Your Monday Morning Photo Tip

What is “wide angle” view? Wide angle encompasses what you see from left to far right in one picture frame. This is called a field of view and is measured in degrees (your eyes normally have a field of view of almost 180 degrees). The wide field of view also applies from top to bottom. Great for landscapes.

Your Zoom Lens

Most point and shoot cameras come with one zoom lens that covers a focal range from somewhat wide angle to telephoto.

Zoom lenses come in two varieties: optical and digital. Without going into great detail, suffice it to say that you should avoid digital zoom at all costs. Digital zoom uses software tricks to “enhance” the image. The result is often unsatisfactory. Insist on optical zoom.

Buying a new camera? 
With so many choices, buying a camera can be confusing. Fortunately, almost all digital cameras can be readily grouped by the intended audience for which they were created by the manufacturer: Basic Point & Shoot, Mid Range Point-and-Shoot Cameras, Advanced Compact Cameras, Subcompact Cameras, Super Zoom Cameras, and finally SLR Cameras. Keep in mind your photographic style and preferences as you evaluate the features. You’ll need a clear set of priorities to steer you effectively to a decision.
