The Pros and Cons of using a Point and Shoot Camera when it comes to photography of animals:
Pros:
- The Camera is small, light weight, and easy to use since it is made for anyone to use.
- Because the camera is made for everyday use it is harder to damage; which is great when working with animals.
- The camera is easy for one to move in and out of kennels or to move around a room because animals seem to not ever want to sit still.
Cons:
- A Point and Shoot Camera does not have as many controls that a DSLR Camera does. For example the focus and exposure is not as good as a DSLR.
- A Point and Shoot has a fixed lens as to a DSLR has a removable lens.
- One will have to force shallow depth of field which can be done in photoshop.
- This type of camera does not have AV (Aperture Priority).
Tips:
You can trick a Point and Shoot camera to have better focus and exposure by two ways:
- Look for a dark area with light and hold down the shutter button down half way to have it focus on the image.
- Macro Mode

This is a photo of my camera I am using. This picture shows how small and light weight a point and shoot camera is. It can sit in the palm of ones hand. Also you can see the fixed lens on the camera. |

Here is the back view of my camera. It has a few feature buttons but not as many as a DSLR camera does.But it is still simple enough to just point and shoot. |
Kayle, I love the background you have chosen for your blogspot. It really calls attention to what we are doing. --karen
ReplyDeleteGood images, and nice lists that discuss the pros and cons of your camera. Your tips are helpful too. It will be interesting as the course progresses to see you compare the two cameras—once you have some more skills!
