What is it like to have a camera of your own?

Before I went to college, I always thought that taking pictures with a mobile phone was enough, and it was more convenient than a camera. After taking the photo, I can directly open the photo editing software and immediately upload the photo. Posting it on Weibo and WeChat Moments is particularly timely. But by chance, I got my first camera not long after I was a freshman in college. It was then that I realized that taking pictures with a cell phone was only for emergency use, and the camera was the real photography.

This opportunity came about when I joined a publicity department and happened upon the school sports day. The department assigned me the task of taking photos and writing articles, so I bought a mirrorless camera as soon as I got excited. Why should I buy a micro-single camera? The first reason is! poverty! The price of the SLR I'm interested in is close to four figures. Well, I'm scared. The second reason is actually that I am a photography novice, and the SLR may become just a show-off tool in my hands. Another thing is that I am a girl, and the SLR is a bit heavier. I can still accept the weight of the mirrorless camera around my neck.

What I bought is a mirrorless single-lens camera from AoMouxi, the picture is below. It’s very good-looking and has a retro appearance. At first glance, I thought it was a film camera, but a girl can hold it firmly with one hand.

The first thing that makes a mirrorless camera better than a mobile phone is the pixels. It is normal for a photo taken by a mirrorless camera to be imported into a computer. It is normal to have more than ten megabytes. You can still see clearly even if you point the magnifying glass hard. You don’t have to worry about not being able to see the handsome man’s face clearly in the photos taken with your mobile phone, hahaha.

The second point is that the stunning colors of the photos taken by the camera cannot be achieved by mobile phones. Here are two photos I took while walking in West Lake, without filters at all. In my opinion, it truly recreates the scene of sunlight passing through the branches.

The other picture I want to post is the sunset over the West Lake. The colors perfectly restore the sunset I saw with my naked eyes at that time. The years are so quiet and the beauty is breathtaking. Especially when there was a bird flying by. If you had taken the photo with a mobile phone, it would have been blurred, or you would have missed the beautiful scenery because the shutter speed was too slow.

Since I have this beautiful mirrorless camera, I almost never take out my mobile phone when traveling. I can also use it as a concave-shaped prop when taking photos. came out.

Mirrorless cameras are not only a tool for travel photography, but also make the journey more exciting. You will often be happy for a day just by taking a stunning photo, rather than seeing the landscape you have longed for for a long time. Posting on Weibo after returning home also improves the quality of the photos on Weibo. Regardless of what other people think when they see it, it gives me a special sense of accomplishment just to see it myself.

With the mirrorless camera, I am naturally more willing to learn professional knowledge related to photography, and I also have props to practice learning professional knowledge. I believe that one day, I will definitely yearn for a more professional SLR camera.

If you are still hesitant about buying a camera, I think the answer is yes! There are so many beautiful things in life and so many things worth recording. You deserve to use a professional machine to record life and feel the beauty of life.
