Digital Photography

<

Digital cameras are the latest innovation in a photographic tradition stretching back over 150 years. In recent years, digital photography has become the preferred method chosen by for both professional and amateur photographers. Today’s digital cameras come in a variety of forms, from point-and-shoot to the more advanced for photographers who wish to select their own settings.

When selecting your camera it is important to consider the following:
1. Note the number of pixels the photo files contain. This will determine how clear the details in your pictures will be. A higher number of pixels will give you a clearer picture.
2. They usually come with internal memory. However, purchasing and using memory cards will give you unlimited storage capabilities. I always have a spare card with me because you never know when those “Kodak moments” will occur.
3. It is also important to assess the battery usage. You can buy batteries when you need them; but I have chargeable batteries and a charger. I always keep my spare battery charged and in my camera case.
4. You can transfer your pictures to your computer or print from a printer dock. There are various ways to transfer your pictures to your computer. I usually connect my camera directly to a USB port or simply insert my memory card into my Smart Media Card Reader.

Five years ago I bought my first digital camera, a Kodak EasyShare DX6440, when our son was having a baby. He lived six hours away, so I wanted lots of pictures. It was great and I even took short videos which we treasure. A couple of years later when our daughter, who lives next door had her son, she wanted to borrow the camera. Well, you know where the camera stayed after that. When we were going on a vacation to New York City, I couldn’t take the camera away from her. She might miss some really great pictures! So we purchased our next camera, a Kodak EasyShare Z740. The DX6440 had 4 MegaPixels and the Z740 had 5. I took over 1200 pictures and videos on our trip. I truly love the camera. We have since given the Z740 to our other daughter and purchased our third digital camera, a Kodak EasyShare Z12 IS (7.1 MegaPixels). We took this camera on a trip to Hawaii. This time I took over 1700 pictures and videos.

These cameras are easy to use. With the view screen you can see instantly if you have a good picture or not. Gone are the days when you took several and had to wait to have them developed just to discover you moved or someone blinked their eyes and you don’t have a good picture. Look what you can do! You can take really closeups of flowers. You can take distant pictures then try and crop them to get closer views, or you can zoom in on the item you want. The Z712 has a panoramic option and the views are wonderful.

These are just a few examples of the quality of pictures you can take today with one of the many digital cameras available. I encourage you to get started and have fun.
