In the modern day of point and shoot digital cameras, it has to be queried as to whether there is any place for the SLR digital camera any more. Well for the fans of SLR rest assured as SLR cameras are still being made by companies such as Canon, Minolta and Olympus to name but a few. As you are already probably aware SLR cameras are bigger but have more options, and for this reason SLR cameras tend to be more expensive than point and click ones. But what exactly is an SLR camera

SLR stands for single-lens reflex. This means that the composition and metering as well as the actual film exposure are being done through a single lens. Another way that these types of camera are known is TTL (through-the-lens). As cameras go, SLR has been the favoured type used by professional photographers for decades. The reason for this is that SLR cameras offer a direct view between your eye and the target of your pictures, which ensures a photo reflecting your vision. One thing that you do have to be wary of though is that, unlike the old fashioned more robust film versions, digital SLR cameras are quite sensitive and easily broken.. The reason for this is because there are a lot more electronic components to a digital SLR camera than there were on film cameras, and once these are damaged, you probably will need to get a replacement, although repairs may be possible. But do not let that deter you from buying one, as if you look after it properly then the vast majority of digital SLR cameras sold work perfectly well for a long time, and give you good quality images for years to come.

One of the qualities and even an advantage of using a digital SLR camera, is that it is generally easier and faster to shoot and it tends to be more flexible than a normal camera. This is because it generally allows you to be able to change your lens as a feature. And quite often with digital SLR you will get an Auto focus feature. This feature enables automatic focusing and will help to give you superb image quality even in situations with low light availability . If you really push the boat out and invest in a really professional digital SLR then you will find that these use the best sensors the camera manufacturer can produce, resulting in exceptionally clear, vibrant images. But even if you just get a standard camera, you will find that the lenses made for SLR cameras are generally of a higher quality than those found in most point and shoot cameras, so you are always going to get a better final image.

Preserving the laughs, the good moments, the not so good moments and many inexpressible moments; the usages of a camera are simply never ending. No matter whether you go on a vacation with your friends or visit your paternal house in the countryside, being able to capture what you experience is almost of great importance. As a matter of fact, the rage of photography has aggravated manifolds ever since people got the opportunity to share their photos on social networking websites such as Facebook, Orkut, Google Plus, and the likes. Due to the rise in the number of people pursuing photography as a hobby, the market saw the introductions of numerous compact digital cameras in every possible budget. However, none of the previous entrants of the camera segment deliver what is promised by the latest from the electronic industry heavyweight Sony.

Sony NEX range of compact digital cameras comes with an interchangeable Sony NEX lens, making them the first of their kind. Even since the introduction of DSLRs, many of us wished to own a top of the line DSLR camera to capture the life around us in the most impeccable fashion. However, due to their high prices, being able to afford a DSLR camera is not in everyone’s financial realm. Thanks to Sony, now you can have the flexibility and performance of a high tech DSLR at a much lower price. Some of the key features of Sony NEX range of cameras are:

• Interchangeable Sony NEX lens

• 14.2 effective megapixels

• HD video recording at 1920 x 1080, 17Mbps

• 3D sweep panorama

• Contrast autofocus system

• Anti-motion blur and night mode

• ISO 200-1800

• APS HD CMOS sensor

• AVCHD or MP4 video recording

• Creative Style system

• White balancing

Currently, Sony is offering two variants in this range, NEX-3 and NEX-5. Although both the models share same basic specs, the latter comes with a few extras. Apart from the standard features NEX-5 also promises an infrared remote receiver and AVCHD movie recording mode. Another notable difference between the two models is the body casing. While NEX-3 has a soft cornered body which is relatively larger in size than its superior, NEX-5 comes in a very stylish, slim, and edgy outlook.

If you are planning of buying a Sony NEX camera, it is recommended that you buy a Think Tank photo bag as well. This is because stock camera bags don’t offer the security a camera such as Sony NEX deserves.
