My Personal SLR Camera Review Opinions

If you take a look online, you will find a lot of guides on choosing a digital SLR camera, and I know what most of them say. Even though you can learn a lot about the technology behind digital SLR cameras, it can still be very hard choosing the perfect SLR camera for a beginner. The guides you read here are exactly what you need to accomplish just that. When you read these guides, you should be able to understand what you need to look for without too much technical abilities. All the guides posted here are founded on a few basic principles.

1. You're not a technical person.

All the digital SLR camera reviews I create for this site are done in such a way that even someone without technical knowledge can understand them perfectly, which is a must if you're an amateur looking to buy a digital SLR camera. You will find no deep musings on things that don't matter for you, no graphs and no charts.

The guide will actually be about a story, not a technical manual. You will learn from me what my own experience was with that camera, how well it takes photos when you use it in the real world. You will also read about any tips I might have for you about using that model.

You will learn from all the digital SLR camera reviews how they operate in the real world for normal photography. They will not be about taking photos of models that have lights on them, it will be about taking photos of real subjects.

2. I'm not biased

What do I mean by that?

I don't work for a digital camera company. I just another electronics gadget consumer that has an opinion to express.

What I'm trying to say is that the reviews I write contain only my own personal opinions on the SLR cameras that I test. There is no bias towards a certain manufacturer or camera model, only the truth.

On this site, cameras get the ratings I think they deserve, so the number of cameras with perfect ratings will be very low. If I would give all the cameras the best ratings, that will not help you when choosing a digital SLR.

By following the advice I will give you in my digital SLR camera reviews, you can be sure that what you buy will actually help you when taking photos in the real world.

Sony Alpha A200K was introduced by the company as an upgrade to the previous Sony Alpha 100. The upgrade attributes are clearly visible the moment you compare the two cameras as the new model is much faster, proffers improved noise control and has an LCD screen of 2.7 inches; which is slightly bigger than the Alpha 100.

Some of the good features of the previous model are integrated in this digital camera which encompasses dust control system, manual controls and megapixel CCD. This camera supports both type I and II compact flash cards but you have to buy them separately. Battery life of this camera is truly outstanding. You get to know about the remaining battery life all thanks to the on screen display. You will get faster auto focus speed as compared to the Alpha 100. It's not regarded as one of the top digital SLR cameras just like that.

Not only this digital camera can work with different kind of lenses but can be operated with a lot of other accessories. You can make use of an external flash to enhance flash power. Battery grips, Liquid crystal display protection covers and angle finders are some other accessories which this product supports. Now I know why this camera is amongst the best selling digital SLR cameras.

This digital camera without doubt offers commendable competition to other entry level cameras as it provides fantastic ergonomics and lots of helpful exposure alternatives. Photos created by this digital camera will be definitely of excellent quality mainly because of steady shot image stabilization system. This system notices any type of shakes when one is clicking images and automatically shifts the sensor for countering the shaky motion and that's the reason this product falls in the category of top 10 digital SLR cameras.

One can easily review photos on this digital camera since its LCD screen comes with 230,400 pixels. You get plenty of white balance options with this product. The function menu of this camera is very simple to use.

The improved features of Sony Alpha A200K make it the best digital SLR camera. It's ideal for both novice and pro photographers. This camera proffers some incredible options for improvising your digital experience. If you are looking out for an entry level digital camera then this product is something you should look into.

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.
