The most important (and as a rule most expensive) part of your camera is a lens. Here are some tips on how to protect your investment against weather, dust and environment.
Once in a while the subject of copyright in photography comes forward.
It is an area where, understandably, there is much misconception, mainly because there is not a “universal” law on copyrights in photography. Actually, different countries have different laws and even inside the same country, like the US, copyright laws change from state to state.
Due to the constant downward price pressure on dSLR cameras, more and more people are seeing the advantages of an dSLR and moving up from compact or "bridge" (another name - "prosumer") digital cameras and from film cameras. For such people the question of brand, and thus system, should they buy always comes up.
If you already have some lenses from your old SLR film camera then the decision may be made for you, though this depends on the value of the lenses to you and how much you are willing to spend. If someone is coming to dSLR's free of any existing investment in lenses, then it is really a very tough decision. The reality is that any of the systems will let you do pretty much any type of photography at all. The differences come in terms of features or options that make life a little easier.
When you just get starting on digital photography, help is always needed and welcome. Most digital camera manufacturers now have websites that offer some help to get people started in taking digital photos. Some even have articles about advanced techniques. Even though you probably just have one brand of digital camera, you can still learn something from other camera-makers' websites. Many of the tips are generic and applicable to all digital cameras.
With the popularity of digital cameras, more and more people are taking more and more photographs. In fact despite scare-mongering stories about "the end of history" and "the death of photography", the truth is that there are more photos being taken today than ever before. However most of those photos will never be seen by anyone except the person who took them, because hardly anyone prints their photos any more. This is very odd, because many people have home computers with photo-quality printers that are more than capable of producing first-class prints from almost any digital photograph.
