DIGITAL CAMERA ADVICE
With countless guides out there, digital camera buyers still tend to make the same mistakes over and over. Below, these mistakes and solutions to them are explained.One of the most common mistakes that buyers make is buying the camera prior to even trying it. They read reviews and comparisons and then feel like this camera must be the best. So without even testing it out, they buy it. This is a big mistake. It is important to try the camera out at a local electronics store. See how it feels when you hold it. Is it comfortable for you? Put yourself in a situation where you are taking photos. Can you see yourself using this camera for all of your photo taking needs? If not, move onto to another camera. Repeat this process until you find the right one for you.Right behind the most common mistake is this; buyers tend to always look for the most expensive camera.

A MEMORY IS A TERRIBLE THING TO LOSE
Digital photography has made shooting wedding easy. That is what many so called "professional" photographers believe. The out of work accountant; the passionate amateur; the housewife looking to make a few bucks on the weekend: All of these people are now entering the ranks of wedding photographers.

A person who depends on the good word of mouth generated by satisfied clients to stay in business.It is a person who has strong vendor ties with wedding professionals other than photographers.

WHY CANON IS A BETTER PRO CAMERA SYSTEM THAN NIKON
L-series Lens LineI went to the Learnfest Photography Workshop for portrait photographers September 09 and most of the photographers were running around with a Nikon system. This peaked my curiosity.I had never really handled a Nikon before. When I was going to school at the International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa, FL for my Digital Photography Degree, everyone had Canons. Canon was able to uplink to the Capture One processing program, and was recommended by all the staff (who are photographers current in their field). There was a student here and there with Nikon, but generally it was considered the bad apple and none of us Canon users went near them.I was fascinated to see the amount of Nikon users at the workshop. I grabbed a Nikon from a photographer I had befriended during the workshop thus far. I have to admit I was bedazzled by the giant screen on the back. I'm using an older version on the Canon Mark series with a comparatively microscopic screen. When handling this I experienced the same giddiness of when I handled the newer Canon Mark series camera. Overall controls and handling were similar and some functions were a bit harder ... [more..]
