Hello again,

As I posted the last time, I write about the tips of choosing a good digital camera.


3, Optical Zoom

This is a very important factor when it comes to choosing a camera. And you always care ONLY OPTICAL ZOOM, never pay attention to digital zoom. Optical zoom is a physical zooming capability. The lens of the camera physically moves and try to take a closer look of subject(s) which you want to take a picture of. If you see a celebrity and try to take a close up of that person, you need a better optical zoom.

Digital zoom is, on the other hand, a digital magnification of an image. When you look a picture on your computer, and click (+)zoom button and magnify the image to see some details. When you do this, the picture is still the same, you are only looking a magnified image of the picture. The picture never be expand or becomes bigger. This is exactly what happens when you use digital zoom on your digital camera. Basically it is fooling you.Never be fooled by some ads saying 100x digital zoom. It doesn't matter 50x, 100x, or 200x, the camera still takes the exactly same quality of a picture regardless the size of digital zoom.

Always care Optical zoom, but never care Digital zoom.

4, Weight and Size

Some people might have different opinions why I put weight as my 4th key point of choosing a camera. I personally believe that weight of camera affects how often you take out your camera with you. It's true that better functions a camera has, the heaver the camera tends to become. But, the most important point of having a digital camera for regular people(not professional photographers) is taking picture of their lives. It doesn't make sense if you tend to leave the camera at home because it's simply heavy and big!

I believe that a smaller camera is better because it's easy to carry, but a super light camera is sometimes difficult to operate. When you take a picture, you press a shutter button. When you do it, the camera should have certain amount of weight to stabilize the lens. A good camera has just enough weight to reduce camera shakes.

I hope these tips help you, and I will write more later!

Choosing a digital camera

Nowadays, digital camera is very affordable. And, you have SO MANY options to choose from.

If you don't know about camera, you would be overwhelmed and might be frustrated too because the catalogs say how many mega pixel,, speed,, and such.

the question is how you choose the best camera for you.

Before even going to shop a camera, you should think about this FIRST!
The bottom line is HOW you use the camera you buy.

You might want to photograph memories with your friend every time you go out.
You might take a lot of action photo of your kids running.
You might need to shoot high quality pictures for your business...

Your purpose of buying a camera could be very different from others.


Here are the major points you would like to consider when you buy a consumer digital camera:


1,Price - Set your budget, you will be amazed how much those low price camera can do.

2,Mega Pixel - This is the term you much detail you can capture to your picture.

+ In general higher number the camera offer, the more detail you can save.
- higher mega pixel setting eats more space on your memory card. Sometimes, people don't need high mega pixel camera. unless you print the pictures on a large print, 5-7 mega pixel produces good pictures. (On high mega pixel camera, you can always set lower mega pixel, so you have more options)


Today, I posted only 1 and2, I will post the rest of the tips tomorrow. Be sure to check this site again!

Starbucks and a photographer.

I am a big fun of tea.

Near my house, there is a starbucks. Well, there are a bunch of them.. I go just a one of the particular ones. I usually get some sweeten black ice tea. When it's really hot and I am thirsty, I want to drink something quickly, so tea is better choice for me.

No offense to coffee. But, when i drink a lot of coffee, I get calls from nature A LOT! I tend to avoid coffee.

Well, Starbucks' coffee is too bitter for me anyway.
