Does the first camera for beginners in photography choose a SLR or a micro-single?
The definition of "DSLR" is "single-lens reflex camera", while an "in-camera" camera is a camera without a reflex mirror. An in-camera camera merely lacks a reflex mirror compared to a DSLR, and the core components are basically the same. It should be noted that "micro single-lens" is a registered trademark of Sony. However, for the sake of clarity, unless otherwise specified, the following content refers to all brands of in-camera cameras, not just Sony's in-camera cameras alone.
Let's first compare the advantages and disadvantages of DSLR and micro-single.
appearance and volume
Compared with the DSLR, the micro DSLR is compact, stylish and easy to carry, but its battery life is not as good as that of the larger DSLR.
viewfinder
The SLR viewfinder takes the view directly through the lens, and the light is shot through the lens, through a reflector, refracted to the focus screen above, and then refracted into the eyepiece. Because the scene is taken directly through the lens, the problem of image deviation is solved.
The micro-order mainly uses the electronic viewfinder, which generally uses the LCD on the digital camera to display. The disadvantage of the electronic viewfinder is that the quality of the display is somewhat different from that of the SLR viewfinder. At the same time, because the screen is used to display the viewfinder, the electronic viewfinder consumes more power than the SLR viewfinder.
- controllability
The SLR is ergonomically designed and is more comfortable to hold than a microsingle. Most SLRs are equipped with main dial and auxiliary dial, which can easily and quickly adjust the aperture and shutter. On the other hand, the micro-single camera has fewer buttons, so it is impossible to quickly adjust some parameters, such as sensitivity and white balance, which can only be adjusted by entering the menu through the screen.
- Group of shots
At present, there is still a big gap between the number and type of micro single lens compared with the SLR, and the choice of SLR has a rich lens group to meet the shooting needs of more themes. Although the micro-single fuselage can transfer the SLR lens through the transfer ring, Jinhua teacher does not recommend that, first, it reduces the micro-single portability, and second, the optical performance of the lens decreases after the transfer.
Does the first camera for beginners in photography choose a SLR or a micro-single? Through the above comparison, I believe you have the answer in your heart.
If you like travel photography and attach great importance to the portability of the camera, you don't want to study photography in depth in the future, but just want to send the photos to your moments, then Mr. Jinhua recommends that you buy Sony A5100 16-50 sets or A6300 16-50 sets.
If you want to further study photography and have higher requirements for fuselage control and battery life in the future, it is recommended that you buy Canon 800D (EF-S 18-135mm IS USM) or Canon 80D (EF-S 18-135mm IS USM).
