Condiji, glance without a mirror, and single-lens reflection are different from the types of digital cameras that cannot be heard now. @ DIME Artedim

Although it is a digital camera, but there are also small digital cameras, mirrorless monocular, single-lens reflection and so on, each has its own advantages. In this article, we will introduce the main types and characteristics of digital cameras.

What's the difference between each camera? The main types of digital cameras

The main types of digital cameras are "small digital cameras (Compact digital cameras)", "mirrorless monocular cameras" and "SLR cameras". These can be divided into structural differences such as "can you change lenses" and "with or without mirrors".

Digital cameras can also be divided by sensor size.

Compact digital camera (hereinafter referred to as speaker) is a camera with integrated lens, small size and high portability. Although you can't change the lens, because there are many products that are better than smartphones, such as zoom and macro functions, it is recommended for people who want to take first-class photos easily.

Structurally, it is more difficult to take blurry pictures than mirrorless monocular or SLR lenses, but if you work on the shooting method or choose a model with a larger sensor size (later), even Kant can do a variety of shooting performances.

It used to be cheaper than single-lens reflectors and monoculars without mirrors, so when it comes to Condeji, it's easy to think of it as a camera for beginners, but now it's not. There are not only low-cost models, but also many high-end models, and Condiji has a rich lineup. Depending on the type of machine, you can also take no less than one-eye picture quality photos. In addition, it is also loved by high amateurs and professionals because of its portability and ease of use.

Mirrorless monocular or SLR lenses are called "lens-switched cameras", which achieve a wide range of shooting performance by changing lenses. It is very popular among people who want to shoot in a variety of scenes and those who want to challenge the colorful performance of the shoot. It is also recommended to people who want to take pictures of sports, wild birds, airplanes and so on.

The difference between a SLR camera and a monocular without a mirror lies in the presence or absence of a "mirror". This difference mainly affects the structure and the size of the camera body.

The single lens reflection adopts the "optical viewfinder (OVF)" structure with internal reflector. As shown in the image, the light passing through the lens is reflected by the mirror and enters the viewfinder through the prism. Therefore, when peeping at the viewfinder, the image captured by the camera can be seen with the naked eye. It is worth mentioning that the "Reflex" of a DSLR refers to "reflection", the reflection of light.

Mirrorless monocular without reflector can be smaller and lighter than SLR. There are also models that do not have a viewfinder, and there are also models that use an "electronic viewfinder (EVF)" that reflects a liquid crystal picture in the viewfinder.

Because it is "small and lightweight" and "can carry out rich and colorful photographic performance", it can also be said to have the advantages of both Contige and DSLR. On the other hand, in order to achieve miniaturization, there are also models with smaller batteries, and even electronic viewfinders consume power, so the batteries will be reduced very quickly.

The digital camera has built-in components of "image sensor (imaging element)", which can also be separated according to the size of the sensor. In other words, there are not only APS-C-sized Contiji and DSLRs, but also full-size mirrorless DSLRs and DSLRs.

An image sensor is a component that converts light entering from the lens into an electrical signal, thus affecting the "viewing angle", "picture quality (grayscale or dark performance),"blur" and so on. For more information, see the following article.

Even today, when digital cameras become mainstream, film cameras have a deep-rooted popularity. Roughly speaking, film cameras and digital cameras have different mechanisms and media for recording photos.

The film camera uses "film", which uses the chemical reaction of the photosensitive agent to record the image. On the other hand, a digital camera converts light into an electrical signal through an image sensor (imaging element), and then records the processed data in the camera to a medium (medium) such as a memory card.

You can confirm the photos taken on the spot, and it is also convenient for digital cameras to take hundreds of pictures, but the time spent on film work, I don't know what kind of photos have been taken before developing, and the unique feel that only film has. Film cameras are also full of charm that digital cameras do not have. There are no pros and cons, and everyone has a reason to be loved.

For those who want to easily enjoy the charm of film cameras, be sure to use Fuji film "instax" and "photos".

Different kinds! A digital camera recommended for beginners

Finally, I would like to introduce you to the first recommended digital camera.

When choosing a digital camera, we should not only check the type of camera, sensor size, main body size, weight, price, design and other key points, but also check whether mobile phone transmission can be carried out.

Many digital cameras launched in recent years can transmit images to smartphones and tablets through Wi-Fi. If you can forward the photos to your phone / tablet right away, you can easily send them to friends or upload them to social networking sites.

If the camera is chosen on the basis of price, the older generation of model can also be chosen. Compared with the latest models, the features and specifications are likely to be worse, but they should be cheaper accordingly. On the other hand, considering the long-term use, it is also possible to buy the latest model with a better price-performance ratio. In the case of attaching importance to the price, it is judged not only by the amount of money, but also by comprehensive judgment such as functions.

Condiji recommends Ricoh "GR III" as a representative of high-end models.

Professional photographers also like high-standard products, equipped with a hand jitter correction mechanism, when you want to shoot immediately can be used and convenient, beginners also rest assured. It would be nice to be proficient in using a variety of functions while making progress. Although it is high performance, the size in the pocket is very attractive.

Hand jitter correction and useful "real-time pupil AF" for photography of people and animals, etc., support full functions of photography. It also supports high-resolution 4K video.
