The New Age of Digital Camera Photography Digital cameras have come extremely far in the last decade. From the aspiring photographer to the professional, there is a camera to suit every need. Companies like Olympus, Sony, Polaroid, Fujifilm and more are constantly competing for consumer preference when it comes to digital cameras. With rechargeable batteries and camera to computer convenience, digital cameras are quickly becoming a must-have in the average consumer's household.
For the more rugged user, cameras like the Canon Powershot D10 provide water-proof, shock-proof and freeze-proof reliability in up to 12.1 megapixels. This particular camera can be submerged in water up to 33 feet, survive temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit and be dropped from a height of four feet. Hitting the market within the last two years, active outdoor enthusiasts have now reached a no-limits barrier when it comes to outdoor photography. More common are the water-proof only cameras such as the Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP. Offering up to 10 megapixel photographs, it can withstand depths up to 3 meters and has an easy grip shape as well as large and easy to use rubber buttons.
Ideal for users who value simplicity as well as quality, Point and Shoot digital cameras, such as the Nikon Coolpix and Fujifilm Finepix are focused towards the beginning or casual photographer. These digital cameras are light-weight yet sturdy and range from 8 to 20 megapixels. Point and Shoot cameras are well suited for any age due to ease of use and are able to be carried in a case or simply slipped into a pocket.
For the professional, companies such as Nikon, Canon and Sony compete for the top spot in the DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) category. These cameras are generally sold as a body kit, occasionally with one lens and a few accessories. Additional lenses are sold depending on the type of photography one is interested in. This includes the zoom lens, nikkor, macro, telephoto and wide angle lens.
Even more popular recently is the Canon Powershot series. These cameras offer close to DSLR quality in smaller form with an even smaller price. Still completely portable, only slightly larger than a point and shoot, the Powershots offer the same processor as is in their higher DSLR models. Even more important is the 20X zoom lens. The lens is not interchangeable, but is capable of a wide angle of 28mm and can zoom-in to 560mm.
Regardless of the brand or model, there is a digital camera for everyone from the Point and Shoot to the DSLR. Whatever the budget or the need, there is something for everyone in the New Age of Digital Camera Photography.
