What types (DSLR Camera, Point and Shot Digital Camera or Mirrorless Digital Camera) of cameras you want?

Have you ever thought about what kind of digital camera is good for you?   By and large, there are three types of camera you can consider, namely:
  1. Point and Shot digital camera
  2. Micro 4/3 digital Cameras (or Mirrorless camera)
  3. Digital Single Reflex Camera (DSLR camera)

Point and Shot Digital Camera 
In general point and shot digital camera is quite inexpensive now and small to carry.  If you only use it for posting to web or viewing with computer or printing 4R size picture, it may be your cup of tea.  Usually, this camera is not good for night shoot or using ISO higher than 200.  See Point and Shot Camera

Micro 4/3 Digital Camera and Mirrorless Digital Camera
Mirrorless camera pack a entry level  DSLR sensor (APSC) into a body smaller than digital single reflex camera.  Micro 4/3 is even smaller because it use a smaller sensor (60% of APSC) comparable to the frame size of 110 film. Micro 4/3 is a standard set by Kodak, Panasonic and Olympus.  If you want a better quality for picture that is acceptable using ISO 800 or even at ISO1600 depending on quality and size of the sensor, this kind of camera may be good for you. The micro 4/3 or mirrorless camera is still quite portable and can change different focal length lens.  See Mirrorless Camera.


Digital Single Reflex Camera (DSLR Camera)
If you want to become amateur pro or professional photographer, you may consider this type of bulky, heavy and lens interchangeable digital camera. DSLR camera may provide better picture quality and some of them can take pictures with ISO more than 3200 without noise.  See Affordable DSLR Camera.

In Short, as long as you had a brand name (i.e. Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus, Sony etc) digital camera which suits your purpose and budget, you would be able to take quite a good pictures. Though, in general a good picture depends on quality of the camera and skill of the photographer.  The most important is to use whatever camera you have now, follow you heart and go out to record what you seen and feel it with your camera.  Enjoy it and Cheers!
