What To Consider When Choosing A Lumix FZ45 Digital Camera

By Justin Davies


Making the choice of which Lumix FZ45 camera to purchase is a task that requires careful consideration of certain parameters. What the purpose of the camera is intended to be is obviously the foremost consideration to be made. Whether the camera will be utilized for professional grade photographic work or for normal domestic purposes will play a large part in determining how much it will cost. There is a large range in prices between the various cameras depending on the base model.

Understanding the technical terms that define the features of the camera is an important step in making the right purchasing decision. Pixels are the tiny dots of color that make up a digital image, and the image size and resolution, or quality, are calibrated in megapixels. The higher the megapixel figure, the higher the quality and the larger the picture a camera can take.

Another interesting feature to be considered is the camera zoom. It defines the method by which the camera focuses on and enlarges distant objects to make them appear closer to the viewer. Digital cameras offer a choice of either optical or digital zoom, and the buyer has to be savvy in their choice. Optical zoom operates on the principle of magnification using a combination of lenses, while digital zoom utilizes software based algorithms to enlarge the image taken. Generally, it is better to have a larger optical zoom than digital figure to ensure sharper images when this feature is utilized.

There are some cameras that offer the option of both the digital and optical zoom. When used together the zoom capability is enable and increased. Zoom describes the number of times this zoom varies from one camera to another. The focal length of a camera is what dictates the difference between the two zoom options. The digital cameras that do not have zoom capability have focal points that are fixed. Whereas those with variable focal points are able to zoom in and out.

Macro lenses allow cameras with this feature to reproduce exceptionally high quality images as they provide the capability for extremely detailed close-ups of the subject, producing a very professional looking photo. This is a much sought-after feature especially with nature photographers.

The ISO is what determines the sensitivity of the camera to light. The higher it is the more sensitive to light the camera will be. This results in achieving a print image that is not fuzzy.

The shutter speed and aperture are also features that cannot be ignored. Higher shutter speed enable action shots without blurring. And slow shutter speed enable capturing images of moving objects. The Aperture gives control over areas of focus on an image shot. The Lumix FZ45 is of great quality, reliable, durable and affordable.
