The advantages of digital SLR cameras for photographers are numerous. The latest introduction of different digital camera models has tremendously expanded in the market. The greatest advantage of digital SLR cameras include an accurate, bright, and large optical viewfinder, large controls and fast operation, quality image being excellent even in situations where availability of light is low, use of ISO for higher speeds, and availability of interchangeable lenses.

The SLR (single lens reflex) uses similar lenses to view and take pictures. The body mirror directs the sunlight from its lenses into prisms to view the images. The optical and mirror finder allows the photographer to frame images more accurately and quickly. It also provides additional information beneath the images which includes all camera settings that are very important.

SLR cameras are much heavier and larger compared to other cameras. It might seem awkward bringing it to social functions to take photographs. However, it will ideally fit other photographic projects. A complete system of a digital SLR camera can range form 1,000 dollars to 10,000 dollars. The price is expensive but it is worth purchasing since its manufacturers have installed faster processors and infused improved autofocus systems. It becomes more responsive and reactive when taking decisive pictures in split seconds. Another essential feature of digital SLR cameras is its larger sensors providing better performances in dim lights. It offers image elements individually and contains the same megapixels content.

The world’s leader in manufacturing and marketing digital SLR cameras is Canon followed by Nikon. Kodak and Fuji digital SLRs accepts Nikon and Canon mount lenses. Small vendors are Minolta, Leica, Sigma, Pentax, and Olympus. The latest digital SLRs made last September 2005 are: (a) big lenses, big sensor (b) big, lenses, small sensor, and (c) small lenses, small sensor.

These advantages make digital SLR cameras the number one choice of many photographers worldwide.

I have never liked lenses with focal lengths such as 18-200mm, image quality is always mediocre.

Looking for the best camera brand that offers you everything in terms of photo quality, high ISO with low noise, great lenses, popular and the best cameras overall?

In this article I’ll try comparing some brands that I tested at one time or another or simply would’ve loved to buy. I’ll talk a bit about Leica/Minolta, Pentax, Olympus, Sony, Fuji, Leica/Panasonic, Minolta.

Quality of the photos. Great lenses are produced by a lot of manufacturers, including Leica/Minolta, Practika, Contax, Leica, Fuji, Pentax, Leica/Minolta, Yashica, Zeiss, Leica/Panasonic, Pentacon, Olympus and Exakta. I’ve tried a number of different lenses from these manufacturers and photos have been great each time. When I wanted something that had ground glass screen I chose a 55mm Zenit lens and I paid less for it than I did for a MF SLR lens (which I used only for a few photos).

If we’re talking about high ISO with low noise, this isn’t an area where I’m comfortable talking.

If you want to know which one has the best lenses, check the photo quality that I wrote about above.

If you’re looking for the manufacturer with the biggest market share, look around the Internet and you will probably find this data.

Best camera brand overall. Now, there isn’t an easy way to differentiate here. They can be the best in size, photo quality and in many other factors, but the overall best depends on what the customer needs. One example would be my Leica digital camera, which could be the best point and shoot camera if its size was a bit smaller. This is true for many other point and shoot cameras, which would be the best if one of their features was better, like having manual controls, smaller CCD’s and many others. When you talk about the best camera, it’s more like choosing one that will do everything you need in 9 out of 10 cases. Other than that, you can choose an Olympus DSLR and spend a lot of money on lenses, and the end result would be a great camera.

This article might confuse you even more, but this is the ultimate truth. If you want the manufacturer that offers the most innovation in their products, then you should go with Panasonic/Leica or Olympus, which is close behind. So if you want to buy a digital camera from the best camera brand, you should look at either Leica/Panasonic or Olympus and don’t choose something less. If you want the best, look at only these two major brands.

Minolta is gone they sold there camera division to Sony last year. The Sony A100 will use your old lenses though. I wouldn’t get a Minolta digital because they don’t really have a warranty. Sony will fix them but it takes forever. Although with those two lenses I would just sell them are get a Nikon or a Canon. I am guessing those lenses are about 10 years old. They will most likely not perform will on a digital aways. Aways the 35-135 isn’t needed due to the fact that its in the same range of the 28-200 unless the 23-135 has a better F stop. Plus there is a 1.5 times factor with digital. So you really will have a 52.5-202.5 and a 42-300 lens. Non if which have any wide angle. If you wanted to go with Sony I would get the A100 kit with the 18-70 for $899 and use the 28-200 and sell the 35-135 (52.5-202). Or sell them both and get a Nikon D80 with a 18-55 and 70-300mm for $1199.

