Selecting the correct camera for you

There are actually two types of cameras that you can choose. It all depends on how new you want to be or how traditional you want to remain. Currently, the choices range from purchasing a manual camera or of the slew of hi-tech digital cameras.
To make it easier for you, the following are tips to help you choose the best digital camera as well as the perfect manual camera for you.

If you want to buy a manual camera, first determine if you would like photography to be a hobby that is serious or simply a past- time.
If you're really serious, it is best that you choose a camera that is an SLR or specifically a Single Lens Reflex camera. The difference between a SLR camera and an average point & shoot one is that the former allows the photographer to adjust the aperture as well as the cameras shutter speed. Though the pictures may be a bit difficult to take, it is more fulfilling to do so if you have the patience for it as it allows you the opportunity to create the pictures you want. A point and shoot camera meanwhile simply just takes pictures as is and that may be what you want.
