Photo Book Ideas - A Summer Book

Photo books are all the rage, and for good reason. They are more creative than a mere photo album, and a great way to have physical copies of digital photos all in one place. Here are some tips for a photo book that has a summer theme.

Photography:

So much happens during the summer months that it can be difficult to capture it all. But you have to try anyway, if you are going to make a photo book with a summer theme. The first thing you have to do is to get in the habit of having your camera with you at all times and to use it. Get a large memory stick and make a habit of loading its contents onto your computer on a regular basis. That way you can snap away without ever having to worry that you are going to run out of room.

And snap away you should. The more photos you take, the better you will get at it, and the more you will have to choose from when you are putting your book together. When you are shooting your pics, make sure that you get plenty of photos of the people in your life, of course (both candid and posed) but do the best you can to make sure that you also get lots of shots of the natural beauty of summer. Take some walks around the neighborhood, or to some parks, the beach or the mountains, and get some shots there. You will find that the more photos you take, the more you take on the mindset of a photographer, and the more ideas you will get for good photos.

As stated above, there are so many things that happen in the summer that are photo worthy that you might have a hard time choosing what to include in your book. This is a good thing. It is better to have too much material than to have not enough. Vacations, little league games, barbecues, impromptu gatherings, going down to the ol' swimming hole; these are all great photographic fodder, and you should do the best you can to capture them all.

Writing:

If you have room in your pocket for your digital camera, you can also make room for a little notebook. This will help you to write great captions for your photos, and you can also just jot down thoughts and ideas, or funny stories as they happen or as they occur to you. If you are not big on writing, you can take a look around online or in some books for great summer quotes. You can also get some help from friends for this part. A little bit of text here and there will help tie the book together.

Arranging and Designing:

There are lots of ways to do this, but the easiest is probably to find a template online and download it. However if you are adept at using programs such as InDesign, all the better! MS Word and Pagemaker can also help you in this regard.

When you are arranging the book, there are a number of ways to look at things. You could do a simple month by month retrospective, create some chapters based on the types of activities (parties, hikes, etc.), or simply grab some of your best photographs and arrange them randomly with bits of text. DO whatever feels right, and let your creativity guide you.

Best Rated Professional Digital SLR Camera - Nikon D3

If you want a professional camera that will let you just shoot and get great images fast and easy then you are looking for the Nikon D3, which is considered by many to be the best rated digital SLR camera.

With the Nikon D3 you don't need to check out a lot of reviews in order to check its performance. All you need to do is ask anyone who has it and they will surely tell you how great it is to have a camera that is so feature-rich, so convenient to use and creates fabulous images. Such praises you would also hear from any professional photographer who has held this equipment even for just a short while. This camera will definitely let you do the things you are not able to do with other cameras, or let's you do them at a much higher standard.

Best Rated Digital SLR Camera -- Usage

The Nikon D3 can be used professionally for events such as news, sports and action, and it is also very good in taking landscape photos. This camera really provides quality performance. It has a lot of image processing tricks, more than you could imagine, which will make it easier for you to create the image you have perceived in your mind. It will also allow you to get more quality pictures in different conditions than ever before. This Nikon D3 camera adds more speed, more choices of lens, triples the battery life of its predecessor which is called the D300 and sports a real-time viewfinder camera display just positioned on its top.

Best Rated Digital SLR Camera - Popularity

Many professional photographers consider this model as the best one so far made by Nikon. It was launched around the year 2007 and after a few months it gained a lot of popularity among professional and non-professional photographers alike.

With this camera, you get excellent quality of pictures. The pictures are so much like real-life and like what you want to achieve, that the camera becomes an extension of your imagination. So its performance is also mainly limited by your own imagination!

Best Rated Digital SLR Camera -- Composition

Another advantage you can derive in buying this product is its ability to produce pictures with excellent composition. This is due to the fact that it has a very big, bright, and sharp finder more than any of its predecessors. You would not see any scratches that would interfere with composition in using this model. Its focusing and composition improvements are just so remarkable that anyone looking for a brand new camera who is a very serious enthusiast or (semi-)professional user should seriously consider having this one.

