The Advantages Of Using A Digital Camera

digitalcameraIf you belong to that group of people who simply enjoy taking pictures, then digital camera is the perfect gadget for you. These are electronic devices which capture and store images digitally, instead of on photographic films. Still, they need to be provided with enough memory or a storage media to save these pictures. These include DVDs, CD Singles, Floppy Disks, Memory Cards (such as Microdrives or CompactFlash Cards, Memory Sticks, MiniSD Cards, MicroSD cards, etc), FP Memory and many others. Despite the fact that storage devices such as Floppy Disks need computers, using autonomous devices, like the PictBridge Printer can guarantee that you can print your pictures directly using a printer.

Great for beginners
 
Review Date: September 15, 2009
Reviewer: Jessica,
I had to buy a DSLR camera for my college photography class. I didn't really know anything about using one, and I wasn't willing to pay over $700 for one. I saw this camera on a Sony flier I received in my e-mail and showed the specifications to my professor. Overall, he thought it was a pretty neat camera for it's price.

So far I haven't had any problems with it, and most of my pictures have come out the way I wanted them to come out. The A330 is very light and fits better in my hands than some other DSLR cameras I have been playing around with. What I really love about the camera is it's help guide. For someone, like me, who has minimal DSLR experience the help guide is extremely useful.
Why did I wait so long?

I only have one question and that is "Why did I wait so long"? I haven't had an SLR since my Minolta film camera many years ago. I tried a Nikon DSLR a few years ago and hated it...it was bulky, the photos were blurred and I had to edit almost every photo I took...so I sent it back disappointed. My first digital camera was a Sony Cybershot and I had great luck with it. I tried several of the high zoom Sony Cybershot digital cameras with great success. While I was very happy with my results, I knew it was time for me to move on to a DSLR. SOOOO, I decided to give the Sony Alpha 330 a try! WOW!! The photos are AMAZING!! I have taken hundreds of photos so far and have NOT had to edit one of them! I bought the kit with a 18-55mm & 55-200mm lens' and the quality of my photos has improved tenfold. The technology of Sony is beyond compare and this camera gives me razor sharp, colorful photos each time I snap the shutter. I will be adding extra lens to this camera for years of professional looking photos! And I will be adding some photos here soon in the photo section. BUY THIS...you won't be sorry. Also, I highly recommend this very helpful book by David Busch to compliment your Sony a330 called: David Busch's Sony Alpha DSLR-A380/A330/A230 Guide to Digital SLR Photography, Softcover Book, by David Busch

I recently purchased a Sony Alpha A330Y 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with Super Steady Shot, Inside Image stabilization, and 18-55 mm and 55-200 mm lenses. I received a very good price. The camera and lenses arrived in excellent condition in a very short period of time at a very reasonable price. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and the quality of the pictures produced by this camera.

Reviewer: carolegs, Rosebud Reservation, South Dakota
I very much like my Sony Alpha-330. It is easy to use, the weight is comfortable...I wish the higher ISO values created less noise in the image.

I'm very happy with the image stabilization within the camera.

Can't think of too much else that isn't perfect, except the noise in low-light images.
Very Enjoyable

Reviewer: David J. Yang, New Jersey, USA
Have been using it for over 6 months replacing my aging Canon first digital rebel. Very responsive shutter. Tons of special effects and tricks. Built quality is excellent, as known for Sony. All in all not a bad camera. Only thing missing is video. Would recommend Canon T1i or similar with HD video capabilities.

Breaking the Rule of Thirds

rule-of-thirdsPerhaps the most often cited rule of photography is the rule of thirds. Developed by artists, this rule aids composition and  determines the most powerful placement for key subjects. Four lines divide the frame into an imaginary grid of nine identical rectangles. The idea is that you place your primary focal point on one or more of the four points of intersection, and place key vertical or horizontal lines along one of the dissecting lines.
