More and more people experiencing a growing curiosity in photography, after some time "fiddling" with his compact, or even your phone. At one point, wonder if a good idea to buy a DSLR to go further, because it seems clear that these cameras are "good" (and not the rest). I will discuss five common reasons why many people believe in taking a camera DSLR and no other, and the alternatives in each case. Earlier my colleague Santiago Diaz argued some of the reasons that may lead you to say you do not need an SLR . The market is vast and there are options for all tastes. The important thing is to choose depending on your profile and your budget. I will discuss five common reasons why many people think rather be with a camera DSLR and no other.
A few weeks ago heriguerrero13 we raised the question of whether you really need an SLR , specifically his girlfriend was concerned.
Obviously all this will end in 'tastes and preferences' and do not pretend you are all in agreement. But hopefully open discussion help you to look at a DSLR or more criteria when making a purchase and that is what you need to buy some truly.
Five reasons to say YES
I will discuss five examples of reasons why we might do specifically choose a DSLR over other possibilities and what alternatives would:
¿ Stability and alternative system of interchangeable lenses for SLR? It is a further advantage. Almost all frames of all brands are now veterans and spent years on the market. In many cases we can use many goals years ago from an old analogue SLR and use it in digital. The flea market is vast and there are good opportunities. On the Bridge type / ultrazoom and classical compact is a clear advantage. Some tell me that in the CSC also (obviously compact or bridge that can not). You can do in the CSC , but with adapters and missing some features such as metering or autofocus, these issues that not everyone wants to sacrifice. In my opinion the price of new targets for systems CSC are still expensive compared to the offer to SLR. Although still manufacturers like Sigma or Tamron or Tokina have not been heavily involved in the subject matter that could lower the market.
Is the speed of approach and greater immediacy in the shot ? Undoubtedly, SLRs are still far superior in this aspect and will remain so it seems even a little longer. Approach speed continues to lose contrast versus speed approach phase detection. Although there are some cameras with higher gust current SLR shutter lag is much lower (at large) in the reflex.
¿ optical viewfinder ? Of course. Where there is an optical viewfinder to remove any other type of display. So far, none of the electronic viewfinders the market is able to approach even the sensation of looking through the viewfinder of an SLR. I've already tried quite a few viewers and none comes close to an optical viewfinder. This results in you can compose in a more comfortable and pleasant from an optical viewfinder.
Why your ability to get a higher yield to the sensors ? True, they begin to mount sensors "identical" in other different systems of SLR. But we can only make the comparison with respect to CSC for its approach in this regard over the past two years. And I dare say that only Sony (which acts as a supplier to other brands in this issue) seems to be making a real performance issue. Yet the differences are large. So far, only the Sony NEX -7 is there in the list of the top 20. Also, if you care about performance ISO the NEX drop to number 25, showing that even the SLR have cornered this. Of classical compact or talk.
¿ price and convenience ?: On the one hand, the price. Although we neared Santiago the CSC , micro4 / 3 or without a mirror as an alternative nearby, we note that even these systems still presented as a premium alternative (in my opinion) despite the best sellers. The entry-SLR from Canon, Nikon or Sony in many cases sufficient for someone who wants to start a cost much less than Fuji X100 or Sony NEX , even in their kits. In terms of comfort depends on what you need but in this case only the compact 'bolsilleras' win because the width is not much difference (Dimensions (W x H x D) of a Nikon D7000: 132 × 105 × 77mm, Sony NEX - 66.9 × 42.6 × 7:119,9 mm Canon S95: 99.8 × 58.4 × 29.5 mm).
Final Thoughts
A note aside, if I may, now that we have discussed the comfort: ergonomics . And I do think about my back problems. It may be something SLRs are heavier but more ergonomic and easier to grip / handle than any other current camera so the position for shooting. In the classical compact and CSC , fingers left over often, but not with the bridge.
On the other hand, from my experience, when shooting with a DSLR I think is more important posture to adopt . What I have noticed a lot of influences is to place the arms, legs and trunk. In this I think the reflex is usually better suited to this subject. Someone tell me and what if you put a 500mm (for example)? Then the set SLR + 500mm is more stable and balanced the set of all CSC + a telephoto similar. Besides the ability to add many a grip reflex models to improve both the duration of the autonomy of the camera as the stability of vertical shots is still an advantage.
As you can see is a matter of needs and times. When I take my Panasonic LX3 to know that I use and when I pick up the Nikon D7000 as well. I will not add anything except give you some advice that you choose elijáis what if you have manual modes, do not leave the camera in automatic mode. By this I tell you to profit to know all the possibilities of your camera. Please learn to use the other modes. Sure you enjoy and do much better pictures. Because remember that the gift is in the eye of the photographer.
