The camera with the best combination of price / quality. How to choose?

It is clear that almost everyone has a camera on the phone. But still quite often I want to buy a camera inexpensive, but good. And here there are problems with the choice - then for an affordable price the quality is lower than the baseboard, then the price is sky-high. But whoever seeks will always find, and so that you do not spend a lot of time comparing the characteristics, we conducted some comparison of the 2019 models.

So, let's try to figure out which of the cameras will not make a hole in the family budget and at the same time will please you with high-quality images.

How to make the right choice

To choose something worthwhile and not overpay for functions and bells and whistles that you do not need, it is worth deciding on what exactly you want. To do this, it is recommended to make a list of your own needs or what you want from the camera. There are several questions that can be answered with this list:

• quality of photos. Will you just need clear photos or do you need professional quality;
• how much are you willing to spend on the device and its contents;
• Will you buy additional equipment (tripod, lens, and so on);
• battery or batteries;
• you plan to develop further as a photographer or a camera is needed to replenish family albums;
• where and what will be photographed more often - people or nature, indoors or outdoors.

By answering these questions, you can significantly narrow your search. But in order to choose exactly the best model for your goals in 2019, you need to look a little into all these characteristics that are incomprehensible at first glance.

It is also worth remembering that the cheapest camera is unlikely to please you with the highest quality. And the most expensive does not mean the best. Therefore, it is worth approaching the choice of equipment with all responsibility, so that you do not suffer from a purchase later.

Types of Cameras

Choosing a good, but inexpensive camera is difficult, but possible. It can be of any type, depending on what purpose you need. So, the main types of existing cameras:

• a digital camera is simply a “soap box” that has gone through several stages of evolution. The lens is not removable;
• amateur SLR camera - high quality, removable lenses, many features and settings. Suitable for both novice photographers and just lovers of high quality pictures;
• semi-professional camera - a set of functions wider than the previous one, high-quality images.

We will not talk about cameras in smartphones, since here we are talking about cameras. Although some built-in cameras are better than some devices. But now is not about that.

Already at this stage, you can imagine what you want. For example, if there is no desire to understand the many settings, it is better to take a simple digicam. And even more so if you are not going to become a professional photographer, why are you a semi-professional?

Soap box

These cameras are distinguished by ease of use (even a child will understand), compactness, lightness and the absence of many settings. These are the most budget models that are perfect for everyday shooting different life moments.

Consider several models in this category and determine the best.

The cheapest camera is Rekam iLook S750i cost 1800 - 3000. In appearance it resembles the good old film "soap box". It removes by 1.5 meters, runs on 3 batteries. It is possible to record video, a timer for 10 seconds. Zoom is provided - 4x, 12MP sensor. The model is presented in different bright colors.

This device is worth the money, no more, no less. On some phones, shooting quality will be better. If you buy a child as a real toy - it’ll do. To get good shots, you still have to spend a large amount.

We will not consider the most expensive compact camera in detail, but it is.Model Leica Q (Typ 116) worth 300 000 - 430 000 rubles. Let's go further.

The camera is inexpensive and good in 2019 according to customer reviews - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W800. Now its cost is an average of 6000 rubles. Of the positive features of this device, it is worth noting its compact size and lightness, the model is very comfortable in the hand. Built-in flash, fivex zoom, the ability to record video. The pictures are clear, contrasting. The battery lasts for 200 frames, so if you plan a lot of memorable shots, you should take a charger or a spare battery with you. In general, this model is a cheap camera with good quality shooting.

Such a camera will be quite enough for shooting a child’s performance at a matinee, photographs from holidays and feasts. For a small budget - that’s it.

DSLR

This type of camera has some advantage over conventional digital cameras. They have a built-in mirror element, the matrix is ​​larger, the clarity of the pictures is higher, and the background, as a rule, is slightly blurred. The latter allows you to highlight the central element. Often newcomers to photography try to find out which SLR camera is good and inexpensive. There is no definite answer here - too individually everything needs to be selected.

How to choose a suitable SLR camera and not miscalculate the price? It all depends on the characteristics that you need. Here is a SLR camera, which is not only in demand, but also the love of its owners.

Canon EOS 1100D - The device is from a well-known brand, which has been among the three best in this field for many years. Devices of this order are often sold already with the lens, but if you do not need it, choose a technique marked body, not kit. Here the difference will not be so big - about 1500, but still, is it worth it to overpay if the lens is dusting around. And if suddenly there is a desire to acquire a lens, this will not be a problem - any additions from the same company are suitable for the model. We can say that this camera is the most inexpensive and good for 2019.

The price of the model is up to 20 000 rubles. For a device of this level - cheap and cheerful. The presence of a 12.6 MP matrix and the ability to shoot 720p video are worth it.

Another worthy representative of SLR cameras is Nikon D3100. Here the matrix is ​​a little more powerful - 14.8MP. But not every lens fits here. You will have to pick up with a certain mount, for example, the Nikon F mount here. The difference between models with and without a lens is about 20,000 rubles. A camera with a lens in the kit costs about 44,000. Video recording is provided, but only for 10 minutes.

Choose the best

So, to summarize all of the above.

Well and so on on the list. Digital "soap dishes" win, perhaps, only in price. The quality is still better to buy a SLR. But for everyday photos, a digital camera with a lot of MP is quite suitable.

Have a nice shopping and clear shots!
