What Type of Camera Should You Use for your Photography?
April 6th, 2009
If you have recently joined the yearbook committee and have been assigned the task of doing all the photography for the book you might want to decide what type of camera you want to use. There are many different cameras for many different occasions. You might already be a photographer with a camera or maybe you have to purchase one for this position. it comes down to two choices either a point and shoot or an SLR.
The point and shoot digital can probably get some great photos but the SLR digital camera is in a league of its own. If you are serious about photography and plan on taking this further than just the yearbook the SLR camera will carry you much further. If you have plans of photographing sporting events at your school you will want to a camera that can operate with a very quick shutter speed in order to capture the image of the game. The SLR will work even for situations like dances where you want to capture students in movement. A point and shoot might not have the full capabilities to really capture the images without blurriness.
Photo quality will be very important for the success of your yearbook. People will remember the different stories through the photos so it is important to capture them the best way possible.
