Here are 5 Considerations Before Buying SLR Camera
Choosing the right digital SLR camera is a complicated affair with a flood of its own brands and types of cameras on the market. Currently there are at least 10 camera manufacturers (Canon, Fujifilm, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Samsung, Sigma, and Sony) and a total of about 40 types of SLR.
We will try to unravel some of the non-technical factors that should be taken into consideration before determining the choice of SLR cameras to be purchased:
1. If my father gave a legacy lenses
Yes, if your father gives legacy lenses from film era, this could change the decision. Some digital SLR cameras compatible with the current fixed lens on autofocus film camera era. Brand digital SLR Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Minolta (now Sony) will be compatible with the lens autofocus SLR camera is intended for those in the days of film. Bring your old lenses to the camera store had to ensure compatibility with the camera to be purchased.
2. The camera is often used friends – friends?
Cameras are often used friends – friends also can affect our decisions. If a lot of my friends use Canon, for example, buy a Canon. If they use Nikon, buy Nikon. This will help us in the case of “borrowing free lens.” A basic tricks to try, but it’s better if the term was changed to “exchanging lenses.” So we’re not just knee capital.
3. Ease of service and after sales
Try as much as you might buy a camera from a local store in your town, if not try to buy from the nearest town. When the camera need servicing or cleaning the sensor, for example, the service will be faster than the need to send it via the package and so on. In addition, we may be allowed to borrow free of charge provided by the store a backup camera for the camera serviced (due to camera repair usually takes a long time). It is sometimes more important than the price difference is not too much. Also worth considering is how well the reputation of a camera manufacturer serving customers complaints.
4. How our budget
The budget is an important factor in determining which camera to buy. Peace was the one with the money, build a system not only requires SLR cameras, but also an important accessory lenses and some other (image processing software, computers, tripods, filters, flash, camera bag, battery backup, etc.). If there dikantong Rp.20 million, not wise if it is spent for the camera alone. Build the SLR system is a long road that could drain the contents of the bag when not disciplined budget. Any suggestions from senior photographers that have a quality lens makes better pictures than if we had a nice camera but the lens is bad.
5. How serious are you
Important ask is how seriously you want to dive into the world of photography. If you want since the beginning of a serious plunge into photography, do not be far away – far away from Nikon or Canon. Both of these manufacturers is the master of the SLR camera market. Eight of 10 SLR camera has a Canon or a Nikon logo on its body (each about 40%). why would they be so dominant? the answer is because they are too serious. Pro photographers in time would require a special lens or accessory to meet its needs. Flash particular macro or 600mm lens with a stabilizer, for example, Nikon and Canon provide a variety of accessories that can meet our needs, and more importantly its stock available in our city (or at least in Jakarta). Different if we do not have any demands “crazy”, I think one of the nine brands above will be able to meet our needs.
