Hello guy's First of all I would like to start off by saying that I am new to the world of camera's and photography . Up untill about five weeks ago I wouldnt be able to tell the difference between a through away camera and a camcorder ! My dilema is this ? Five weeks ago I asked my wee boy what he wanted for his tenth birthday as I had all his christmas presents in four day's after christmas is his birthday so I was scratching my head on what to get To any readers this story is totally unrelated to the topic in matter and apolagise maybe (eoshd) can transfer this post to a topic that fits. Anyway I was scratching my head on what to get him and he said he would like to get a camcorder for youtube because his friends are doing the same thing so I thought sure noproblem . I done a bit of research online and found that camcorders were a waste of money acording to some sites they are not any better than the smart phone I have in my pocket well the cheap camcorders . I wasnt looking to spend much money anyway being so close to christmas I was skint . Further research led me to beginer dslr camera's Sites were saying they were great for video and you can also take nice family photographs . So this might be the rout I should take a beginner for my boy to learn on if he likes it he can grow with the camera if not then I can recoup some money back something I would not have been possible with a cheap video cam . More research was pointing towards the canon entry levels they had all functions that I needed or "my boy" needed the more I read the more I was learning my self about photography . I dont follow the crowd I usually think for myself and never fall for marketing tricks so when I buy a product I outweigh the pro's and con's before hand At this stage it is becoming obsessive I am now offically hooked to photography The more I keep reading and learning the more I love it for someone who hasn't owned a camera in his life . But is giving me headaches I dont know what camera to buy on a budget ! Five weeks in the making sleeless nights of constant reading about all the different brands learning what makes a camera work disecting every single entry level camera how they work, how their processors work, who has the best processors, wow the picture gets to the processor, video code, very exhausting indeed so I have narrowed it down to what I am looking for in a camera and is still very extensive (haha) For me video first then picture quality so what I have read "bitrate" seems to be the biggest factor in video so the higher the bitrate = smoother video quality I had to find the the best processer expeed 4, digic 5, bionz, after extensive research for me its got to be the expeed 4 built by fuji used by nikon there are the only one to shoot from rooftops that every time they make a new prossecor for the camera its the biggest and fastest and it is not hard to see why . The board of camera's processors is made up of micro processors designed form diffrent tasks like process light, picture, colour, focus, bitrate etc etc, nikon claim expeed 4 can process 600 megapixel per second so if every frame is Say 2 megapixel (1080) still . do the math and work that 600 megapixels into any frame rate giving you plenty of room to run smoothly When a picture is took it is extracted through the sensor in black and white (greyscale) and digitalised into pixels , coloured diodes are added into the pixels (rgb) red , green , blue , and this is were it gets technical each brand has there own Algorithms wrote for these for example picture those three coloured diodes (rgb) mixing together to make the start of a picture like digital jigsaw puzzle Each each diode pixel emulating a jigsaw piece to make the biger picture Each brands algorithm written can be shaped for example iam sure that it is olympus that likes more blue in the picture to complement the sky nikon likes to use more green because visible light as we know is actually in the green spectrum . So algorithms are wrote to bend colours in your favour to which each brand feels will work in there favour. If I were to design a camera for say cinematic use it would be a compact systems camera with the strongest processor to deal with a high bitrate no focus function because it burns a lot of pro power I wouldnt need this function An algorithm wrote to show more greyscale colour for more cinematic experrience Of course there is more to that needs added in the internal side of things but my point is less bells and whistles the better the processor runs less overheating meaning less noise , also aps c sized sensor and adapted to take any cine lens sorted kickstarter here I come ha ha So I have more or less came to my final conclusion on what camera to pick that would suit my wee boy for my budget first wait for the new nikon d3300 , canon eos m and the sony nex 5t, I just missed out on the eos m for a hundred pound with pancake lens I know it is not to everybody's taste but for its price there is no better So as I end with this long post not relating to any topic I was sharing my own thoughts on somebody that didnt have a clue a few weeks back to someone who is now very facinated in photography now And with a little research we can all get a cannon 5d iii equivalent haha ,
