The Sony Alpha NEX-5 is 48% smaller and 49% lighter than traditional compact DSLRs! While the camera is physically smaller than a compact DSLR, it retains the imaging qualities of an APS imaging sensor, which contains 58% more surface area than a Four Thirds imaging sensor, and about 13 times the surface area of point-and-shoot imaging sensors. The end result is true pro-quality resolving power in a far smaller package. The NEX-5 is designed to use Sony E-series lenses, a compact line of optics designed to work with the reduced flange distance that resulted from the removal of the reflex viewing system. The new E-series optics are smaller than Sony's traditional DSLR optics while retaining the imaging qualities Sony is recognized for. In addition to Sony E-series optics, you can also use any of Sony's traditional DSLR lenses on the NEX-5 by using the optional LA-EA1 lens adapter
This Lens helps to deliver clear images in low lighting situations due to its fast f/2.8 maximum aperture. This 16mm (24mm in 35mm equivalent) wide-angle lens provides an 83° angle of view and a minimum focusing distance of 9.4". This versatile lens provides coverage for a broad range of photo subjects including, but by no means limited to, landscapes, portraits, close-ups, and nature.
Question : What is the best digital SLR camera for a beginner ?
I don't know anything about professional photography, and I need a reasonable priced digital SLR to practice with. What do you suggest?
Answer:
Pick a well known brand (Nikon or Canon) as the additional equipment and lenses will transfer when you upgrade the camera as you become more experienced.Choose an entry level model that is in your price range. Don't think by spending more now, you will have a head start. Camera models and features expand at a greater rate than your pocket book. What you want is to learn the basics and familiarize yourself with the fundamentals of imaging. Remember the greatest photographers in the world took pictures with basic equipment and did not rely on sophisticated features. By remembering that, you won't get sold into economic disaster and become overwhelmed by advancements that apply in limited circumstances.
Question : Do you know of a digital slr camera that can attach old lens from non digital slr camera?
I know generally the camera has to be of the same brand; ie. Canon lens for a Canon camera. I was just wondering does anybody know of a digital slr camera that can do this. If not, maybe you can tell me which camera you have and if it is good or not.Thanks alot.
Answer:
All Pentax DSLRs can use any pentax lens EVER made.Also the IS thing the guy below mentioned. However, keep in mind that old Pentax lenses were made for 35mm SLRs, the equivalent to full frame cameras today. Pentax doesn't have full frame cameras yet, so images'll be cropped.
Question : What digital slr camera should I buy for magazine photography? I am not a professional photographer?
My partner and I have set up a local community magazine, we have been using a point and shoot digital camera, but feel that we now need to upgrade to a slr. We have no professional training in photography, so have limited knowlege on the subject. I have searched the internet for different reviews, but just seem to drown in information. Please can someone offer advice, please!!!!!
Answer:
any entry point DSLR will be good enough. Something like the Nikon D40 or the Canon Digital Rebel XT/350D is perfect for a starter like you. They're pretty affordable (compared to other DSLRs that is) and it works just like any other DSLR so if you upgrade your camera to another DSLR in the future you won't find yourself in a hard time adapting yourself to a new camera.The hardest thing to pick is not the camera - it's the lens - some lenses are specialized and there's one made for specific task, and it won't work well if you use it for another task. But at this point - if all you do is taking picture of people, I think the kit lens that comes with the two camera I mentioned above is good enough. Finally I highly recommend a photography class for you - a DSLR is a pretty complex piece of equipment (well there's an auto mode but you won't be utilizing a DSLR's potential if you're using auto and at that point you'd better off with a point and shoot anyway) and you will appreciate what you have to learn in the photography class.Well, I hope this helps.
Question : How to get lomography effects with a regular digital SLR camera?
I am beginning to get interested in lomography, and I was wondering if I could do it with a regular camera. (I have a digital SLR, will that work?) All the photos of lomography I have seen seems as if they have extremely high contrast, and deepened depths of field. Is there a way to not buy a lomography camera and get the same results? Im getting back into photography after a long break and am really rusty! Thanks to anyone who answers!
