Sensor size is one of the factors that determine image quality; the rule is the larger the sensor is, the more sensitive to light it is, and that benefits image quality. In small sensors light spills across sensor, causing a kind of internal flare and reducing overall image contrast, while this is not happens with larger sensors. In general, there are three basic size categories for sensors: Four Thirds: Small, like sensor of phone camera, point and shoot cameras. APS: Large sensor, found in consumer DSLRs and Pro consumer DSLRs. Full Film Format. Larger sensor, found in Pro DSLRs. Large sensors are available in large cameras (Like Canon 5D), small sensors are available in small cameras like point and shoot, smartphones and tables. This leads us to the conclusion that even if you have a camera with high resolution (More megapixels such as 10 MP) but its sensor is small; you are going to get bad image quality. This fact may seem frustrating to many! Cameras with larger ...

What is RAW and JPEG format? Many photographers ask about the different between RAW and JPEG photo format, especially when they want to buy a new camera. In this post, I will try to clarify the differences between these two formats. There are two types of image format that cameras record, JPEG and RAW. Every format has its benefits and disadvantages, and therefore certain uses and specific users. Most point and shoot cameras capture image as a JPEG, this format is easy to edit and store, it occupies less space in your camera memory and computer disc. JPEGs are easy to share online or use in the website due to their small size. They are also supported by many software-editing programs, transporting, sharing and downloading is shorter and faster. Disadvantages of JPEG format is its limited possibilities in post-production, where this will be hampered in its color mode RGB and missing some vital information (Image quality). The JPEG format is great for snapshots (Suc...

One of the most beautiful things that you see when enter Hagia Sophia is the light that reflects everywhere in the interior of the nave, giving the dome the appearance of hovering above this, the view is wonderful and results some great photos for those who interests in building photography.

There are many facts that should be taken into account when choosing you digital camera, the body construction is one of them.   Point and shoot cameras are portable and can easily fit your pocket; they are also stylish and come in different colors and elegant designs. DSLRs cameras are larger and heavier than any types or brand of the point and shoot cameras due to their larger sensor and lenses. DSLRs bodies make you feel solid and durability.
