Which Type of Digital Camera Do You Use?

So which type of digital camera do you use?

In yesterdays post I took a look at how digital cameras work, so today I thought I’d take a look at the different types available. Although for me it’s not just a question of which type I use, it’s also which type I would like to have! Here are the different types:

1. Point and Shoots

These are great for taking snapshots and are generally small and easy to fit into a pocket or bag, so they can be taken anywhere. They have come a long way and take good images for snapshots and also are reasonably priced. But they do have limited features and options that you can use and therefore limit the photographs that you can take. At the moment this is the type I use.

2. Advanced Point and Shoots

These cameras have all the features of point and shoots but they have greater resolution (megapixels) and have more options and features for taking photographs.

3. Digital SLR Cameras

These cameras are for very keen photographers or professionals. SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex and are very similar to 35mm film SLR’s. You are able to change the lens and may find that some 35mm lens will fit your digital SLR. They are fantastic for being in control of your creativity when taking photographs, and they have very high resolution so they can be used by professionals. But this means they are expensive! And this is the one I would like…

Which one do you use?

Thanks
