Camera
selection is complicated-
A DSLR (Digital single lens reflex) is great but not necessary-
A DSLR can be restricting...
they can't easily do macro close-up photos and their bulk makes it difficult
to have the camera handy at all times.
A full function point and shoot style camera is easier to carry-
Students are expected to shoot a lot for the class and having the camera
handy is helpful.
Megapixel size is not important (anything 5 mp or more is OK). Style
can be Digital SLR or point and shoot Digicam.
(Shutter priority and Aperture Priority)
A
good reference site is DP
Review- with a camera feature search section- Look for
the features of aperture priority and shutter priority. Check the features
on your camera with this
database.
