The Right Camera Equipment
There are ways of ensuring that you upgrade effectively within a budget, you don’t have to go overboard, simply pay us a visit and check the equipment that you want at a good price. This is generally the least important factor. A cheap lens properly used will smear fine details by at most a few pixels or a few film-grains, or create subtle though often annoying color fringes or flare when the sun is in the picture. Poor lighting gives a bad picture to begin with. Lack of adequate angle of view makes it impossible to fit that picture into the camera. Poor focus speed misses an action photo entirely, poor focus and depth of field, inadequate shutter speed, or grossly inadequate magnification will smear out a photo by many, many pixels. There are many upgrades that you can look at and make up your mind on which to take while you are there. Start with moderately-priced compact digital camera with some manual setting capability. This enables learning from mistakes for free and will always be available as a backup. Some are ruggedized and waterproofed, at a much lower marginal cost than other digital cameras.
Choose a brand that you believe with no doubt that it will deliver what it promises and do your work with and keep using it for the next months. You might choose one that shares lenses with film SLRs, such as
Canon, Nikon or Pentax. These have much better low-light performance and faster operation than compact cameras. If you are already an experienced photographer feel free to get only the film SLR, but the digital camera greatly speeds up the learning-from-mistakes process.
Some cameras, such as Canon, can control multiple flashes at variable ratios from the camera with a very high degree of automation, often with accessories required. You also visit