The D3's adjustment of automatic settings is considered to be pretty strong, so often you can get away with just using automatic settings. As a more serious photographer you probably don't want to do that, but if you need to be quick for that one special shot, it is good to know that your Nikon D3 will do its utmost to make it perfect. That's one of the reasons why people consider this to be one of the best rated digital SLR cameras today. Use this camera and you will have what you need to take great professional-looking photos.

Leica S2 - The Best Digital 35mm Camera

The Best Digital SLR

If money is no object and you are looking for the best possible 35mm digital SLR, then you will want to know exactly which is the best digital SLR. At the moment most people would probably reply the Nikon D3, but this is about to change. This summer Leica, who were always known as the Rolls-Royce of 35mm cameras, will be launching their latest offering in digital SLRSs - the Leica S2.

The only problem there is likely to be with the new S2 is the cost. With this new digital SLR Leica are taking aim at the medium-format digital camera market, by creating a 35mm camera that can provide the same quality image as a medium-format camera such as a Hasselblad. The Nikon D3 for example has a 24 megapixel sensor, which is about double that of the 'average' high-quality digital camera.

The Leica S2 will be taking this even further by featuring a 37.5 megapixel digital sensor. In Leica's own words the Leica S2 is a "remarkable new camera from Germany that redefines the professional DSLR class with a custom 37.5-megapixel, 30 x 45 mm sensor built into a 35mm-sized body".

This digital camera is expected to seriously shake up the digital camera world and will force other manufacturers to significantly improve their products. 

The 37.5 megapixel 30 x 45 mm sensor on the Leica S2 is almost 60% larger than full frame 35mm and the quality it offers is "well beyond that obtainable by conventional pro-caliber DSLRs".

The aim is to combine the quality of a medium-format digital camera with the ergonomics, and ease of use of a 35mm DSLR.

Back in 1925 Leica redefined photography when they created the legendary model A. The S2 is expected to have the same effect on digital photography in the 21st century.

The S2 is completely weather-sealed for use in the studio and also outdoors as it is, according to Leica, the ideal camera for "people who actually want superior image quality, but the nice hand-held option of taking pictures. So more the moving kind of taking pictures."

Although the S2 approaches medium-format quality, it is significantly lighter and less cumbersome, you can therefore take it with you up mountain sides with relative ease, which cannot be said for medium-format cameras which are heavy and generally also require a tripod to be carried up the mountain too.

Leica are keen to emphasize that the S2 is a "tool, not a toy," and that it has been created for professional photographers and pro-am photographers who require quality and reliability, it also has only enough buttons as are absolutely essential to professional photographers, i.e. there is no unnecessary no clutter.

The launch of the S2 is expected for the summer of 2009 and will be up against medium-format cameras such as the Hasselblad H3DII-39 megapixel with an 80mm lens. The Hasselblad sells for around $22,000 - the Leica S2 is expected to be priced around $20,000 - so start saving.

Family Groups and Beach Portraits

Whether you're a family of 16, a family of 4, or even a family of 2, we will create beautiful images on the beach for you. Every year we have large groups up to 28 people and small parties of just 2, and regardless of the group dynamics we have a great time shooting and all of "my families" walk away happy. Thought I'd pass along some info for those looking to get their beach portrait with us this summer, or maybe you are thinking about next summer. Maybe you are part of a family of four and not sure what we can do for you, or maybe you are a large group and you are thinking, how are we going to manage this many people.

