8 inch LCD with 77000 pixels. ISO is: Auto /80/ 100/200/400/800.

Canon A530 looks similar to the previous generation A520, but it has been upgraded in terms of pixels and optical zoom. In all respects, A530 is more like a simplified version of A6 10. And the price of 1580 yuan also makes A530 more cost-effective.

In addition to Canon's latest A-series digital cameras, Sony and Olympus have also introduced economical digital cameras with less than 2,000 yuan and more than 5 million pixels.

Sony S600 Price: 1600 yuan

Sony S600 adopts 1/2.5 inch 6 megapixel CCD. Using optical zoom lens, the focal length is equivalent to 3 1-93mm of the traditional 35mm camera, and the maximum aperture is F2.8-F5. 1.

In Sony's digital camera product line, S series is positioned at the low-end entry level and has always attracted consumers with good cost performance. The newly listed S600 adopts the mainstream 6 million pixels and 3 times optical zoom, which can meet the needs of daily photography. In addition, although it is positioned at the low end, it has a high sensitivity of ISO 1000, which facilitates shooting in dark conditions. Recently, the price of Sony memory sticks has also been greatly reduced. Now the price of Sony licensed memory stick is 240 yuan, and the price of 51256MB memory stick is 400 yuan. S600+256MB memory stick+rechargeable battery and other related accessories, the price will not exceed 2000 yuan.

Olympus FE 160 Price: 1850 yuan

Olympus FE 160 adopts 1/2.5-inch 6-megapixel CCD, and uses an optical zoom lens. The focal length is equivalent to 32-96mm of a 35mm camera, and the maximum aperture is F2.8-4.8.

Olympus FE 160 adopts a metal body, which is rare in digital cameras below 2000 yuan. The front version of the fuselage is processed by metal wire drawing process, which makes the camera more textured. It is worth mentioning that the 2.5-inch LCD screen of FE 160 uses 230,000 high pixels, which ensures the bright and beautiful display, which is also rare in the low-end entry level. But unfortunately, the higher price of XD card may make the overall budget of this camera exceed 2,000 yuan.

Supplementary answer: I haven't seen Patriot V780, it's hard to say. But I advise you not to buy it. Personally, I think the quality of some so-called famous brands is good, at least if they are broken, someone will repair them. In addition, I now have three digital cameras and two video cameras. The earliest camera: Sony's F7 17, which has been used for five years and has never broken down. It has been used very well. In fact, I can't say that Patriot's digital camera is a brand-name product, but I personally think that Patriot is not a professional after all. After all, digital cameras can't compare with USB flash drives, MP3 players, MP4s and cameras. Hehe, I hope my suggestion is useful to you.
