Why should i buy a system-,compact or a microfourthird camera
July 9th, 2010
In any forum a common question is asked. Which camera is the best? Just now there is still debating if a DSLR, compact or microfourthirds is the best for just this person. All depends what you want to do with your camera. I still learn and use the camera on my telephone to learn composition. We have the forum where you can learn more or find inspiration.
It is much easier to bring a compact camera than a DSLR, but if you want to learn more about photo and settings a micro4/3 is for you. As you notice i don´t discuss brand. If you go with the large brands any brand is good to go and will do much to you. The camera is just a tool to take pictures. Nothing more nothing less. Leave people starting discussing.
If you are into editing photos DSLR take much better picture and maybe you are even into Rawfiles. If you are more then interesting to learn about photo and photoediting. Raw-files is your second nature. You love to dive into editing and learn more. DSLR are for you.
If you simply want to take pictures and sort them maybe do them smaller or larger. Compact camera will do this for you and save the result as jpg. There are alot of them point and shoot that have good result. The experience i have tell me Olympus and Panasonic is much more into the jpg conversion and do a better job than Canon and Nikon, which do much better in the Raw-files area. There are some compacts that have a good way with settings but the are often limit by the lens and sensor.
I am both interested in photo my family and learning about photography then microfourthirds are perfect. The sensor that pick up light are slightly larger and you are able to take great pictures and photo the family. It will be a little slower than the DSLR so don´t expect the rate of shooting DSLR copes with. It will be a perfect street- and family camera. You are probably being able to take some movies too.
Today i took my micro4/3 for a spin and was out with its gorillapod shooting macro. I think it went rather well even though there was some problem.





Again Bibble have released som new software editing. This time they removed the multiplattform when you go Lite and they also cut down on some other stuff that is not as important if you are not Pro. They also added some new cameras supporting their format.
I passed the hardware store and bought a cheap LED flashlight only 29 SEK. I will definitely buy more LEDs as they are effective both in strength and power. It does not cost so much to play with light. I will play some of my new torch, and it slips easily into your pocket.
A ball head should be ample to secure properly if you have a little larger lens. I got only a quite small head for my Manfrotto tripod a
