What To Consider When Choosing A Lumix FZ45 Digital Camera

By Justin Davies


Making the choice of which Lumix FZ45 camera to purchase is a task that requires careful consideration of certain parameters. What the purpose of the camera is intended to be is obviously the foremost consideration to be made. Whether the camera will be utilized for professional grade photographic work or for normal domestic purposes will play a large part in determining how much it will cost. There is a large range in prices between the various cameras depending on the base model.

Understanding the technical terms that define the features of the camera is an important step in making the right purchasing decision. Pixels are the tiny dots of color that make up a digital image, and the image size and resolution, or quality, are calibrated in megapixels. The higher the megapixel figure, the higher the quality and the larger the picture a camera can take.

Digital cameras often come with a choice of either digital or optical zoom. This defines the way in which the camera enlarges objects faraway. A general rule of thumb is to consider optical zoom more important as magnification using the lens system in a camera often produces a higher quality image than digital zoom, which simply uses the software to calculate the enlargement of an image. The images thus produced by manipulation through software, though enlarged, are often hazy and unclear.

In some cameras, the buyer is offered both digital and optical zoom options in the same camera. This combination provides sharper images and higher zoom sensitivity. The zoom number is a multiple of the number of times the camera can reliably enlarge the image taken, while the focal length is the difference between the two types. The ability to zoom in and out is down to a camera having a variable or fixed focal point, with the former allowing for zoom operation.

Macro lenses allow cameras with this feature to reproduce exceptionally high quality images as they provide the capability for extremely detailed close-ups of the subject, producing a very professional looking photo. This is a much sought-after feature especially with nature photographers.

The ISO is what determines the sensitivity of the camera to light. The higher it is the more sensitive to light the camera will be. This results in achieving a print image that is not fuzzy.

There is also the shutter speed and aperture. A high shutter speed enables the camera to take clear action shots, while a slower shutter speed enables capturing of fast moving objects. The aperture, on the other hand, controls areas of focus on an image. The Lumix FZ45 camera is well built and long-lasting camera available at reasonable prices.
