Digital Camera Homework - Factors To Consider Before Purchasing a Digital Camera

Buying a digital camera can be a scary proposition, especially if you've only dealt with 35mm cameras in the past. Though the market used to be pretty small it's exploded, leaving consumers a huge range of options from $20 point and shoot digitals to $1,000+, professional level digital single lens reflex setups. So what sort of camera is right for you?

The biggest thing to keep in mind when buying a digital camera is what you plan on using the camera for. For example, if you want a small, easy to carry camera for taking photos at parties and emailing them to friends, you probably want a small, ultra-light camera. These cameras are point-and-shoots with little or no zoom and a relatively low resolution, but the small resolution won't matter unless you're printing the photos larger than 4x6, and the ultra-small size of these cameras makes them easy to drop into a purse or shirt pocket for a night out.

Or, maybe you want to use your digital camera in the same way you did your 35mm, sending a few photos to friends and printing others out for storage in albums or for a few larger wall hangings. Then consider buying a digital camera in the point-and-shoot range, something with a resolution between three and five mega pixels. Though these cameras may not always fit in a shirt pocket, they're still easy to carry and use. Most come with a decent optical zoom that will allow you to get close to your subject, a few different shooting modes for taking portraits, indoor, and outdoor shots, and various other features depending on the model and manufacturer. The higher resolution will allow you to print out crisp photos, either at home or at a photo processing store.

If you're buying a digital camera to compete with your 35mm SLR or want to get into more advanced digital techniques, you'll want something in between the point-and-shoot and the full-on, professional digital SLR. You fit into the "prosumer" category, squarely in between the professional and the standard consumer. In the past five years the digital camera market has really responded to this section of the market, offering up a large number of fully-featured, relatively inexpensive cameras. Digital SLRs with a full range of interchangeable lenses usually start around $1,000, while other cameras with many of the features of the SLRs but without the interchangeable lens system can be had for much less.

Whatever you're looking for, be sure to do your homework while buying a digital camera and try out a few cameras before you buy. If the camera you buy matches your needs well, you'll be taking great pictures for years.

What is the photgraphy technique called where you have an extreme upward angle of your object?

I recently took this picture at a musuem where a pendulum was hanging from a dome windowed roof. I looked upward and thought it would make a great picture. I took the picture with my digital HP and to my surprise the shot was amazing. I had the pic set at work as my desktop back ground and a fellow coworker came by (who happens to be a professional photographer on the side) and made a comment along the lines of it being a far from an amatuer shot and then gave the name of the technique. She said she really thinks I have an eye for the interesting. Well, needless to say she has since moved on from the company and I have not been able to remember the name of the technique. Any help would be great! I wouldn't call myself anything more then a shutter bug as I am always taking pictures. Many of them involve my children when they least expect it and other every day objects turned into something special thru a camera lense.

I'd simply refer to it as low-angle photography. A photo taken at ground-level looking up is dogs-eye-view (seriously!). Since it was taken a such a sharp angle it could also be called oblique-angle. My two copper's worth.