Answer:
Some of the high contrast and crazy colors is because the film was cross-processed. That means color print film developed in the "wrong" chemicals like for slide processing.Lomography (derived from the LOMO company name) is a marketing thing to re-spin photography in a counterculture way (like it wasn't done enough in the 1980's, you can see some examples from photo magazines of that period.)(Chemical based photography is 100 years old, so people have been trying it chemically "wrong" occasionally).Kind of like saying "Nikon-ography or Canon-ography".Deep depth of field comes from lomographic cameras having f/8 or f/11 as their only apertures (with deep DOF) and the lenses may tend towards wide angle, (more deep DOF).Lomographic cameras are also based on cheap cameras from the 1960's with plastic lenses. So the clarity, and focus, and contrast of the best special glass (and best special lens coatings) are not in the picture.You can also use different colored filters in front of the lens, and put vaseline or plastic on a clear filter to get the hazy or dreamlike effect (also use f/8 or f/11 with a wide or fish-eye lens). And also shoot from odd angles.Once the image is digital from DSLR, then you can use Photoshop or GIMP and manipulate the colors, the contrast, clarity, and the focus, and cut/paste sprocket holes or frame numbers. Then call it "GIMP-ography"
Question : What digital SLR camera would you recommend for a beginner?
I am 15 and have never photographed professionally before (apart form my 2.0 mega pixel phone camera) but I really want to startI would like a Digital SLR camera but my budget is only £140 - I wouldn't mind getting it second hand but you never know on the internet whether sources are trustworthy. Ideally the camera should be small and lightweight (and not too breakable!!) It doesn't even need to be SLR but I would like it to be good qualityWhat would you recommend?
Answer:
If you are just starting out and want to learn about photographic techniques there's no real benefit in jumping into DSLRs straight away...........unless someone offers you a real bargain.I would suggest you get some experience with a compact camera that has manual controls - aperture priority, shutter priority and fully manual. This will help you understand the importance of aperture, shutter speed etc. but you'll also be able to experiment with white balance ISO sensitivity and other variables.There aren't too many compacts that have fully manual controls but a delve into a variety of camera websites such as Steve's Digicams, DP Review and Cameralabs should provide you with some likely candidates.With your budget you might struggle to get the latest and greatest models but shop around. I picked up a Canon Powershot SX120 IS for just a little bit more than your budget which is a pretty new camera and has full manual options plus a 10x zoom and image stabilisation. I use it as a "take anywhere" camera and as a backup for my Nikon DSLR.
Question : Do all digital SLR cameras allow you to blur the background of a photo? What about shutter delay?
I know w/film SLR cameras you can blur the background; can you do the same w/all digital SLR cameras?Also do all digital SLR cameras allow you to take photos w/out a delay in the shutter?THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Answer:
Blur the background.. you're talking about depth of field? Yes, you should be able to do that with any digital slr; keep in mind though, if you are using autofocus, the camera is going to try to determine itself what you are trying to focus on. Switch to manual focusing and you can focus strictly on foreground objects, which should become blurred. The farther back they are, the more intense the blur. Different lenses will also affect this.As for the no delay in shutter speed, what do you mean exactly? That when you press the shutter button, the camera takes the picture instantaneously without having to think first? You just need to make sure the camera doesn't have any thinking to do before taking the picture - hold the shutter button in halfway to allow it to autofocus, then press fully when ready, OR switch to manual mode.
Question : Digital SLR?
I'm going to be looking for a digital SLR soon. Price is not a concern (within reason of coarse).What are some good recommendations? I would prefer to stay away from Nikon (I really don't like them), and I learn more towards Canon.As of now I have a Canon Powershot S3 IS. If I buy lenses for it, will I also be able to use them on a new Canon SLR?