Starting with the large groups, as that is most often what people are thinking when they would like a family portrait taken on the beach. I can handle any large number of people, you can bring me 12, 28, even 50 people if you wanted. I often times say, "the More the Merrier", because we end up laughing and having one heck of a good time. With larger groups it takes a little more coordination and planning, and a little more time, but the price doesn't change, and its just a nice way to spend an afternoon. With these larger groups, the group may have many different family dynamics, Grandparents, Brothers, Sisters, Half sisters and brothers, grandkids, great grand parents, you get the idea. To help you and me both, before the shoot, think about the different combinations you might like to have photographed, and when the time comes, let me know who is who, so we can be sure to get all the different combinations you might like.

I usually like to start with the grand parents, relaxing on the sand, and photographing them by themselves. This helps me get my camera settings adjusted correctly and it gives the little ones an idea of how painless the photo taking process is. From there, I'll add the grand children in the photo with the grandparents, as that's a photo every family wants to have. And from this point it's a matter of adding everyone else to the photo, until we have everyone in the photo for our big group shot. I found it's the best way to build the big group photo, by building the family with the grandparents in the center and adding the different generations all around them. This doesn't mean we can't do it a different way, and often times, we'll end up taking multiple group photos, in different configurations.

With these larger family groups, there are often times, many smaller families, as I won't know who is who and what children belong to which parents, I often times need your help to make sure I get the smaller family units photographed with the right people. After breaking up the large group into the smaller families, from here we can shoot these photos in many different ways. An example of this setting is described below.

My classic family of 4: often times Mom, Dad, and two little ones. When shooting a family of four on the beach, I like to get shots like mom and dad together, with the little ones in their laps, and if they are old enough having the children kneeling behind the parents. And then have mom with her children and switching it up with dad and kids. Now there is all kinds of different things we can do from here, and we are only limited by our imaginations. Thankfully I've got a pretty good imagination.

If you are a family of 4 and you booked up the beach portrait and its only the four of you and us on the beach, you have options. Creative options if you are so bold as to try them, and keep in mind these are free options. With a family of four some of these ideas might appeal to you:

** You can bring a change of clothes if you want.
** You can also bring some personal props if you wanted: like Santa hats for Christmas cards later
** With babies, you can bring a towel or blanket and we can photograph them in the sand by themselves.
** I've been wanting to incorporate bubbles into some of my beach portraits for those who would like something little different.
** I've even been thinking of coming up with my own prop chest for things like hats and misc other items that might make for fun photos.

My families of two and three, you have all the cool options as a family of 4, only you get a few more options to add on to that. With less and less people in the group can make for a quicker shoot, or if you wanted to utilize the same amount of time, that's fine, as that will give you more images in the end anyway. I can sometimes photograph a family of 6 and shoot some 400 images and with the right family of 2 who are ok with spending the time, can walk away with 400 images easy, and in some cases, even 500 images might be taken. With less people in the photo, it gives us more time to experiment and gives us more locations to shoot at if we wanted. That's why I love photographing High School Seniors, as they will often times be OK with the time we spend shooting in different locations and being able to experiment with different camera effects we'll come away with many unique and exciting shots from our photo session.

The moral of this article or better put, if you are looking to book us up for a family beach portrait, get ready to have fun, and don't be afraid to voice your thoughts, opinions, or photo ideas. Together we can make our family beach portraits a photo shoot to remember. We can shoot as many photos as we have day light to shoot in, and sometimes we'll shoot well into the dusk time. We can get as conservative or as crazy as you might like. With nature as your own personal studio the limits are endless. We can do whatever you might like with this beach portrait, as it is your photo shoot, why wouldn't you want to make it into what you want?

The Rebel - An Article About Canon Rebel XTi

The EOS 400D, called the Rebel XTi in North America, is a single-lens reflex digital camera. Canon introduced this unique looking camera in 2006. It's the successor of the EOS 350D.

Canon considers the Rebel to be the best entry-level digital single lens camera of its kind on the market. It's a priced below $1,000.00 which makes it affordable especially when the lens is included. It produces some fine images with pure, sharp colors. It's also very quiet.

They upgraded the CMOS sensor to an impressive 10.1 megapixels. Among the other added features we get a larger continuous shooting buffer, an integrated image sensor, vibrating cleaning system and a more precise nine point auto focus system.

