A former point-and-shoot photographer can take professional quality pictures with a digital SLR (single-lens reflex) camera by learning about and experimenting with its complex operations. There are many advantages to making the transition from a point-and-shoot digital camera to a digital SLR camera. These include capturing images “more quickly, more flexibly, and with more creativity” (Busch, Digital 9). Furthermore, taking photos with a digital SLR camera reduces the amount of time that otherwise would be spent editing with photo-editing software to improve the quality of the photos. Why would one want to switch from a point-and-shoot digital camera to a digital SLR camera? Some of the reasons are: a more accurate viewfinder, a more powerful sensor, less noise in the photos, depth-of-field control, speed, similarity to a regular SLR camera, more lens flexibility, and freedom from image editors (Rowse). Some disadvantages are: expense, size and weight, and complication of use. What are some of the key features to think about when purchasing a digital SLR camera? Some of the features are: lenses, sensors and image processors, exposure systems, and focusing systems. There are also special features to consider for the individual photographer’s needs (Busch, Digital 61-63). Lenses are one of the main items to consider when purchasing and using a digital SLR camera. All digital SLR cameras come with a basic general purpose (mid-range or normal) lens, but many people would rather have some specialty lenses, depending on the type of photography in which they are interested. Some of these specialty lenses are: zoom, prime, wide-angle, fish eye, telephoto, and macro. In addition, it is important to get a lens wit... ... middle of paper ... ...35-40). One should take many pictures in different ways so that the ones offering the best composition can be chosen later. If the above suggestions are followed, quality photographs should be the result. However, the photographer may want to enhance the photos by using photo-editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Picasa, Picnik, GIMP, or Adobe Photoshop Express. The last four programs are downloadable and free (“Photo Editing Software”). In conclusion, a former point-and-shoot photographer can make the transition to a digital SLR camera and take professional quality pictures by learning about and experimenting with the camera’s complex features and operations. The first step is to purchase a digital SLR camera that suits the photographer’s needs. Then, one should start taking pictures - lots of them!
Cameras go way back to the year 1879, and have advanced greatly throughout the years. They used to be huge and bulky with all kinds of attachments and stands. Now they are so small and thin that they are put in everyday items that we use, for instance, cell phones and laptops. Backs then cameras were less than $40 and they were made with glass that was 6.5 by 8.5 inches thick (Patti). Now in this time of age, cameras can go from a few hundred bucks to thousands of dollars depending on the camera, and they are much smaller with clearer pictures now. In 1912 Kodak came out with the Vest Pocket camera, which sold for only six dollars. It had a glass lens of 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 inches thick, which is much
Ask a professional photographer to give some names of camera manufacturers and chances are one of it would be Canon. For the digital section, Canon continued to impress with their history of innovation and with its current technology it allowed novice costumers to learn about their product and professionals to comfortably point and shoot their favorite object. Introducing Canon PowerShot S400 (as shown in FIGURE 1), it is a product only by Canon, and to tell you the truth it is really classy. Proven popular among consumers, S400 has the reputation for its small dimensions and compact size and these two features make S400 a very practical product. S400 is actually the world’s smallest 4 mega pixel digital camera and it is also well known for its image quality. This camera features a stainless body with a new super hard protection that will resist any scratch. It can also record movies for a length of up to three minutes.

Photography has come a long way from the heliograph to the digital photograph. Throughout the history of photography there has always been a popular demand for a faster and more precise way to create the image; dating back to 1837 when the first ever Daguerreotype made its appearance in France. The Daguerreotype required only 3-30 minutes of exposure time to create an extremely detailed representation of nature. Along with the need of accuracy, came the need for making multiple copies of the same image. With this new need came the collodian, which could not only create an exact replica of the world, but could also create multiple copies of that replica. In the pursuit of extreme precision and multiplicity we have arrived at the era of digital photography. The first ever-recorded attempt to build a digital camera came in 1975 by Kodak.

Kodak is the world’s foremost imaging innovator. George Eastman put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers in 1888. In so doing, he made a cumbersome and complicated process easy to use and accessible to nearly everyone. Since that time, the Eastman Kodak Company has led the way with an abundance of new products and processes to make photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. With sales of $13.3 billion in 2006, the company is committed to a digitally oriented growth strategy focused on helping people better use meaningful images and information in their life and work.

Photography Is used for business, science, manufacturing, art, recreational purposes, mass communication, and more.

He said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” Photography has a long interesting history, like the fact that the word photography is made up of two greek words, photos meaning ‘light’ and graphein which is ‘to draw’ !
