How to choose a professional camera

Professional cameras - not for everyone. First, their price is often too high for an ordinary photographer. Secondly, the amateur will not understand the huge number of settings of the professional chamber. If you consider yourself to the category of professionals or are striving to become, then when choosing a high-quality camera should consider some characteristics.

First of all, pay attention to the camera matrix. As a rule, the quality of the pictures depends on it and its size. The size is higher, the greater the light on the matrix will fall, respectively, less noise in the image. In addition, the resolution of the matrix should be taken into account. This value speaks of the number of pixels, of which the matrix consists, and therefore, what kind of pixel size is. What he is less, the smaller the number of light falls on the pixel, it will give more noise. However, the large size of the pixel will also negatively affect the picture of the picture - it will look coarse-grained. And one more parameter of the matrix is \u200b\u200bISO (photosensitivity). The higher this value, the better the photos will turn out, even in conditions of bad lighting.

Professional camera has the size of the standard film frame matrix - 24x36 mm. Keep in mind that among professional devices there are devices with trimmed matrices.

The main characteristic of the photo leaf for a professional chamber - lights. It defines clarity, no distortion and sharpness of the image. Lens are long-focus and wide-angle. The first to remove the best objects that are removed for a long distance. The second is perfect for panoramic surveys. The diaphragm of the professional lens should operate in the range F 8-11. Pay attention to the firm-producer of the body of the camera and lens. It should be the same, otherwise the devices may not approach each other.

Professional camera from semi-professional and amateur "colleagues in the workshop" is also distinguished by an increased resource of the shutter. Pay attention to this value in the passport of the device when purchasing. Also, remember that the professional chamber has a high speed of the shutter. Such a camera is able to shoot an average of 8 frames per second.

An optical stabilizer is also an important element in a professional chamber. It allows you to avoid the "lubricant" of the pictures with the trembling of the hands of the photographer. Stabilization is two types: built into the lens and inside the camera. The second option is preferable because it allows using different optics.

When choosing a professional chamber, a manufacturer should also be taken into account. With a large margin from competitors in the field of professional photographic equipment, Canon and Nikon are gone. In the Canon line, professionals should pay attention to the models such as Canon EOS-1DS Mark III, EOS 5D Mark III. Nikon offers to choose from professionals Nikon DF products, Nikon D800, Nikon D4.

Your professional camera is able to serve you for a long time and reliably. Therefore, in addition to all the characteristics, you should also like his design and shape, the camera should be comfortably lying in your hand.
