Sony RX100

To ensure clear reproduction in low-light conditions, the Sony RX100 cameras have dual noise reduction and column a/D conversion.

FAQ
How do you get started in digital photography
The first thing you should consider when starting out in digital photography is what type of camera you want to use. There are many options available, including DSLRs (digital single-lens reflex cameras), compact point-and-shoot cameras, camcorders and smartphones. Each camera has different benefits and features. DSLR cameras can produce high-quality images, but they are usually heavier and more bulky than other types. Point-and-shoot cameras tend to be smaller and lighter, and may have automatic settings for specific situations. Camcorders offer excellent video recording capabilities, and may also have still photo shooting modes. Smartphones are small and lightweight so they can be easily carried.
Once you've made a decision about the type and model of camera you want, then you must decide whether you want to buy it new or used. If the camera was purchased in the past few years, it is possible to find used cameras at reasonable prices. Because of the large amount of money that manufacturers spend on new technology, older models are more expensive.
Next, purchase lenses. Your photographs' quality will depend on the lenses you choose. They enable you to adjust the focal length of the lens so that you can zoom into the scene with no loss of focus. Some lenses can be equipped with flash units that are built-in, while others may require external flash units. There are many brands that offer a wide variety of lenses, each with its own unique characteristics.
Finally, you will need to invest in memory cards. Memory cards can store pictures that were taken with your digital camera. It can hold hundreds to thousands of photos, depending on how big your card is. If you plan to shoot lots of pictures, you will need multiple memory cards.
What camera should I get?
It all depends on your goals and what type of photographer you are. A basic point-and-shoot camera is probably all you need if you're just starting out.
However, once you've mastered the basics, you'll likely want something more advanced. It really is up to you what you prefer.
These are some things you should consider before buying a camera.
-
Features: What features do you need? Will you use manual settings or autofocus? What number of megapixels does the camera have? Is there one?
-
Price: How much do you want to spend? Are you going to buy a new camera every year?
-

What camera is the best for beginners, and why?
The best camera for beginners depends on your budget, needs, and skill level.
If you are looking to save money, then a point and shoot digital camera might be the best option. These cameras offer good quality but aren't very versatile.
Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras can be equipped with interchangeable lenses that enable you to shoot different types. While they are more expensive than point and shoots, they offer much more flexibility.
A beginner's kit is the best place to begin if you are new to photography. The package includes everything you need: a camera, lens, memory cards, tripod, flash and a camera body.
Also, don't forget about extra batteries!

How To
How to Take Portrait Photos
Portraits are important because they show who you are. They also tell your story. Although you may have an old favorite photo of you, now you want to create something new. It's easy for people to forget how fun it is to take photos. Here are some tips to help you get started.
-
It is important to have enough light. It is best to take portraits in the morning, or late afternoon. If you use flash, make sure there is no direct sunlight shining into your face. This will wash out all details. Also, don't shoot at noon. It will create too many shadows.
-
Use a tripod. The camera will not move if it is held still. You'll lose the opportunity to freeze action. And if you're going to use a flash, set up your shot first without it. Turn off the flash, then try again.
-
Make close-ups. Closeups allow you to show detail. However, they can look fake if you don't have good eyes. Look closely at people's eyes, mouths, and noses. Notice anything unusual? Is someone wearing glasses? Are there freckles on her nose? These are subtle details that add depth to someone's appearance.
-
Smiles are not something you can force. Smiles are difficult. Most people smile naturally when they feel happy, but others don't. If you try to force them, it just looks unnatural. Think about what makes you laugh. Perhaps it's silly things like watching a cat jump through a hoops. Maybe you enjoy watching paint dry. Whatever it is, keep thinking about it until you start laughing.
-
Find your creative side. People think they're boring. But being ordinary isn't bad. You can find ways to be different from the norm. Ask someone to pose behind their back with his hands in front. Another option is to suggest that he wear a funny headgear.
-
Keep practicing. Practice every day and you will eventually be a better photographer. You will notice more interesting things as you get better.
-
Have fun. Enjoy taking photos. If you enjoy the experience, you will be more likely do it again. Plus, you'll probably end up with some really cool shots.
-
You should share your work. Once you are able to take high-quality pictures, share them. Tell them why it was taken. Tell them where you went. Tell them about your adventures.
-
Be patient. Sometimes things just don't click. It happens every day. Don't worry. Don't worry. Just move onto another image.
