If you’re looking for versatility, image quality and simplicity, DSLR cameras are a perfect choice.
The wide range of lenses available with DSLRs let you explore any type of photography. Accessory flashes can also be added to achieve great shots in dim lighting, even at further distances! DSLR models with large image sensors deliver greater resolution and sharpness. Focusing and exposure systems are more accurate too, so you’ll capture more detail in shadow and highlight areas.
A new lens gives you a whole new perspective on your photography—you can get up closer than you imagined or capture sweeping vistas in crisp detail. Here are five steps to help guide you to the perfect lens.
Fine-Tune Your Photography: Accessories for Perfect Pictures
Digital SLR cameras have transformed amateur photography. Built-in sensors take the guesswork out of proper exposures, auto-focus practically ensures sharp shots, and computerized settings allow even the amateur to experiment with artistic effects.

You may be losing precious pixels every time you choose a standard 4×6 print size, pixels that are cropped to make your image fit the 4×6 shape. In fact, if you take pictures with a compact digital camera, you are likely losing 11% of your image. That could be the 11% that includes your dear Aunt Bea’s head, or the top of a totem pole, or the full impact of a stormy sky.
There is a certain magic involved in taking a dynamic, beautiful bird photograph. Many of the ingredients you can control—timing the shoot, setting up the perfect location, using quality tools—but the true joy of bird photography is in the unexpected. What kind of bird will land on this perch? Can you press the shutter just as it spreads its wings? Can you capture the drama of the moment in vivid colour?
