Want to buy a digital camera, mainly depends on its functions and advantages, that is, what kind of camera is good?

Four basic principles of buying machines

● For ordinary home users, if they are limited to family entertainment, they pay great attention to practicality. Powerful functions and high cost performance brought by durability are the first choice factors. At present, the dominant 3-megapixel and 5-megapixel models in the market can meet the imaging requirements. A variety of shooting modes, a wide range of ISO values and high-speed and accurate focusing are necessary functional characteristics, and a metal shell that ensures durability is also an essential consideration.

● For consumers who pursue fashion avant-garde, the close combination of shape design and prominent function is the first choice standard. Small shape, bright colors and comfortable hand feel are essential, and some highlight functions, such as macro shooting, are icing on the cake for this kind of products.

● If you are a professional user, the most important thing is the ultimate pursuit of imaging quality. Manual operation function is necessary. Replaceable lens, CMOS image sensor with more than 6 million pixels and various image recording modes are the guarantee of high image quality. If we have an explosion of less than ten thousand yuan, more professional photographers will flock to us.

● The last thing to consider is where to buy it. A regular digital camera sales counter will ensure that your camera is "born". Brand effect should be considered when purchasing, because it is the main guarantee for the overall quality and after-sales service of digital cameras.

Third, the preparation steps for buying a camera

Step 1: Make clear the purpose and purpose of buying the camera.

It is very important to determine the purpose and purpose of buying a camera. Only by knowing your own needs can you choose to buy the machine you really need through mergers and acquisitions. Otherwise, you may spend a lot of money on the camera, and it turns out that the functions can't meet your own requirements, or there are too many functions to use at all. We can think about what we buy digital cameras for. For example, some friends buy digital cameras to travel; Some friends want to learn photography; Some friends want to take macro photos; Of course, some people want to take close-ups or take pictures of their newborn children as a souvenir. In short, we must clearly understand consumption.

The output of photos also needs to be considered in advance, whether it is necessary to develop large photos or just watch them on the screen. Through this consideration, we can decide how many pixels are needed to buy a machine. If you just look at it from the screen, then a 3 megapixel machine is enough. If we want to print, and print to more than 10 inch, then we need to buy a camera with pixels as high as possible.

Step 2: Decide the psychological price.

After deciding the purpose and use of buying a camera, you should decide an affordable psychological price according to your own economic ability, such as 3000 ~ 4000 yuan or 6000 ~ 7000 yuan. This can help us save a lot of time and be more purposeful when choosing. DC is still a luxury, so everyone must do his best. There is no point in comparing with others, just enough.

Step 3: Collect information through various channels.

Early data collection is very important, which can give us a certain understanding of the machine to be purchased. There are many ways to collect product information. First of all, many manufacturers will have certain publicity pictorial when they launch digital cameras. We can go to the vendor and have a look. Secondly, media advertising is also a very important way. There are many advertisements for digital cameras in IT newspapers now, so we should pay attention to them. Thirdly, many digital magazines or some newspapers now have a certain space to introduce or evaluate digital cameras, and we can also buy some to read.

If possible, you can download the manual of the corresponding camera and have a look. This is very good for buying a machine: on the one hand, it can make you more familiar with the machine, on the other hand, it can make you ready for basic operation when buying a machine. I like reading instructions myself.

Technical data can let us know the appearance, function and other information of digital cameras. We should look at the actual photos. In this way, you can know the characteristics of DC you are concerned about, such as color, image quality and so on. We can go to the digital photography website to learn about this.

Step 4: roughly determine the model.

The collection of product information is very important, which allows us to fully understand the characteristics of digital cameras. But just looking at these materials, we can only have a perceptual understanding. Only by actually looking at the machine or even trying it out can we have a rational understanding of the machine. This requires us to go to the mall. We can look at the samples in the window or counter. The real machine may look different from the photo, or it may look better. We can also watch others buy machines and listen to what others say. Of course, we can also let the merchants take out the machine, actually touch it and operate it. Depending on the machine, you should also ask the price. When asking about the price, you should pay attention to the fact that the quotation of the merchant usually leaves room for counter-offer. Also, ask them if the price they quoted is licensed or parallel.

Step 5: Choose the right time to buy.

After deciding to buy the machine, we should choose "auspicious day" to buy DC back. When I say "auspicious day", I actually want to seize the opportunity myself. The price of digital products changes rapidly, so it is very important to judge the market. However, obviously, you should avoid buying before the festival as much as possible. There must be a lot of people buying machines before the holiday, and the price will not be cheap.

Sony T series products are recommended, with carl zeiss lens, ultra-thin, large LCD card machine, high light transmittance, fast photosensitive speed, high pixels, realistic color reproduction and fine particles. This model is small and exquisite, diversified and automatic in taking photos, simple in operation, convenient to carry and moderate in price, and suitable for home use.
