INTRODUCTION TO 8 DIGITAL CAMERAS Digital Imaging—a primer for the uninitiated Digital imaging is exploding. It seems everybody is doing it. And you think you want to get into it. Fine, but where do you start? What equipment do you need? No problem. But before we get to that, let us begin with a little background information so you’ll have a better understand of what digital imaging is. Until about five years ago imaging was an analog affair.
D I G I TA L I M A G I N G THE BASICS 35mm vs. DIGITAL Taking photos costs money. The more you take the more it costs. You have to buy film then pay to develop it. If you don’t pay you can’t see your pictures. Taking photos are free. You basically buy your memory storage once (memory card) and can keep reusing it after you have downloaded your photos to your computer. You must be patient and wait. You can not see your photos until you get them back from the developer.
D I G I TA L C A M E R A S THE BASICS 10 DIGITAL CAMERAS Choosing a Digital Camera—What You Need to Know Choosing a digital camera doesn’t have to be difficult. You just need to understand what you'll be using the camera for and then learn the basics about what makes these incredible image making tools “click”. After spending a few minutes on these pages you should be able to wade through the maze of choices and make an informed decision.
D I G I TA L C A M E R A S THE BASICS LCD Monitors ISO Equivalents Storage Capacity Burst Rate Burst rate is important in sports or fashion photography where a fast recycle time is essential. Since a digital camera has to actually write an image file every time you take a picture, you usually have between 3-5 seconds of dead time between shots. Higher-end cameras overcome this problem to a certain degree by adding RAM to the camera which acts as a buffer.