Canon didn't stop there! They even improved the grip of the unit and gave us a nice 2.5" LCD with 230,000 pixels and a larger viewing angle which replaced an ill-conceived top status screen. The changes Canon made to the newer model has a tendency to underexpose the subject whereas the older versions overexposed.

As a user of this model I've come to find out that if you remove your glasses or cover up the view finder it greatly limits the light from entering the unit and giving you an unwanted look. Sort of like a filter for the light. This is a fault in the calibration of the product and can't readily be fixed by upgrades.

I was personally impressed by the censor as the camera boasts 10.5 million pixels, RGB filter array, built-in low-pass filter and a nice 3:2 aspect ratio.

It outputs in three image sizes that can meet most photographer needs:

3888 x 2592

2816 x 1800

1936 x 1288

The camera allows you to save files in jpeg and large form raw files giving you the ability to connect via USB, video and remote to take your photos from the camera to your computer for printing and/or editing.

Rebel XTi retails at around $800.00 but if you want the optional lens kit that comes along for the ride you'll be paying roughly $100.00 more. This lowers the bar for other $1,000.00 10 megapixel cameras like the Nikon D80 which was also showcased in 2006. I'm looking forward to upgrading to the 5.6 IS USM lens which is Canon's fastest standard lens in production to date.

Change Summary And The White Sheet

In the end it all breaks down to the features. The Canon white sheet is impressive! The listing of features, the changes from the older camera to this version, is vast which makes this camera one of the best buys.

* -10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor with improved microlens array, fill factor and lower noise.

* -EOS Integrated Cleaning System

o .Anti-static coatings on sensor surfaces plus anti-dust materials in the camera body

o .Separate low pass filter with ultra-sonic vibration

o .Software based dust mapping / removal

* -Nine point Auto Focus sensor (same as EOS 30D) with F2.8 support

* -Continuous shooting burst up to 27 JPEG and 10 RAW images

* -Single large, bright, 2.5" LCD monitor with 160° viewing angles (horizontal and vertical)

* -Camera settings and adjustment on LCD monitor

* -Proximity sensor below viewfinder eyepiece to disable the LCD during composition

* -New viewfinder view includes 9 AF points as well as EOS 30D style status bar

* -Picture Styles, larger range of image parameter adjustment (same as EOS 30D)

* -Improved user interface

* -Image magnification available in record review

* -Histogram available as brightness (Luminance) or RGB (Red, Green, Blue)

* -Three settings for long exposure noise reduction (adds Auto option)

* -Auto rotation with three options (not recorded, record don't rotate, record and rotate)

* -Additional custom functions (magnified view in record review, LCD display at power on)

* -Up to 9999 images per folder on storage card

* -Automatic storage of setting adjustments (no longer requires a press of the SET button)

* -Improved print / share / direct print features

* -Lower introductory list price ($100 lower)

One feature that is revolutionary is the way the camera handles dust on the sensor! Dust, unfortunately, is attracted to electronics. Canon, after years of denying the existence of dust being able to get on the camera sensor, finally admitted it and fixed it!

Dust pretty much shows up from several sources but typically it's from fragments released by the moving components inside the camera. Before you had to take the camera apart to clean it or use some sort of blower or mini vacuum.

Canon took care of this issue by implementing the following:

* Used materials in the mirror box and shutter chamber which are less likely to generate dust.

* Improved the body cap, again to not generate dust.

* Used anti-static coating on the sensor surface.

* Created a new separated anti-alias filter which vibrates to shake off dust.

* Added a Dust Delete Data feature which can map stubborn dust to be removed in software.

This all helps keep your camera healthy for prolonged use. You can smile as your fellow photographers take time out of shoots to try and swab out their cameras while you continue to snap gleefully away.

As I've mentioned earlier there are two separate versions of the Rebel XTi but what comes in the box? And what doesn't?

