Zero-based photography? Where is the camera classification?

Camera classification

Card camera

Canon EOS G5 X

Leica dawlish (model 109)

The compact shape, relatively thin body and ultra-thin and fashionable design of card cameras are the main standards to measure card cameras.

Although it is not powerful, its ultra-thin shape, standard configuration and the most basic exposure compensation function, area and spot metering mode still occupy a place in the field of photography.

Card machine has many advantages that SLR does not have:

1 compact: easy to carry and will not be a burden on the journey;

2. Adjustable sound: it has better concealment during special shooting;

3 depth of field: you can easily shoot a landscape with a clear distance;

Suitable for underwater photography: the waterproof cover of general card machine is relatively easy to buy and affordable.

trait

Telephoto digital camera A camera with a large optical zoom factor. The larger the optical zoom coefficient, the farther you can shoot still life.

Telefocal digital cameras are more widely used than card machines, so they are favored by beginners of photography.

In recent years, the market share of telephoto digital cameras has been declining year by year due to the continuous lowering of entry-level SLR threshold and the rise of micro-single market.

micro-single camera

Sony A7R5

Sony A7R3

As a cross-border product of digital SLR camera and card machine, micro-single camera cancels the reflector and pentaprism structure, and changes the optical framing of SLR camera into electronic framing, which greatly reduces its size and even approaches the size of card machine.

In addition, the processing of micro-orders has also been simplified to a certain extent, which is convenient for non-professionals, especially novices.

In contrast, SLR cameras have always maintained a solid and steady appearance, and the shape has not changed much, while the shape and style of micro-single are diversified.

Sony micro-single features modern modeling, Olympus and Fuji micro-single features retro camera appearance, and Panasonic still introduces micro-single cameras with SLR modeling. Various shapes meet the needs of different groups of people.

Compared with SLR cameras, micro-single cameras are lighter and have more styles, so they are very popular among women.

Entry SLR

Nikon D3500

Canon 800D

Entry-level SLR cameras are mainly aimed at photographers and can meet the shooting needs of various subjects.

The prices of Canon and Nikon are higher than those of other brands at the same level. Nevertheless, the sales of Canon and Nikon are still very high, because choosing these two brands means that you can choose their huge photographic accessories, especially the lens group, so as to expand and upgrade the hardware in the future.

Now there are some entry-level digital SLR cameras and some individual functions of high-end digital SLR cameras.

For example, Nikon/Nikon D3500, Canon/Canon EOS 800D.

Professional SLR

Canon 1D-X

Nikon D5

It is called "professional digital SLR camera" because this model has excellent performance, fine picture quality, quick response, all-angle framing and excellent waterproof and dustproof functions.

Professional digital SLR cameras adopt a more accurate multi-point double cross focusing system. These professional digital SLR cameras are already at the top of the family pyramid of SLR cameras, and their excellent performance certainly means high prices. Generally speaking, the price of professional digital SLR cameras is more than 20 thousand yuan, and some cameras have reached 50 thousand yuan or 60 thousand yuan when they first went on the market.

Quasi-professional SLR

Nikon D850

Canon 5DMark IV

Quasi-professional digital SLR cameras are suitable for some enthusiasts and professional photographers with economic strength.

Continuous shooting speed, metering mode, focusing accuracy and adaptability to the environment have been greatly improved, which can meet the photographer's further demand for mobility and reliability.

These models all use Quan Huafu photosensitive elements, and the image quality is incomparable to entry-level SLR cameras and intermediate SLR cameras. However, in comparison, the price of quasi-professional digital SLR cameras is higher.

Commonly used quasi-professional SLR cameras are Nikon/Nikon D850 and Canon/Canon EOS 5D Mark N. ..
