How to choose a digital camera and the skills of choosing a digital camera.

What are the skills to buy a digital camera?

Nowadays, many people like photography, and even think that photography is a high-quality life pursuit. Anyway, you must prepare a suitable digital camera before you enter the field of photography.

Let's take a look at how to choose a suitable digital camera.

There is no best camera, only the one that suits you best, so before buying a camera, ask yourself the following questions:

1. What kind of camera do I need?

In other words, do you want to buy a SLR, a micro-camera or a portable digital camera?

Generally speaking, cameras, SLR cameras represent professions and occupations; Micro-camera is the choice of photographers; Portable digital cameras are the choice of some people who don't understand cameras. Actually, it's not. Each classified camera has its high, medium and low positioning. SLR also has cameras specially designed for novices, such as Nikon D3200, Canon EOS 100D/ Canon EOS700D. Quan Huafu has never appeared in miniature cameras before, which makes many professional photographers scoff. Since the appearance of Sony 7/7R this year, people have seen the strength of micro-cameras. Many people who have bought micro-cameras to learn photography don't have to worry too much about wasting their lenses when upgrading their cameras in the future, at least there will be more users in the future. Finally, there are portable digital cameras, which are indeed provided for the vast majority of consumers, but now they will not be sloppy in image quality. The most typical representative is Sony RX 1/RX 1R, a SLR standby machine for professional photographers.

So, if you want to buy a camera, you should consider what kind of camera you want to buy. (Regardless of gender for the time being, the camera recommended by gender will be mentioned later. )

2. What do I like to shoot?

If you don't pay attention to this problem, it doesn't matter what camera you buy. Camera manufacturers will position their cameras when they launch new cameras, and now they are more inclined to one aspect. For example, there are several types of SLR cameras in Quan Huafu, such as those focusing on high-speed continuous shooting and focusing, and those specializing in shooting business portraits. Some friends buy digital cameras to travel; Some friends want to learn photography; Some friends want to take macro photos; Of course, some people want to take close-ups of portraits or take pictures of their newborn children. Lovely girls pay attention to selfies. In short, you must be clear about what you want to shoot before spending. All this is very complicated, because according to this requirement, there are many cameras to choose from. I can only recommend some cameras that are just right and you won't regret it.

3. What is my budget?

Before you plunge into the photographic equipment store or website, you must first find out how much money you have, and within your own budget, choose the two questions mentioned above and combine them with the fourth question. I have such a question. When I go into the store to buy something, I will have the impulse to choose a new style. If I forget the ability to pay the money, I sometimes add some economic risks to myself. The same is true of buying a camera. Don't make such a mistake unless I really like it and value it. I think people who need to read this article should not know what camera they need to buy.

4. What functions are needed in the camera?

The functionality mentioned here is not the multifunction you want, but tells you which part of the camera you pay more attention to when you buy the camera at this step. There is no perfect camera now. If you have been looking for this, then I think you don't want to buy a camera, but you need a dream. Choose according to what you like to shoot, such as do you like to shoot sports? Portrait? Scenery? Underwater? Activities? Or a record? Make a list of the topics you care about according to their importance, see what is most important to you, and briefly understand the functions of the camera, which are more suitable for the topics you want to shoot. Although the more functions, the better, but you have to pay for the extra functions accordingly.

By sorting out the above four points, you can basically choose a camera that suits you.
