While you’re ticking off your list of places to go, don’t forget to bring a Compact Digital Camera. Guinevere Sofer tells you why
Sweeping landscapes, majestic sunsets, colourful natives and awesome performances are all reasons why we travel.
Though the duration of a vacation can vary from three days to many weeks, let your memories of these places keep your holiday experiences fresh forever. The best way to do that is with great photographs.
Convenience & Quality: Why settle for less?
We all know that phone cams are convenient, but their photo abilities are lacking when compared to Compact Digital Cameras.
Fortunately, these days, Compact Digital Cameras are as “pocketable” as phones. Yet, their quality and versatility is demonstrably better.
Higher Resolution
Many phone cams are touting higher megapixels now but don’t be misled by these numbers. Without getting too technical, higher resolution requires a number of different qualities which phone cams simply don’t have.
In order to have better resolution, the optics and sensors of the camera need to be better and larger. This allows more details to be captured.
So, for example, instead of a bushy, fuzzy patch of green on top of a tree trunk, you’d be able to see the separate fronds on the palm trees. With a Compact Digital Camera, patches of soft fuzzy colours become discernable textures, creating the perception and feeling of realism.
Versatility in Various Conditions
From sunsets to sunrises, night bazaars to outdoor performances, a Compact Digital Camera is able to capture them better than a phone cam. Standard features, such as long exposure, help you to capture Arabian nights with starry skies or even textured sand dunes.
Fast shutter speeds help to freeze fire-twirling Tahitians dancers in mid-motion. The zoom capabilities of Compact Digital Cameras produce crisp, smooth images of Alpine peaks without any loss in detail.
Don’t forget to “pocket” your Compact Digital Camera before you go, take lots of photos and bring home your best.
