The ideal is unattainable – this was the conclusion many, buying a camera.
Nevertheless, you can choose from several lesser evils.
In this case, at least, you can guarantee that the purchase of the amateur photographer like.
But what is considered a lesser evil?
Better quality pictures, ease of location or function?
We choose the best camera, trying to find copies of the optimal combination of all these parameters.
Determine best
Select the camera is very easy: their number is constantly growing, and characteristics of virtually unchanged.
Thus, the only thing you can do is choose some sort of brand and declare it the best.
At least, the best for themselves.
But will the choice of a particular model successful – a matter of chance.
Perhaps if you were lucky to Friends advisers, the apparatus will be really successful.
To alleviate the plight of our readers, we analyzed the models of the main manufacturers of digital cameras and chose the best ones.
Undoubtedly, the choice of a particular model will have a group of people backlash: is not among them, none perfect, but it is worth recalling that we have deliberately confined ourselves to a certain class of devices, namely, cameras highest amateur steps to regulate virtually any configuration frame but not exceeding the price limits of 20 thousand rubles.
The table shows that in our selection there are not only expensive camera, but their available counterparts.
It analogues because of their ability all five of these cameras are practically equal.
Let’s start with a first place ranking.
Camera discovery
Just worth mentioning that the appearance of Canon PowerShot S70 a bit inconsistent with not only its internal content, but even well-established traditions of the initial registration of semi-class cameras (in the “retro” style), that is, with ponderous interior casing, where it was easy to fit even 35-mm film.
Film in the Canon PowerShot S70 certainly not fit
Not at all, the apparatus Canon S70, despite the seven MP matrix is made very compact.
His body has no ergonomic projections – it’s sleek, but comfortable ….
Perhaps it is this word can be called a chamber design.
Keep it in your hands and take pictures it is not just nice, it even gives some pleasure.
However, not only because of the shape the body, the camera is so convenient.
Location of the few government also did not cause the user no questions – all the major keys in their places.
One need only recall that the camera function settings of the frame and the parameters of the camera itself are separated into different keys, which is perhaps the only drawback in the first days of use.
Canon S70 is not overloaded with buttons, but they have no shortage
In terms of functionality the device can boast of all necessary to begin professional settings, from elementary to complex and abstruse.
But if you need these settings – a matter of taste.
And the reason is one – the camera and without the help of a photographer in the automatic mode, shoots just fine.
The main thing – do not interfere with her own actions.
Even such complicated for automation options, as the correct adjustment of white balance or sensitivity matrix, the apparatus defines itself, and defines almost flawlessly.
For lovers of exotic
Not to say that the Panasonic Company has been in our market so very exotic, but for digital cameras this is true 100 percent.
The fact that the developers of cameras in this company has always tried to dislodge competitors due to unimaginable innovations.
Thus, they are the first equipped with amateur camera optical image stabilizer, which was their trump card.
Now you can find and devices from other manufacturers, ready to offer the user an optical stabilizer.
But no camera will not be able to offer such a variety of “plugins”, as an apparatus for Panasonic Lumix FZ20.
But first things first.
Panasonic FZ20 looks very serious
Design of the camera at first glance seems a little angular, perhaps even more angular than it should be done: the camera’s back – this is just a rectangle with no whatever excesses.
At first it seems that the camera will not be easy to use, but the first glance is deceiving, and the camera during the very first photo shoot itself rests in his hands.
A 12x optical zoom in a compartment with the image stabilizer is an excellent alternative to the approximation of the photographer to the subject.
Manage the device is very convenient.
Perhaps only a few keys to confuse, for example, the lever inclusion or absence of central keys on navipade.
All of these features, you can quickly get used to, but to some “friendly” keys, you get used to not so soon.
For example, the possibility through the touch of a button, just change the “temperature” of the frame (not usual to adjust the white balance presets, and completely manual).
Such keys have several staff and to their use neizbalovanny excesses photographer gets used to not fast.
Behind the Panasonic FZ20 perfectly rectangular
But over the images should be treated separately.
Almost all of them are obtained by bright, juicy, some unrealistically beautiful.
It seems that the camera tries to open the eyes of a photographer, showing that the world is actually much better than it seems.
Compact ergonomics
Compact apparatus Olympus Camedia C-5060 is sometimes confusing.
On the one hand – this is an extremely well-designed camera.
But on the other hand, its size does not fit well within the concept of the best amateur camera.
The fact that the apparatus, despite the ergonomic shape, is able to fit into a jacket pocket or under a jacket.
The length of the Olympus C-5060 is not much more advanced mobile phones
The design of the camera most importantly, that first falls view – is a turning screen.
Turning around it in all directions and at all angles.
And in respect to the keys can be traced unprecedented generosity Manufacturer: literally every popular setting presented for building a separate button.
It’s much easier to work with machinery during the long shoot.
In addition to the abundance of buttons, the camera also boasts a monochrome and a subsidiary screen.
This element of digital cameras undeservedly forgotten by developers, but because its use greatly facilitates the life of the photographer.
Support ekranchik C-5060 make life easier for the photographer
On the most important thing, as the pictures in the description of this camera you can say the following.
Undoubtedly, the device meets all the expectations on him for the purchase.
No noise, no, the more fuzziness details you will not find here.
The drawback here could be called as soon as excessive brightness of colors: if there was something in real life, blue-gray, then the picture it can turn into a bright blue.
However, this effect is manifested not at all frames.
With a claim on the ideal
There are people who appear to be just fine … until you speak.
So, some cameras may seem ideal, until oprobuesh every type of shooting practice.
A striking example of this can serve as a camera Sony DSC-V3.
The appearance of it immediately inspires confidence – a big, serious lens, pretentious ergonomic body … And those benefits are not limited to the camera.
But a representative of Sony – DSC-V3 – easily fit in a film
The greatest joy of its owner delivered rubberized body and control layout.
If the Olympus can be traced to the generosity of the number of buttons, then here it is manifested in the amount of keys – all keys are large enough to operate the unit was comfortable, even big man.
Perhaps the most successful here can be called a wheel change programs: a true wheel – a large, easy – to use them is really nice, because manufacturers often make it very small.
One of the main “attractions” camera – LCD screen.
Its size is 2.5 inches, which is currently the maximum.
And that is why it is worth noting that the camera can be used as a digital photo album.
The most convenient in the Sony V3 – wheel of change programs
But the photograph of this apparatus is only just under certain conditions, namely in the daylight, or else that night in the dark.
The fact is that the automatic camera is adverse to incandescent lamps, more precisely, to their world.
It should go into a room lit by the usual chandelier, as the camera exposes the high sensitivity value and begins to make a mistake with the white balance.
Especially strange is the behavior of the device, which in good conditions frames are just perfect, if not more …
