Choosing A digital cameraI've never been savvy about technology. I was always quite content to use those Kodak disposable cameras that you can buy pretty much anywhere and they take some really great photos. Apparently, my family thought that it was time that I came out of my shell and joined the rest of the modern world. When I first announced that my husband and I were expecting our first child, my parents decided that we needed to have a digital camera. They insisted that it would save us so much money and make things so much nicer for us. My father told us how we can save the photos or delete them instead of paying to develop an entire roll of film for horrible photos. My mom said that a digital camera would give us much better quality photos and she expected her grandchild's pictures to be spectacular. I tended to agree but hated to admit to it. Besides, didn't a digital camera cost a lot of money? The first time I laid my eyes on a digital camera was in the year 2000. The company I was working with had a very technology savvy CEO. While he was an otherwise nice person, he had one major failing. He would go out and acquire the latest and the best of technological gadgets and gizmos. If that was all he did, it would be fine. But he would bring these back to the office to ‘share’ with us. It might have seemed like sharing to him, but to the rest of us (who, by the way were all under-paid) it felt as though he were gloating! Anyways, to get back to the topic at hand, he one day came into office with a digital camera and showed it off to us. Now, having never before seen an actual camera, one of the first things I did when it came into my hands was to look for the film housing. But try looking for some crevice like that in a digital camera which more closely resembles a block of shiny metal! Needless to say, I was perplexed much to the amusement of my colleagues. But then, it felt good to be holding a digital camera in my hands. Admittedly, film cameras were still not out of fashion, but digital cameras were slowly but steadily making their presence felt. And why not? A digital camera has so many advantages over a conventional film based camera. For one thing, a digital camera does not use film, instead, capturing the image directly onto the hard disk or a flash based memory. Not only does this help one save on repeated costs, it also enables easy conversion and mailing of photographs in digital format. So, with a digital camera, you no longer need printers, printing accessories or even scanners. Just connect, upload and share your photographs with your friends and loved ones. Of course there are those who feel that a digital camera takes away from the essence of photography – the artistic stage where the photographer is able to touch-up on the photographs during the development stage in order to highlight a few factors or even to conceal any flaws. But with the omnipresence of digital image manipulation tools like Photoshop among a host of others, a digital camera is a potent tool that can make an artist of even the most clumsy of us. So the next time you want to go in for a good camera, make sure you go for a digital camera. For Christmas, one month after the conversation, I unwrapped the first present and found a digital camera. What a shock. My father told us that he was searching for a digital camera that would be perfect for us and came upon this top quality one. He insisted that it was not too expensive and would be very simple to learn how to use. I figured that figuring out a digital camera would be my husband's job, not mine. However, after I started to experiment with it, I decided that joining modern civilization could be exciting afterall. I absolutely loved owning a digital camera. Before too long, I found that it was very simple to use and the photos were definitely a much better quality. My only complaint was that the batteries didn't seem to stay charged for too long, but switching battery brands changed that immediately. Having a digital camera has come in handy so many times since becoming a parent. I love that I don't need to waste my money developing photos that I know her eyes ended up closing or she started to cry. I can simply delete the photos and start over. A digital camera has definitely caught some wonderful moments in my new family. I've found myself taking more photos now than I ever did before. I am also getting more creative with the photos that I am taking. At a year old, my daughter sees a digital camera, or any camera, and knows to smile. She's become quite the little model for me. A digital camera captures so many more colors and details than a disposable camera does. As much as I hated to admit it, my parents' suggestions of owning a digital camera were some of the best suggestions they've ever made. tips for buying a digital camera what to look for when buying a digital camera The Full Article continue here
