Digital cameras
Digital photography
allows you to be more easily involved in the creation of the print than film
photography
Digital cameras give you extraordinary control over
images. You can transfer them to your computer, then crop, adjust color and
contrast, and add textures and other special effects. You can make prints at
home on a color inkjet or snapshot printer, drop off the memory card at one of a
growing number of photofinishers, use a self-service kiosk at your local
drugstore to select, edit, and print pictures instantly, or upload images to an
online photofinisher. Final results can be e-mailed, made into cards or
T-shirts, or uploaded to a photo-sharing Web site for storage, viewing, and
sharing with others.
Like camcorders, digital cameras have LCD monitors
for composing shots or viewing those already taken. Many digital cameras can
also shoot video with sound. While some camcorders can shoot still photos, a
typical camcorder's resolution is no match for a good still
camera's.
WHAT'S AVAILABLE
The
leading brands are Canon, Fujifilm, HP, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus, and Sony. Other
brands come from consumer-electronics, computer, and traditional camera and film
companies.
It's easier than ever to go to extremes with a digital camera.
Small is bountiful, and big is also booming. The smallest cameras we tested
recently, subcompacts, weigh 5 to 8 ounces and can fit in a pocket.
Price: $185 to $450.
Mainstream compacts are too big to pocket,
but small enough for most handbags and glove boxe. The ones we tested recently
weigh 7 to 14 ounces. Price: $140 to $480.
More serious cameras have the
versatility and power to capture fast action or create photographic art under
the most demanding light conditions. Advanced compact cameras are
typically larger and heavier than compacts, with versatile controls and long
zoom lenses. Price: $280 to $850.
Super-zoom cameras are
characterized by a very long zoom range--10x or greater. While traditionally
larger and heavier than compacts, a few new models are designed to be smaller
and lighter than older models. Price: $250 to $700.
SLRs
(single-lens reflex), the largest and heaviest type, offer the most versatility
and power, including interchangeable lenses. Price: $600 to $1,700 for consumer
models; professional models can cost thousands.
