Help: digicam or dslr?

[amy_blu77]

hi..ask ko lang..is it advisable po ba na bumili ng mid range slr for a beginner? thanks sa sasagot!

[milktea1010]

^ for as long as you have time to study the camera and mag practice, there will be no problem, i guess. i bought a beginner one for me more than a month ago, kaso hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin masyadong gamay kasi i don't have much time to study and practice. good thing magbabakasyon na!:D

dslr na. ganda ng mga pictures talaga. invest ka rin of course sa bags, lenses,filters, remote, tripod. unti unti naman yan, important is yung basics ng photography matutunan at mapractice.

[riandrew]

^^ check!
basta alam mo lang basic function, sabak na agad. you'll learn your mistakes along the way. that way sa next sabak, may improvement na yan.

Pajoin! same dilemma...SLR or P&S (slr-like photo)

[tinapot]

kahit anong camera eh practice practice at experiment lang din yan...

sa DSLR - ISO- Aperture- Shutter. heheh

point and shoot ok bitbitin syempre ok sa akin [textspeak!] canon S95  and       Sony NEX5

den lahat yan eh sa photoshop naman

ako eh nagsasawa na mag DSLR sa trabaho din kasi gamit yan lagi mas gusto ko pa [textspeak!] nex5 ang gamitin

[angeljolie]

I also recently bought an S95 and I'm loving it so far.

At work, I use a Canon 500D and like tinapot, nakakapagod na gamitin. Ang bulky kasi eh.

When I travel, yung DSLR ang dala ko at napansin ko na ako yung pagod na pagod kesa sa mga kasama ko. Minsan tuloy tinatamad nako magpicture so sayang ang moments.

I was also choosing between NEX 5 and S95 and ended up getting the latter. Bukod kasi sa mahal yung NEX 5 eh magiging bulky din sya once I decide to change the lens. I also lurked in the Digital Camera Resource Page and I was convinced na it's S95 for me.

Ang maganda sa S95, it has the same controls as my DSLR so I can choose among Av, Tv, P and Auto.

Before I bought it pa pala, may nakita akong isa pang Canon na P&S din. Powershot 1000 HS (power zoom naman ang feauture nito, 14x optical) if I remember correctly. So we tried both cams and it's the wider angle of the S95 that made me get it finally.

If you want to make use of creative exposure (shutterspeed, aperture, iso etc) DSRL

Kung point and shoot ka lang - Digicam

I see plenty of people buy DSLR and set it to 'Auto' = Waste!

san nakakabili ng s95 na 16k lang? makabili nga..

[Mom_S]

it really depends on your budget & take on comfort... p&s is a better choice if u want less hassle sa pagbitbit & easy controls. if you're into good quality pictures then it's dslr. but depende pa rin sa kumukuha, as i've seen pics from a fellow gt'r using just a canon powershot A710 & you'll be amazed with her works esp for the macro shots... sabi nga, it's the indian not the pana 

[riandrew]

i took these shots using Olympus EP-1 (not a DSLR)

Olympus EP-1 sample shots

im impressed with the outcome! auto lang yan kasi nahirapan ako gamitin (im a canon user, hiram ko lang yang olympus) 

[stunning_anne]

sis raindrew, i was about to ask you kung ano gamit mong cam kasi i browsed your blog, yung sagada part.. yun din ba gamit mong cam? thank you.

[riandrew]

^ canon 500D gamit ko jan.
are you sure blog ko (Surviving Sagada Alone) nakita mo?
sa iba kasi naka-refer na GT'er yung post mo. 

[stunning_anne]

kayong dalawa chineck ko sis.. alam mo na i'm doing research for our sagada trip.. mas nauna ko kasi nakita yung sknya.. tapos nakita ko din sayo.. sige sis thanks.. kakabenta ko kasi yung p&s ko na sony cybershot balak ko bumili bago.. kaya nag tatatnong din ako kung ano maganda at swak sa budget ko. thanks anyway.

[mooncake and leaves]

yesterday on the news, dun sa tech segment, they mentioned that p&s will soon be obsolete. 'di ko napanood eh kasi paalis na ako nung sinabi yun so didn't get the gist. la lang. eh di magmumura na p&s? yayayayay!

[baby_maryen]

ako din torn between a dslr or a P&S camera pero, through browsing and reading internet sites, I learned that there are P&S na parang dslr na din yung quality ng pics and may manual controls na din. Gusto ko talaga dslr kasi ang ganda talaga ng quality ng pics saka sosyal tignan! haha! pero yun nga lang, bulky kapag nagtravel ka saka more often, since ikaw ang may hawak ng magandang cam, photographer ang labas mo! hahaha! di ka masyado mag eenjoy, like what others say. Saka yung budget din iniisip ko, if I could get a cam that is almost half the price of a dslr and almost the same picture quality, then I'd go for it! namamahalan kasi ako sa dslr, parang hindi practical for someone like me na hindi naman traveler. I'm torn between Panasonic lumix lx5, Panasonic Lumix FZ 40 (medyo bulky rin) and canon powershot S90. Yung FZ 40 kasi mura lang, mukha rin dslr, sosyal tignan! hahaha! pero its considered as P&S din, nice quality din yung pics. Isip isip muna ko kasi yung canon S90 and Lumix LX5 falls around 20K eh, yung FZ 40 nasa 15k lang.. sayang din yung 5k! madami na ko mabibili dun

[stunning_anne]

sis nagcheck ka na ng p&s na olympus pero dslr quality?

[bugs]

ive just sold my nikon d60 which i have lugged around for over a year.  4,000 actuations pa lang sha pero suko na ako.   sold it for only 18T. 

i love the shots... kaso,  drawback talaga ang bigat nya.  i have such small hands and im very small lang, so hassle talaga ang weight and bulk ng dslr for me.

im getting a canon s95 instead. in lieu of my dslr,  go advanced PNS ako.  top of the line ng pns ang s95.  shoots almost like a dslr.  not quite,   pero almost.  good enough for me.  wala naman ako balak mag pro. 

so, i guess it all boils down to your preference... weigh mo the pros and cons.

I super agree with you! Guilty rin ako diyan nung unang panahon eh. hehe

[erriane]

^^ Like! haha kuntento na ko sa s95 ko. i can borrow slr naman anytime.
