2 years after using my compact canon ixus camera, came a breaking point... That time i was waiting for a new job... kinda bored at home without much to do. Happened to walk pass some camera shops in Sim Lim and Peninisula plaza. That's when i saw digital slr...
Wow, this camera looks cool ya! Like professional leh! If i can get one, how nice will it be? I was so amazed by the dslr, that i went home and did some research on it. I wondered to myself, are those photos that look sooo beautiful online taken by such camera? If i own one, i can get take those beautiful photos right? That was my thinking at that point....
For those who are keen in buying a dslr, i have the following advice for you:
- Is your compact no longer able to fulfil your photography needs?
- Do you mind lugging a bulkier camera with a couple of lens all the time?
- Dslr = $$$ to be spent. Are you willing to part with your $$$?
- Are you able to spend time reading up to improve on photography skills after a photo is taken?
If you hesitate in any of the points above, i suggest you take a step back to review. Using a dslr involves time, money and more importantly effort on an individual to achieve those stunning photos online. Once you master the art, the satisfaction is tremendous!
I got my first dslr Canon 350D sometime back in June 2004. Initial stage was really bad....all the controls appeared so new to me.... What is P, AV, TV modes? Huh ISO? What is aperture, shutter speed, exposure??? Probably i was spolit by my compact camera, just click and shoot. A dslr is more than that... In my next article, i will try to explain these common terms in simple words. So stay tuned!
