Quality clicks for your kids

Phone cams may be convenient but Compact Digital Cameras give you the best quality to preserve those precious fleeting memories

By Guinevere Sofer

It’s amazing how fast children grow. Thankfully, there are many options when it comes to capturing their growth.

Phone cams may be convenient, but Compact Digital Cameras offer both the convenience and the quality that your most precious moments deserve.

Here are a few simple ways to do so with a Compact Digital Camera.

1. Zoom in for Intimacy

With a phone cam, zooming degrades the photo quality. A Compact Digital Camera, with its superior optical zoom and sensor, allows you to capture the details and texture that phone cams can’t.

In this example, the Compact Digital Camera’s optical zoom was able to get close to capture this tender moment without disturbing the baby.

Also, notice the quality of the sharpness and details on the face and the fabric, which enhance the “feel” of the photo.

2. Dramatic Low Light Scenes

We have all seen poor photos from phone cams when the lighting condition is poor – grainy, noisy, unattractive images with severe colour distortions, which are too embarrassing to show.

Whether it’s blowing out birthday candles or lantern festivals, Compact Digital Cameras can capture quality images in low-light situations better than phone cams.

Their larger sensors and larger aperture equal superior picture quality.

3. Isolating the Most Important Elements

Quite often, it is important to keep the background blurry while your loved ones remain sharp.

Notice how, in the example above taken with a Compact Digital Camera, the background foliage is pleasantly out of focus and creates a painterly backdrop for the mother and the two girls.

The Compact Digital Camera’s unique lens and the “portraiture” setting allow it to create a blurred backdrop more effectively than a phone cam.

Conclusion

Never let precious memories go without capturing those tender moments in good quality photos.

Years from now, you’ll be able to look back at these great photos and be glad that you did!
