You may be wondering: "What does the topic of SLR cameras have to do with the photo of the headboard, a truck?" Indeed, we are not going to talk about trucks but SLR cameras. But don't be impatient, you'll know in due course I have already explained, on many occasions, that not all photographers need a "professional" SLR camera . I have tried, occasionally, to explain the differences between a professional and an amateur SLR, but I always did it far above. Today it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to explain in a little more detail the differences between a professional and an amateur SLR camera .
BEFORE STARTING
If you are interested in this topic, I want you to first get rid of that false feeling that professional is synonymous with "better." The word "professional" has undergone many alterations and deviations in its use. We say "Ohh .. It's a very professional job!" Referring to a high quality job. In reflex photography, the term professional does not mean precisely "better quality." We will see its exact meaning shortly, but first I wanted to clarify this point.PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY VS. AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY
Professional photography is nothing more than photography that is exercised as a "profession." This is: to make a living. That person who goes out with his camera to the street, hires a model, rents a photography studio, and exercises photography with the main purpose of making money, is called a professional. As you can see, the quality of the photos is not part of the definition of "professional." One is a photography professional regardless of the quality of his photos. Yes, it is true that it is difficult to succeed as a professional photographer if the quality of our photos is bad, because nobody would hire us or buy us our jobs. Even so we could talk about a "professional" photographer, only in this case he would be a bad professional. But it would be professional, for the record. Then try to make a living by that means. There are also bad plumbers, bad lawyers, bad sellers. Good and bad there are in all professions. Similarly, amateur photography is the photographic activity in which passion, enjoyment and hobby are the main objective. It is a type of photography that does not necessarily seek to make money (although it could arise by chance). When you dedicate yourself to photography in your spare time simply because you like it, then you are an amateur photographer. Again the issue of quality has no impact here. When you are an amateur photographer, it does not matter if the quality of the photos is excellent or very bad.DSLR CAMERAS
SLR is a type of cameras that, simplifying, are characterized by interchangeable lenses and an interior piece called a "mirror." Within the digital SLR cameras we find 3 groups mainly:- SLR cameras for amateurs or beginners
- Semi-professional SLR cameras
- Professional SLR cameras
AMATEUR / BEGINNER SLR CAMERAS
They usually have a decent amount of megapixels but not excessively large, between 10 and 20 megapixels. If you look at the technical characteristics of the camera you will see that it has a relatively small sensor (if you compare it with the sensor size of a professional SLR camera). Since beginner SLRs are made for an audience that walks the streets, travels, and sometimes has to carry them in a bag or backpack, they have the characteristic of being relatively small in size and not very heavy. Battery capacity is another differentiating factor. The cameras for beginners have a very good charging capacity, but that does not even reach half of what the battery of a professional camera can hold. Finally, one of the most striking (and lucky) features of an amateur SLR is the price. Its price can be a quarter or sixth of that of a professional SLR. Here are examples of what for me are some of the best SLR cameras for beginners .PROFESSIONAL SLR CAMERAS
Professional photography has characteristics that make SLR cameras dedicated to this purpose (work, profit) very different from those of amateur. For example, one of the professional uses of photography is advertising, where sometimes you need to make prints of huge advertising posters. Precisely for this reason it is necessary that the camera comes equipped with a large number of megapixels. Today a current professional SLR does not fall below 18 megapixels. The sensor on the other hand is usually larger, the battery holds twice or triple that of an amateur SLR, and therefore is a bigger tad. Generally in a professional SLR everything is bigger, to such an extent that the camera itself is of size and weight considerably larger than those of an amateur camera. It is understood that this is not a problem for the professional who will surely use it with a tripod and very stable conditions. Some professionals are dedicated to the photography of extreme sports, travel, landscapes, animals, etc. They are extreme wind, dust, water and rain conditions that sometimes threaten the physical integrity of the cameraThat is why professional cameras tend to come "factory sealed" against this type of adversity of nature. Sport is another recurring theme in professional photography. A photographer who covers sporting events needs a SLR capable of capturing many, many photos per second in burst mode. So such a camera could not have less than 6 FPS (photos per second) in its burst shooting mode, although 10 FPS is usually normal. Finally, the price of a professional SLR camera does not normally fall below 2,000 euros. As you can see, both professional and amateur SLRs, both are focused on meeting the needs of their regular users. It is not that the professionals are better or the amateur ones either. If you are an amateur and you are sure that you will never want to work as a professional photographer, why bother spending an embarrassing amount of money on a camera beast that you will not use even 10% of the benefits.
