Professional or semiprofessional - Part 2

Professional or semiprofessional - Part 2

   Finally came the continuation of the conversation that began last month, is emerging as many other situations in which it ended up delaying the completion of this subject too. This time I'll also talk about accessories that can be used with DSLR cameras and even with the compact as well.
It is undeniable that today, some items that were once dreams of consumption have now become a reality may well be due to increased supply and why not, a more stable economy here in Brazil. One example is the plasma TVs to arrive in Brazil costing 20 thousand real and today you can find for less than 2 000 of which is already outdated technology by the LED and LCD. This also happens with the cameras, come here costing a fortune and eventually lowering the price goes scarily. Unfortunately, this combination of increased supply and more stable economy has generated an enormous boom in sales of cameras and accessories, and some people lose track of what is really needed for them.
Here's an example that I witnessed recently: The person apparently saw someone using a camera to protect large, liked it and have money left, he decided to buy one but did not like the results of its first complained about the pictures and zoom, said it was too little compared to the HX1. Why, a DSLR has no zoom, this is determined by the lens you're using DSLR and the input is always accompanied by a 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 lens at all brands, either Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony or Olympus and who is more attentive reader of the blog already know that this is a lens about 3x zoom with an aperture not very good.
Ok, explained the factor lens came another question: Because the pictures are dark? I paid so dearly for the camera and the photos are darker than the compact of my sister, will need to buy a more powerful flash to improve? This is the typical question of who bought a DSLR for use in automatic mode and does not want to learn to use manual controls, will become a white elephant on its hands and worse, if you buy a flash will become a slave flash ever! And then, just to make family photos, trips, etc ... will be carrying a big heavy machine that does not satisfy you and above all, will still carry an external flash to increase the weight of lemon.
So folks, let's pay attention to the conscious use of technology, she is there to facilitate people's lives so do not try to complicate. I really admire our friends who think of buying a DSLR but want to learn it, because many already encouraged to do so but if you want to just point and shoot, we have great compact, high-quality amazing and at times not to be like Sony superzoom HX1 , Nikon P100 that are great but too big for family photos, because cameras are so small that make miracles like the Panasonic LX3, Canon G11, Canon S90 and others. If you are buying only the size of the DSLR camera, watch, think straight and friends of the blog are here to help, let the professional who is a professional.
