DSLR camera versus DSLM camera

DLSM camera versus  DSLR Camera. 

Which one would be your choice?

Is it time we switched from a DSLR camera to DSLM? Some say it depends on what you want and what's right for you. Okay, sure a lot of people get confused when faced with the choice to choose one type of the camera, especially for novice photographers who would buy a camera for the first time. As you know DSLR cameras, which do use a mirror, stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex. Meanwhile, DSLM stands for Digital Single Lens Mirrorless, and eventually, also known as mirrorless camera.

On this occasion, need to be explained once again that there is a difference between a DSLR camera with DSLM camera, not just because of the weight, size and price. The type of DSLM camera is a Micro Four Thirds camera or mirrorless cameras. The Micro Four Thirds system (MFT) was created by Olympus and Panasonic in 2008. Both companies this was the pioneer type of camera DSLM, followed by other well-known brands such as Nikon, Pentax, Samsung, Sony, and Canon later also launched a MFT camera.

The difference between such a mirrorless system camera and a digital SLR camera is, as the name implies, that the mirrorless camera system, works without a mirror. In addition, this technique provides the same or similar features and capabilities, as do other digital camera systems also.

Both camera system has the same advantage over the compact camera models, as well as DSLR cameras, the mirrorless cameras that have interchangeable lenses, the which offer photographers the opportunity to the camera to its current design, the current environment or special photography techniques, such as the Time lapse Photography adapt.

The most significant advantage of mirrorless cameras over digital SLR cameras is the weight, that DSLR cameras are heavier and larger than DSLM as a system camera to dispense with the mirror inside, it is also much easier. In addition, of course, the time-consuming purification system for the mirror also falls away. The image sensors used in Micro Four Thirds and APS-C, are identical to those of SLR. By the same sensors, the image quality of the mirrorless cameras even at high ISO speeds also very good, even when using Auto ISO.

The reference in the field of speed comes from the single-lens reflex. Related to this: the autofocus: The DSLR cameras use a phase auto focus, which works faster than the contrast AF system in the camera. This makes fast image series for sports photography with the DSLR really lucrative. There is also the SLR currently even more accessories and a wider choice of different lenses, from wide angle to super zoom or even macro lens.

 When a photographer looks into the viewfinder on a DSLR camera, they can say exactly what is going to be captured. Speed ​​is also a huge advantage of digital SLR cameras. They quickly intervening focus, even in low lighting, making it easy to capture fast moving subjects. They also allow for fast zooming. The most obvious advantage of mirrorless cameras is their small size. If you are trying to capture candid shots, carrying a small MILC is much easier than wielding a DSLR with a huge lens.

The primary disadvantage of DSLR cameras is their size, but Canon has launched the Canon EOS 100D (This camera is great for the novice photographer), which is claimed to be the smallest DSLR camera, where the camera can also make movies with Full HD quality, even with a touch screen. It must be recognized that DSLRs can also be a bit complicated to learn Because of all of their different buttons and features, and of course the DSLR cameras usually large, and heavier, so it is rather inconvenient when used during long holidays, not to mention that you bring a lot of lenses.

With all the complexity that exists when will choose between DSLM or DSLR, then you try to reflect for a moment, what is the purpose you buy a camera? Each model certainly has its advantages and disadvantages. There are some personal opinions and reviews of professional photography in magazines or on the Internet who say that when it comes to image quality there is no doubt that there are many things that a DSLR does better than a MILC (mirrorless), for example, speed and accuracy. Although DSLR cameras quickly lose market share in favor of more compact and high performing ILC cameras, still, DSLR cameras are still a better tool for many photographers who choose a DSLR for professional work. Do you agree with this opinion?

In the opinion of some aspects of it may be true, but with the technological developments in the last two years, mirrorless cameras have begun to approach even superior in some ways as well. There is also the opinion that professional photographers have made mirrorless camera as a second camera, mainly used to perform the test photos when shooting a photo model, or when photographing a product for advertising needs. Say if you are on holiday in Bali or when you are in a family event such as a birthday party, then the mirrorless camera is definitely more convenient for you to carry, and can go in your pockets or purse.

Whatever decisions you will take, then you needs to understand your own preferences and your own needs in order to make a choice. You do not need to be affected by the charm of the ads that you find in magazines, newspapers or camera promotion on the Internet, you are the king, and then you are the person in charge at your own decision.

Laptops offer physical keyboards for faster typing; they’re better at multitasking, and they offer a lot more power for everything from editing text, video and creating PowerPoint presentations to playing the latest games. There are hundreds of laptops available to buy, so how do you start narrowing down the options? A budget or cheap laptop is perfect for those who want to complete everyday tasks but won't need the power you'd expect from a desktop replacement model.  This kind of laptop would suit: students, novices, those on a budget or with basic computing needs.

Choosing Between an Ultrabook and a Laptop or a tablet?

With the advancement of technology and process design size, shape and beauty of the laptop, then you can choose a lighter laptop; an Ultrabook is certainly even thinner than regular laptops. But rarely Ultrabook is equipped with a DVD that can be used to copy files or photos or to make a backup. You do not need to worry, anyway you can buy an external Hard Disk, you can even get it in large capacities up to 2 Terabytes Is it not enough?

Desktop replacements aren't quite as portable as smaller Ultrabooks, but these 14- and 15-inch laptops offer everything you need for a day-to-day PC.  Ultrabook or Ultraportable laptops may not be your main computer or laptop, but an additional laptop you use when out and about or for work on the go.

