    CLEVER WAYS TO GET STARTED

    CLEVER IDEA: IDENTIFY YOUR CAMERA IN THE ID PARADE

    Cameras today come in a broad range of shapes and sizes, with a feature set that ranges from basic to incredibly sophisticated. What clever things can your camera do? That’s something of a loaded question and can very much depend on what sort of camera you have. Take a look at this ID parade of common cameras and identify where yours fits into it to get an idea of what is possible with your device.

    Camera phones

    Camera features built into a mobile or cell phone.

    Ideal if…

    You want a single device for both phone calls and photos

    You tend to shoot in daylight or brightly lit conditions

    Not so good if…

    You require high-quality photos

    You need some control over your photos

    You shoot lots of photos in dim light conditions

    Compacts

    Cameras that are small and pocketable.

    Ideal if…

    You want a carry-everywhere camera

    Most of your photos are shot in ‘normal’ lighting conditions

    You want to shoot great photos on a limited budget

    Not so good if…

    You need the best quality images

    You want maximum control of your photography

    You shoot photos in difficult or unusual lighting conditions

    Large compacts and super zoom cameras

    Beefed-up compacts with more control features and enhanced zoom lenses.

    Ideal if…

    You want more control

    You still need a (moderately) compact camera

    You require better results than a simple compact can offer

    Not so good if…

    You want a small camera to fit in a pocket or purse

    You need an accurate viewfinder view

    Bridge / hybrid cameras

    These form the missing link between compacts and professional SLR cameras.

    Ideal if…

    Compact size is not so important

    You don’t mind an all-in-one solution

    You’re not likely to want interchangeable lenses

    You want a better spec than a compact can offer

    Not so good if…

    You want the highest resolution of images

    You want to shoot subjects that need specialist lenses

    Mirrorless dSLRs

    Interchangeable lens cameras with larger sensors.

    Ideal if…

    You want the control and flexibility of a digital SLR

    You want to shoot in a wide range of situations

    You need more than one lens to shoot in those situations

    You want a moderately compact solution

    Not so good if…

    You need an extensive range of accessories

    You are on a limited budget

    Digital SLRs

    Top specification cameras for enthusiasts and pros.

    Ideal if…

    You want the ultimate in control

    You want to shoot in a wide range of situations

    You need more than one lens to shoot in those situations

    Size and weight are not an issue for you

    Not so good if…

    You want to shoot discretely

    You want to travel light

    You are on a limited budget

    Lomo and Holga cameras

    Bizarrely poor quality cameras that deliver unpredictable results.

    Ideal if…

    You put fun above reality

    You want unpredictable results

    You don’t mind using film rather than digital

    Not so good if…

    You require accuracy in your photos

    Special cameras

    Designed for specialized use, although often suitable for more general applications too; the more popular types include 3D/stereo models and panoramic cameras.

    Ideal if…

    You are an enthusiast of 3D or panoramic