* The 10.1 effective Megapixel Digital Rebel XTi camera body

* 18 - 55 mm F3.5 - 5.6 Mk II EF-S lens [lens kit only]

* NB-2LH li-ion rechargeable battery pack

* Battery charger

* Neck strap

* Eyecup

* Body cap

* USB cable

* Video cable

* CD-ROM featuring EOS Digital Solution and software instruction manual

* 179 page camera manual (printed)

Unfortunately the one drawback I found was that the camera did not come with a memory card. This can hinder your potential. So when you're going out to buy keep that in mind. CompactFlash cards are fairly inexpensive these and depending on your needs I'd do what I did and pick up a 1GB card. For tech heads out there the XTi supports Type I and II cards and even the microdrive. You might also want to pick up a 50X or better CF card.

I love photography and my work dictated the need for the lens kit so I sprung for it. When you get the kit you also get Canon's second gen 18-55 mm EF-S in the box. It's not the best and aperture can vary to small and unclear. I had little use for this one since the other lenses are quite nice.

The Rebel XTi uses the same lithium-ion battery as its predecessor. The energy value of the batter is right in the middle of the pack with the life of it about 10% less. Bigger LCD takes more power.

Personally I love this camera. I use it as a back up to my professional setup. If you want quality for price and reliability then I suggest the Rebel XTi. It makes a great mid-range camera for everyday photography needs such as real estate agents, car dealers and family vacations.

IDevilz Blood :: 1st GoW2 Montage (INCREDIBLE!)

Easily the best GoW2 montage yet. As far as gameplay goes, let's just put it this way. There's a two for one bow headshot. In the fucking CREDITS. Sniper quads and Torque 2 for 1 headshots galore, even if you don't like GoW2, you'll probably love this. The editing (By GunnReX), was just enough to keep the video interesting, and without affecting the visual experience of the gameplay. As well as keeping a consistent approach to the gameplay, the editing kept the montage extremely upbeat and fast paced. At times it seemed like a flurry of clips of pure rape just screaming through the monitor. And you have to love the HD Ghost camera angles haha. Since I'm sure someone will try to say every clip is host somehow; There is one host clip. At around 3:04 on Blood Drive.

Tamron 70-300mm Review - The Best Budget Telephoto Lens

I recommend this lens for photographers in search of a budget telephoto lens.

I tried the Nikon mount version on my Nikon D300s DSLR. Tamron also manufactures this lens for Canon, Pentax, and Sony DSLR cameras. Though many manufacturers such as Canon and Nikon used to produce a lens in this range using the same formula, they soon stopped. However, Tamron continued to improve their optical formula of their lens and the end product is very good.

This lens is a steal at its $165 street price. I have not come across a lower priced lens in this category. It has amazing optical quality and the build quality is acceptable. I have recommended this to many of my friends, who were looking for a budget lens and many are pleased.

For the price, the lens offers many excellent features. It has a fast and accurate autofocus features (although a bit noisy). This can be a distraction when you're trying to shoot discretely. However, you can remedy the situation by switching to manual focus. The front element rotates when focusing, so using a polarizing filter is not easy. Since this is a telephoto lens, and most people don't shoot landscape using telephoto, I don't foresee this to be a major problem for most users.

When I tested this lens on a cropped sensor DSLR, I found that the sharpness at both the center and the borders to be good. Only at 300mm does the border sharpness decrease. I also tested this lens for distortion and chromatic aberration. Both were negligible.

The zoom ring is a bit too tight for my comfort; I had to exert considerable force to rotate it. Surprisingly, the lens extended without any wobbling.

In dim light, use manual focusing as the slow aperture tends to make the lens hunt.

This lens can be used with either a full frame camera or a cropped sensor camera. I haven't had a chance to test this with a full frame camera, but I can definitely recommend this lens for any cropped sensor camera user looking for a budget telephoto lens.

Keep in mind that this is not a professional lens and I would not recommend this lens for professional photography.

