The Newest Camera Features

Monday, June 27, 2011

One of the most recent features in digital cameras is a move towards compact cameras that also have interchangeable lens (much like an SLR camera). However, these are mirrorless cameras and are a new type of camera that offer the consumer similar features to those on a DSLR while maintaining the size of a compact camera.

Another increasingly common feature is the inclusion of high-def video recording facilities. Cameras are no longer simply for taking still images, the definition and length of video clip are helping users to take just one gadget when they're out and about, rather than both stills and video cameras. Even some lower-priced cameras can shoot up to half an hour of video.

Digital cameras are also featuring more and more preset modes. Many now automatically detect faces and smiles, ensuring you get the best picture of friends and family, however awkward they are to photograph! And there are some quite advanced features on cameras, such as panoramic modes; just hold down the shutter and pan the camera to produce a wide-screen panoramic view, along with ‘miniaturisation' modes. In the past, you had to do some clever technical stuff to take photos that make the subjects look like models – think railway stations and the Houses of Parliament – but now it can be achieved just by a twist of a dial or push of a button.

Some of the best digital cameras for anyone who enjoys sports and getting out in the great outdoors now feature ruggedized cases, which can endure being dropped and bashed about – there is also a good choice of waterproof cameras, whether they're to use on the beach, in the snow or for some serious underwater photography. It was not long ago that these were features reserved for professionals.

The best digital cameras also now offer the option to save images in RAW photo modes. This is a photo format beloved of the professional photographer, because it allows for a better degree of manipulation and is a move towards offering amateurs a professional photography experience.

Zoom is improving all the time and on some cameras you'll find that you can achieve up to 35x zoom, which is ideal if you enjoy taking photos of birds, wildlife and sports. Action photography is also enhanced by multiple frame features that when the shoot button is held down deliver up to 11 frames per second.

Operation-wise, the latest cameras now also have the advantage of touch-screen operation, reflecting the trend in smartphones, tablet and all-in-one PCs.
