In a world so
advanced and filled with technology, companies try to make their best products giving
you the opportunity to get the best results. The Digital Cameras or DSLR world is
not behind in technology. Today we have resources that years ago people did not
even though could exist from latest technology lens to high performance flashes.
Most of the things we see today in photography didn’t existed ten years ago. I am
one hundred percent sure that if you were to tell a photographer from the 90’s
that you can storage more than a thousand pictures in a two grams SD card thy
would take you as a joke.

Of course I have to say that having
a Canon EOS 1Ds x Mark III or a Nikon D3X really helps. But because you have
the latest technology does not mean you are always going to get the best
results or photos. Photographer Chase Jarvis once said: “The best camera is the
one you have with you,” this quote couldn’t explain this better I have seen
photographers using super expensive equipment but when I see their photos the
results aren't as good as I expected. The goal is to know your camera, once you
know your camera and you have full control of everything you will always get spectacular
results.
A couple years ago when I was
starting photography one of my hardest decision was choosing my first DSLR
camera. Today many beginners pas trough the same thing especially nowadays that
there are too many cameras to choose from. Here are some tips that I want to
share with you if you are deciding on getting your first DSLR. First review
your budget, how much money do you count with or how much money are you willing
to expend on a camera. A decent DSLR camera worth around a thousand dullards. Now
I am talking about decent DSLRs like the Nikon 3200, Nikon 5200, Canon T3i, and
Canon 4i. These cameras are really good for beginners. They are really worded
their prices. Second go to a camera store and play with them this might sounds
silly but it really helps you might not
like the way a camera feels on your hands, you might think it is too heavy or
too light o or maybe you just don’t like the way it is designed. Once you have
decides on a camera that you like don’t go crazy and buy it where you think it
is cheaper. Go online and research on it you might found things that you don’t like
in online reviews, watch hands on reviews on YouTube. This step is the most important
when choosing a camera because you get a lot of feedbacks and advice from
photographers who use the camera that you like.
When buying you can find a lot of
great deals online but don’t think that you are always getting the best deal on
line. Sometime local stores can give you great offers without having to pay the
overpriced shipping fees that online stores have. If you are purchasing a
camera (body only) the price won’t be too high, but when you add the lens,
memory cards and etc. the price can get really expensive. This is why I would recommend
camera bundles. Companies trying to sell more create camera kits giving you
more for less price. You have to take advantage of that finding the best that
matches you.