There are many ways to categorize laptops, and we've seen systems chopped into multimedia, gaming, thin-and-light, ultraportable, Ultrabook, and ultraslim. Ultraportable systems with 11 and 12-inch screens are making a comeback, thanks to new laptop entries from Apple and Sony, and hybrids from HP and Lenovo, and others such as Toshiba, Asus, Acer or Fujitsu.

If you are a gamer, you should probably make sure your laptop has 3-4 GB of RAM. The processor is what thinks for your computer. It is measured in gigahertz. Most processors these days are "multiple cores." This means they can handle more processing tasks at the same time.

If you want to use your laptop as a one-stop shop for entertainment as well as straight out computing - playing games, watching films, listening to music or editing video - then a multimedia laptop could be right for you.

There are a wide variety of sizes, features and prices, which makes choosing the right laptop a challenge. Try not to buy laptops with one year or less of warranty. Most laptops are backed by a complimentary one-year warranty on parts and labor; Asus and Costco sell laptops that come with two-year warranties. The price of US$ 500 up to US$760 was considered a good price for a budget laptop.

How many days per week to you plan on carrying your laptop around with you?  Frequent commutes suggest a lightweight 13-inch Ultrabook which is similar to the MacBook Air. Making a surprising comeback are ultraportable laptops with 11.6-inch screens, including several recent 11-inch hybrids and Windows tablets, where you may only have to take the screen with you and leave the keyboard base at home or the office.

When you choose a laptop you can choose the processor that made by AMD or Intel. Both of the processor brands are always competing in speed and energy savings. Now you just need to determine your needs that you associate with the capacity of the hard disk according to your activity, as well as the capacity of RAM that will speed you to be able to support multi-tasking, or you just need a laptop for simple jobs such as creating a blog, create a script or mailing and processing of statistical data, play games, edit video, and so on. The needs and readiness of the budget is an important basis before you determine which laptop you would choose.

Because it is still in the atmosphere of Chinese New Year, the year of the horse is a critical time to buy a laptop or Ultrabook at more affordable prices. You can get the golden opportunity until the end of February 2014. You can also look forward to a computer exhibition which is usually held before mid-March 2014. If you take advantage of special holiday mood as Lunar New Year and great exhibits, then you can buy computer products with economical package combined with unique bonuses such as flash drives, memory cards and upgrade on the RAM or hard disk capacity.

The major brands such as Nokia Lumia, Samsung, iPhone, Sony, LG or BlackBerry and HTC should not be satisfied with the technology and features, or design on their smarpthone production. They must work hard to deal with new brands, which appear all the time, especially from China. The country is very eager to beat smartphones from Japan, Korea and America. However, you as a smart gadget enthusiast who will determine their success.

Both cameras are projected to attract attention medium- professional photographers. Canon EOS 70D and Nikon D7100 come with quality features advanced and agile when used to photograph scenes which take place quickly. If observed more closely, the Nikon D7100 sensor size larger (24MP vs. 20MP). Nikon D7100 does not have a low pass filter, so the result is also a bit sharper. Is this true?

Resilience camera against water, dust, humidity level above the Canon 70D. Buttons and knobs are also more complete Nikon D7100 making it easier for users to quickly change settings.

Do you want to make a big poster? Does size matter?

The dimensions of all these cameras look very similar without much difference. Both cameras are larger and heavier than the entry-level DSLR in general. However, this measure made the user feel more comfortable hand and carry everywhere, when compared to other professional cameras. Nikon D7100 ten grams heavier than the Canon EOS 70D, but both are comfortable camera grip on a variety of shooting situations anywhere.

Dual Pixels CMOS AF on Canon EOS 70D

In terms of autofocus capabilities, the Nikon D7100 appears to look better, because the system has 51 focus points, with 15 cross-type. However, Canon was not much different, with the focal point 19. In addition, Canon has a new technology in which Canon instill Dual Pixels CMOS AF on the Canon EOS 70D. This feature allows autofocus to follow moving objects quickly and smoothly when snapped or video recording. That's why Canon more confident to compete with the Nikon D7100.

You certainly understand that that to capture fast moving objects, the ability of the camera to take photos continuously in a short time is very important. In this case the Canon EOS70D superior to the Nikon D7100 and can be used take 7 images per second compared to the Nikon D7100 as many as six images per second. If you are a Nikon enthusiast, then you definitely have another opinion.

Canon 70D has an ISO range of 100-12800, superior to the Nikon D7100 with the ISO range of between 100-6400. However, it should be noted as well, if you really need the ISO with such capabilities? With high ISO would be used for the target object in dark conditions, or lack of lighting. But we also understand that at a certain ISO levels, image obtained also has a tendency to lose color and bring the noise. My advice, do not rely too much on high ISO unless absolutely forced to, for example, for the sake of photo journalists. The photographer would not want to miss an important moment to appear on newspapers or news magazines and online media.

Both the Nikon D7100 and the Canon EOS 70D allows you to shoot Full HD video (1080p) on 30/25/24 fps and 720p at 60/50 fps. However, if you want to use it in autofocus mode when recording video, features Dual Pixels CMOS AF of the Canon is clearly more favorable. If you are a filmmaker, you would prefer the Canon EOS 70D as best friends making a video clip or movie. Nikon lens usually has an advantage for shooting outdoor scenery and photos, even widely used by CSI officers to photograph evidence at a crime scene.

Both of these digital cameras without exception provide the wireless connection feature. The difference, Canon has wireless built-in, while Nikon need some sort of adapter. This means that you need the extra cost of buying the equipment. Of course this is not always the wireless technology we need in day-to- day shooting.