Answer:
It's perfectly all right if you don't like Nikon - I think Nikon made a pretty good camera but I think since you have already in the Canon camp, might as well as stick in it. Well, you probably won't be able to port your existing camera's accessories to your DSLR when you finally get one, but the user interface will be very much similar from the S3 IS to the DSLR so I'm pretty sure you'll adapt pretty easily.Don't worry about add ons/accessories. There are actually more accessories for Canon than there is for Nikon. Not by far of course because they are both pretty popular.The S3 IS is not an SLR and if you buy an add on for the S3 IS, you won't be able to use them into any Canon SLR. Now the camera itself. I have the Canon XTi and I liked it pretty much. It does everything I want it to do, and it produces good images. The only thing I hated about it is that itty bitty tiny grip that made an otherwise good camera felt like a toy.I'm in the process of saving up on getting the new 40D - after I replace my kit lens that is - and since I have tried it on a camera shop before, I know that the 40D is a pretty awesome camera.Although a little bit outdated (and replaced by the 40D), the 30D is still a very good camera and you also want to look into it.My advice, go to a real camera store and try things for yourself. Just say the clerk that you want to try the camera first before buying. I'm sure he'll understand.
Question : what would be a good digital slr camera for a beginner?
I am interested in photography as a hobby and I am just a beginner. What would be a good digital slr camera to start out with? I don't want something too cheap but it doesn't have to be fancy either.
Answer:
OK here is my short answer. for digital I have a Nikon D40 and I love it. The D40 has a full manual mode, Flexible progam, aperature priority, shutter priority modes. These are the same modes on all DSLR. It also has several other programed modes for things like portrait, night, children etc. As a photographer improves and learnds to use metering better these additional modes seldom get used so they are usually found on the more amature cameras and seen as not needed on the professional cameras. I feel I have a fair amount of experience as a photographer and it performs well for me but I can give it to my 12 y/o grandson if set on program and he can get good usable pictures as well. His photography is improving as he is already learning to use many of the functions himself ( yes I'm a proud granpa) . I also would not get caught up in the megapixel hype and instead look at the entire sensor issue. Look at the article I linked below The D40 will do everything a beginner to intermediate photographer needs at a great price. It comes with an 18-55 lens. It will let you use any other money to buy more accessories. And by the time you outgrow it cameras will have advanced to the point that most of what is on the market now would be obsolete. I bought a D300 last year and only had a it a few months when the D700 came out. The canon would also serve you well but I am a Nikon person so I suggest them. I have friends that are very happy with thier canon's and take great photos. You will have others that like Pentax and Olympus and they are not bad cameras but if they were in the same ballpark you would see many more professional photographers use them
Question : What is the best digital SLR camera on the market at the moment in this price range?
I'm planning to spend between £450-£600 on a digital SLR camera sometime soon and I was wondering what the best one out there is at the moment.Preferably I'd like opinions from people who have actually had experience with cameras in general...I'd be interested to hear about noise handling in particular.
Answer:
There is no camera that is better than another in the price range. If you stick with brand names that you are familiar with, they will all be equally good. I would suggest that you look at Pentax, Olympus, Sony, Canon and Nikon and then look for the best "kit" of package deal on the unit you choose. I think you can find an excellent camera for that price and walk off with enough cash to do something else with it.
Question : Can anyone advised what's the best digital slr camera should i choose for a beginner like me?
I'm starting to love photography. I have a Fuji S7000 and a Canon ixus70. Been taking photos for relatives and friends in weddings, birthday parties and families outdoor activities such as BBQ parties for the last 2 years. Thought of getting myself a digital slr camera to explore more on best photography.
Answer:
If you aren't invested in lenses for an SLR then I suggest looking seriously at the Sony A100 and Pentax K100D Super.The A100 is 10mp, has Super Anti-Shake in the camera body, has dust removal for the sensor and accepts every Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985. It also accepts many of the Maxxum accessories.The K100D Super is 6.1mp, has Image Stabilization (IS) in the camera body, has dust removal for the sensor, and you can use every K-mount lens made since 1975. Of course the older lenses will be manual focus but they will have the benefit of IS.Since the introduction of the Sony A700 and Pentax K10D the A100 & K100D Super should be dropping in price. However, careful shopping might find the K10D and A700 available for a reasonable price.
