There are thousands of compact cameras on the market, as many functions and structures, with many options and settings to confuse even me, a photographer. So let me share with you the main features that attract my attention since the technology continues to improve.
Compact Digital Cameras struggle to produce decent wide-angle images, most are about 34 millimeters at their widest angle. In the old days of this film is an objective criterion for reporting work.
Wide Angle: A zoom compact that can reproduce images with 28 mm of adjustment you will cover a surface of a given point. 28 mm is ideal for the indoor air of plans or group in tight places. But then, every 28 mm in May showed serious distortions in the edges. Carl Ziess created more lenses designed for Leica camera range. So for me, as a wide-angle lens and built to the standard Leica lenses always capture my interest.
Megapixels: The largest is the best … Why? Because every picture taken with a large megapixels allow you to earn money, you choose to make your travel plans in a library (eg Alamy.com). On the Internet, you do not need a megapixel camera, but if you want the work is reproduced in print at a later stage, the more megapixels the camera is of better quality. Example a 14-megapixel camera of 14 million bits of an image, this digital camera lets you store more color detail, in the form of the gradation of colors and allows you to enlarge the photos of much of enlargements.
Film speed: The image sensors in digital compact cameras tend to be of a quality that is optimized for a good light so that the current decline of all digital cameras is their low ability in situations of low lighting. Therefore, I recommend setting the film on your digital camera over 200 iso. The image sensor of 35 mm professional digital cameras tend to cope with low light conditions and have a better reputation with no visible degradation between 100 and 400 iso. Until I can find a compact that has this ability I do not use film faster and putting in 200 iso.
Currently owns a 14.7-megapixel Panasonic Lumix FX150 camera. It’s not as expensive as a Leica compact camera, but use the same lenses that are in the range of Leica compact. It is 28 millimeters wide, has an aperture of F2.8, allowing in more light than most of the camera. E ‘can save images in the “gross” that the institution allows me to capture the maximum dynamic range of a photo (JPEG format is a process of interpretation) and the sound is OK when used in video, It is perfect for my blog from YouTube.
