Are you thinking about buying an inexpensive camera? We figured out how things are on the camera market and
No smartphone will give so much joy fromshooting process, how much a full-fledged camera. And even if it will not be some huge contraption with a long lens, but a compact camera, which will not differ in size from cheap "soap boxes" that have sunk into oblivion.
Why these cameras?
So that you do not have to hastily ask inWhen commenting on why this or that camera was not included in the list, you should immediately talk about the criteria by which I selected devices. There are few of them, but still:
1. Mandatory availability of interchangeable optics
By opening Yandex.Market, you can find a bunch of cameras that do not have any mounts or interchangeable lenses. Only one fixed lens with some cool optical zoom performance. And the price of this camera will be such that it would be hard to call this purchase at all profitable. The camera market is much wider, and there is no point in buying a camera where all your creative fantasies will rest on non-replaceable optics. But figuring out all the knobs, buttons and lenses is something akin to a small personal victory, after which you will be overwhelmed with a feeling of satisfaction from the work done.
2. “Smart” functions for wirelessly sending pictures to a smartphone
It's 2020 and not enjoying the benefitscivilization, given such an opportunity, is strange. If you choose a camera, then one that supports wireless photo transfer. Let's say you urgently needed to send someone a good photo or quickly edit it. Always carry a laptop with you for these purposes – the idea is so-so. Therefore, the presence of Wi-Fi is a rather important point that should not be neglected.
3. Compactness
Another important factor when choosing a camera.If, in addition to the kit lens, you acquire a couple of other “glasses,” then get ready for the fact that there will be dramatically less space in your backpack, and your back will have to get used to the extra weight. So the size of the camera is also worth considering. Less is better. Mirrorless? Exactly what is needed.
What's with the prices?
The upper price ceiling in this selection is 40,000rubles Not exactly budget-friendly, but don’t forget what troubles the ruble has gone through recently. Five or six years ago you could snatch a good “carcass” (camera without lens included) for the same money that you can now buy only a modest mirrorless camera with entry-level characteristics. But with full “minced meat” from connection types and all sorts of “smart” improvers that moved here straight from smartphones. Needless to say, for the modern user who is accustomed to “press a button and do it beautifully” is this manna from heaven?
