How to choose a camera?

How to choose a camera? The first schedule an exact amount of money you are willing to invest in the purchase of the camera, thus you just sweep aside towards a sufficiently large number of models.
Also it is assumed, for which you need a camera. Decide for yourself the question, would you take a photo at the household level, or intend to take pictures at a professional level.
If the camera you need for everyday use just to capture some important events of your life, it is quite suitable compact and inexpensive apparatus. These models are called "Soap." About them and talk.
How to choose a camera, so as not to overpay for the extra features? First of all, pay attention to what the buyers? The number of pixels. Many people think that more of them, the better the camera and the quality of the images. But it's not entirely true. To print out a standard photo size 13x18 cm, enough to take a model that has a 3.5 megapixel sensor.
Zoom (zoom), or increasing the focal length is a very handy feature. Zoom can be digital and optical. The first "stretch" the image using the built-in software. Images are not of sufficient quality. Optical zoom allows you to make very high quality images as well as the increase is made by means of optics. Personally I never use digital zoom. If you want to subsequently increase the available memory card images, then I'll just treat a picture on your computer.
When buying a camera, take a look at the minimum ISO. If it is less than 100, it is better to choose another model. At the maximum ISO novice users can not pay attention, because the more the ISO, the more graininess.
How to choose a camera, so that the colors match the most real? For example, to white was really white and did not depend on the lighting. To do this, there is a handy feature - manual white balance.
When buying a camera, take a look at shutter speed and accuracy of autofocus.
It is important to know from any power source is working the camera. Available are models that run on regular batteries. This is convenient because you can buy a replacement battery in any supermarket, but not very practical, since this power supply is exhausted quickly, that is, the batteries should be changed.
More practical are the batteries. But pay attention to the capacity of the battery. Very handy when you have a spare, fully charged battery. You never know if there's an interesting shot.
When choosing a digital camera, note whether it is convenient to rewrite the files on your computer. If the records need to install any special software, it is not the best option. Suddenly, you have to work on another computer. Whether the owner wants to put on your machine it unnecessary program?
How to choose the camera such that it was not necessary to disassemble and clean the dust from the matrix? There is a feature - automatic cleaning of the matrix. Its presence in the chamber is not more than

be.
Few know that the cameras may be found in the so-called "broken pixels". That is, no matter what you shot, some point will always be the same color. The law allowed a maximum of three such points. Do I need this to you?
How to choose a camera without this defect? Bring to the store two pieces of paper in black and white. Take a few shots, and then take a picture of both sheets. If the camera does not allow it in automatic mode, change control mode to manual. When maximizing the view frame on the unit in the "View". If you find such a point, ask to replace the camera.
Finally, it is very important for beginners. Pay attention to the ease of use both by the apparatus and its functions. The more relevant your function keys displayed on the individual, the better.
