Is a Sony Camera a good choice for you?

By Martin Wilkins


There are many choices available from Sony cameras and at least one is sure to meet your needs well. Understanding what type of camera fits your photography style can be all the difference between great photos and a disappointing outcome. Learning which features will work best for your picture taking will help you choose the best camera for your photography needs.

What kind of pictures do you mostly take? When you answer this question you will be able to know what type of camera will best fit your photography style. If you primarily take snapshots and need a small handy camera that's ready to go at a moments notice then you will not want to purchase a camera designed for high detail controlled studio settings. However if you primarily take high detailed and use very controlled settings then a snapshot camera will not meet your needs.

For most snapshots and average use such as vacation photos and other photography where ease of use and convenience are important a smaller digital camera usually works best. As the smaller cameras are easier to carry around and require fewer attachments they are perfect for taking snapshots during your other activities and will not weight you down with a lot of added equipment such as lights and extra lenses that not only add weight but bulk to your camera case.

One of the best examples of this type of camera is the Sony Cybershot line of cameras. Easy to carry and simple to use with many useful preset options and functions these cameras allow quick use and provide great picture quality. Perfect for sharing snapshots with friends and family either online or in printed form this camera line meets the average photographers needs well. The included software allows editing on the fly as well as after you get back to your computer.

The Sony Cybershot W350 is only one example from many models of Cybershot cameras. This camera has a Carl Zeiss produced lens for clear shots and has a 14.1 mega pixel resolution for great detail. A 4X zoom function and a wide angle lens with the ability to take panoramic shots and stitch them together in the software give you many options for taking great pictures. The 2.7 inch LCD viewer and optical stabilization make this camera easy to use and reduces the effect of any motion on your shots.

If you are looking for greater versatility and precision a Sony DSLR camera is the choice for you. Taking the place of the older 35 MM film single reflex lens cameras of the past these cameras are the latest in a line of time tested photography equipment. Used by professional and amateur alike the fine detail afforded by these cameras and the ability to change lenses in some models for different shooting conditions gives you much more versatility in your photography options.

The DSLR cameras that Sony sells are often the choice of professional photographers and amateur photographers who need the highest possible quality in their photos. These types of cameras while giving greater quality do require a little more skill and practice to be used most effectively. These are not simply point and shoot cameras and are most effective when used by an experienced photographer. If you are most interested in taking the highest quality photos possible then buying and learning to use a DSLR camera is probably a good idea.

Matching the versatility of the old 35 MM film SLR cameras with the convenience of digital storage and manipulation a Sony DSLR camera can meet the need of the demanding amateur and professional alike. Bringing what was best from the past and merging it with what is best from the present produces a camera that will last into the future. While these may not be the best choice for everyone if you are willing to take the time to learn their uses you will be rewarded with the best possible photos available today.

Whatever your photography style and needs Sony has a digital camera that will fit your needs well. Well priced and well known Sony is a product you can purchase with confidence that you will get years of great service and wonderful photos for your investment.