Auto contact lens cleaner review!

The Zeiss Jena may be worth quite a lot. I looked on ebay for an idea of price, and is probably worth over £100 provided it’s in good condition. Oh and don’t get rid of this lens unless you have permission…its way too good just to chuck out.

The Praktica B mount is now obselete, but it’s an old 35mm SLR that may be able to be sold for a fair bit too.

There should be quite a few camera shops on Tottenham Court Road, they may give you a valuation. It’s an idea to look on this website listing lots of used camera shops http://www.ukcamera.com/usedcams/index.htm for an idea of what things (particularly the Zeiss Jena) are worth.

For those of you who want to learn what these abbreviations are about, I have compiled a list of the terms used, what it stands for and of course what it will actually do for you or avoid.

General Abbreviations.

Before we get into the nitty gritty of why they are all different, let’s look at the commonalities. There are three common terms to describe SLR lenses and these are simple to grasp and relate purely to more creative and performance functions.

Focal length: – The scope of the scene captured example 16-35mm. A lens which covers an area of 16mm (relatively wide) zooming in to 35mm.

Maximum aperture:- The maximum speed at which the lens can let in light. eg f/2.8 or f3.5 – 5.6

If the lens has only one number then that is the maximum aperture possible.

If the lens has 2 numbers then these are the maximum apertures possible dependent upon the focal length the lens is set to.

The lower the number the wider the lens aperture and the faster it lets in light. (see my forthcoming article on the law of reciprocity)

AF/MF: Switch between Auto Focus and Manual Focus

Canon Lens Abbreviations

Terms to describe Canon lenses

Canon produce an extremely wide range of lenses for their EOS cameras. This married with the ranges produced by Sigma, Tamron and Tokina gives Canon owners an enormous range of Canon Fit SLR Lenses. The abbreviations used by Canon are as below.

EF: Electronic Focus. Lens mount fits the entire Canon EOS DSLR range.

EF-S: As above but only fitting the APS-C sensor digital SLR such as the 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D and 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D. The S stands for “short back focus,” meaning that the back of the lens is much closer to the CMOS (CCD if you like) than with EF lenses.

USM: Ultrasonic autofocus motor. Two types. USM micro-a direct replacement for the systems on older FD motors and ‘Ring USM’ with manual override.

DO: Diffractive optics. A technology allowing Canon to produce shorter physical length lenses.

TS-E: Tilt-shift lens used for perspective correction in photography, usually in architectural work to alter converging lines and depth of field. Similar to ‘Sinar’ camera.

L Lenses: Canon professional with higher optical quality and not specifically functionality. Usually white in colour. All L series lenses have a red ring on the outside..

MP-E: Macro Photo Electronic. Lenses designed for macro with an electronic aperture control function.

IS: Image Stabilisation, A system designed to reduce hand shake. Nikon version is called VR (Vibration Reduction) and Sigma one is OS (Optical Stabilisation).

Nikon Lens Abbreviations

Describing Nikon Lenses

Nikon produce a large range of lenses with their own specific acronyms. Sigma, Tamron and Tokina also make Nikon Fit SLR Lenses making the selection almost equally as wide

AF DC_ Nikkor Lenses:Defocus-image Control adjusting spherical aberration and thus the blur giving rounded blur effect used for portraits.

CRC (Close-Range Correction): Fot fisheye, wide-angle, Micro, and limited medium telephoto, offering higher quality at closer distances.

DX Nikkor: optimised for bodies with smaller sensors.

ED: Extra-low Dispersion glass. Superior sharpness and colour, correcting blue and red light travel.

IF: Internal Focusing. Lens length remains unchanged

Macro: suitable for close up focusing.

Canon does not make a EF-S fisheye lens. One of the best third-party fisheye lenses your camera can use as a true fisheye is the Tokina 10-17 mm fisheye.

No. P&S cameras do not have interchangeable lenses… you will have to buy a DSLR in order to use different lenses … with a DSLR, you will no longer be thinking in the terms of “x” optical zooms.

The lenses you use on DSLR’s can be anywhere from 1x (all prime lenses) to 11.1x (18-200 mm VR) and everything in between