If You're Looking For the Best SLR Camera, You've Found It

People are becoming more and more familiar with SLR cameras as new ones enter the market everyday. Now, digital SLR cameras are not as common as other types of cameras, and have usually been used more by professional photographers. Every year digital cameras are falling in price, and are now being sold just as much as compact cameras. Many new buyers have heard of these cameras, but just do not know the benefits of them and what makes them different.

SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex, and DSLR (which people commonly see) stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras allow the user to see exactly what the camera is seeing. You also have the option of changing the lens, which you cannot do with most other cameras. SLR cameras, when used properly, produce some of the highest quality pictures one will see. The best part about them is that they have close to 0 lag time, making it the best type of camera for action photographers.

The good thing about SLR cameras is that they are very good for all-around use. Unlike other cameras, SLR can be used for pictures ranging from action shots to still shots (and you will still get amazing quality either way).

Now, you may be wondering, how exactly does the Single Lens Reflex work in the camera? First of all, the light goes through the lens and hits a mirror. Then, this mirror reflects the light onto a screen. The light goes through this screen and goes into an area of glass which is known as the pentaprism. The pentaprism then reflects the picture so you can see it in the viewfinder. Now, it may seem like a long process, but the camera does it in less than a second, so no worries.

One of the best features of the SLR is the view finder. Although, what you see in the view finder is usually not 100% accurate, it is pretty darn close. Another key feature that is great about SLR cameras is that you can change lenses. Aside from the camera itself, the lens used will play a big role in how good your picture turns around. The lens will determine factors such as contrast, color, and clarity of your final picture. You can choose lenses that are perfect for your needs, which is great. A landscape photographer will generally not use a lens which is the same as one a sports photographer will use.

Should You Trust Reviews When Looking For The Best Digital Camera Deals?

You will find digital camera reviews all over the internet and in photography magazines but should you trust the reviews when you are looking for the best deals? When the camera reviews that you read in print and online mediums are all packed full of praises can you really trust them as being accurate? Consumers really should be equipped with the information to determine whether or not a review should be taken as being reliable so that they are able to get the very best deals.

The first thing that you should keep in mind while combing through reviews is that you should never trust any reviews that are in any way connected with a manufacturer of cameras. The only thing that they will reveal is what the good points of the camera happen to be and will not mention any potential negatives. Well of course you are going to be bombarded with all the wonderful things about a digital camera if you are reading something from the manufacturer because they are looking to boost sales.

If the manufacturer where to mention anything that could possibly go wrong they are not going to increase their sales are they? So if you are looking for the best digital deals you need to steer clear of press releases and reviews that have been created by the manufacturer. You need to be made aware of any potential issues that may have so that you are certain that you are getting the best possible deal. Promotional information created by camera manufacturers are simply trying to sell you on the good points of a camera so that you will purchase their product.

Home shopping network reviews of cameras should also be avoided if you are looking to get the best digital camera deals. They are packed full of all the positive points and will not tell you are whole lot if anything about any problems that you might encounter. However the good part of making a purchase through a home shopping network is that you have the ability to return your digital should it not work out for you.

The digital camera review that are going to help you get the best possible digital camera deals are the ones that you will find in specialty camera and computer magazines. If you look online you will also be able to find websites that contain reliable reviews that did not come directly from the camera manufacturer. The reviews that you will come across in these two mediums will cover both the good and the bad points. These types of reviews are very truthful and will often compare different models for consumers. The people that create these reviews are doing so from first hand experience using the camera equipment that they are writing about, they are not advertising professionals that are trying to sell you something.

Introducing the Best SLR Digital Cameras

Cameras commonly referred to as single lens reflex (single lens reflex) or DSLR (digital single lens reflex) are named that way because of their feature which affords the artist to see in the viewfinder the photograph that is about to be taken by the lens. Some of the best SLR digital cameras will be the topic of discussion for today.

One of the desired options of digital SLR cameras, is their simplicity in changing to different lenses for diverse picture taking scenes. Many photographers world wide select SLR cameras for the freedom multiple lenses offer. If your employing a non-single reflex camera, the angle of the viewfinder will not be exactly the same as what is being portrayed to the image capturing lens. It's not so bad, if you don't use zoom, but things may not work out if you try to zoom a picture and are finding problems with focal length. Here's where a digital single lens reflex really performs, as you the artist get to see the exact scene the camera will take.

While digital SLR purists may be staging a revolt, the determination by most camera makers including Olympus and Sony to allow customers to use the LCD or viewfinder to shape their images is a positive thing.Live View is not perfect, as there is a additional step of directing the intended photograph to a distinct sensor. The view screen then receives the saved sensor image. For a small performance hit, the photographer now experiences the picture without using the viewfinder. If you're buying an older model digital single reflex you might need to focus on the portrait manually if in Live View. Though, contrast autofocus is a feature in the best SLR digital cameras.

The Many Sides of DSLR Cameras

When an individual thinks of single reflex cameras, these are the type that come to mind. For the sake of illustration, these are the ones we will be discussing here. If you want to switch out lenses on these single lens reflex cameras, you can. With the option of a assortment of lenses, you can capture pictures from just about any distance, focal length, or perspective.

Any of the Canon Rebel cameras, as well as the Nikon D40, D60, and D90 grace this category.

While the digital single lens reflex is a great camera with a good photographer, many persons are scared off by the thought of expensive and heavy lenses. DSLR cameras of this type were popular not too long ago, but with the tapering price of single lens reflex technology, they have become somewhat reclusive.

There are literally hundreds of DSLR cameras to look at. You should only consider the best SLR digital cameras available. Amazon currently lists over 700 cameras in it's category of SLRs. The highly trusted websites offer customer service and support on par with the traditional camera stores.

How to Find the Best Digital SLR Camera That Suits You

Those who are planning on buying a digital SLR camera always ask, "what is the best digital SLR camera out there?" What they sometimes fail to realize is that what is best for others may not be the best for them too. So if you're looking for the best digital SLR camera, perhaps the right question to ask is, "which SLR camera would best suit my needs, background, and preferences?" You may buy the best SLR camera in terms of technology and features, but these wouldn't be of any use to you if you don't even know the basics of SLR photography.

Many say that comparing different digital SLR cameras is like comparing all the apples in a bunch. They all look pretty much the same from the outside, and they have the same characteristics. So how do you choose which among them suits you the best?

One way of finding the best digital SLR camera for you is by doing a quick self-assessment regarding your photography interests, styles, and habits. Let's do a quick rundown of the basic types of shots that people usually take using their digital SLR cameras.

Landscapes

Landscape shots capture the beauty of nature. This means that if you're into landscape photography, the best digital SLR camera for you would be one that has settings and features that are optimal for outdoor conditions. There are some dSLRs that can capture nature's beauty in detail, while some are better suited for indoor or portrait shots. You should go for the former if you're into landscape photography.

Travel and the Outdoors

If you're a frequent traveller and cannot go to different places without bringing your camera alone, it's important that you choose a camera that's light and easy to carry around. Of course your camera should also be able to adapt to various weather and outdoor conditions, but it's also equally important that your camera is small and light so you can bring it with you when you go hiking, mountain climbing, etc.

Sports and Action

If you're a fan of action shots or spontaneous photographs, one essential element of SLR cameras that you should look into is the shooting speed. Kids and pets will rarely pause for a photo, so it's important that your camera can capture the quick and spontaneous movements of your subjects. This also applies to those who like taking pictures of athletes in action.

Indoor or Studio

For those who use their SLRs for studio or indoor shots, size and weight may not be the most important thing to consider in buying a digital SLR camera. If you're planning on going into professional studio photography, however, you should probably go for a camera that has the latest features and technology to ensure top-notch quality photos.
