Inter-changeable lens pocket cameras: win win!

The new generation of pocket cameras launched by all major manufacturers come with big lenses that give fantastic results – in some cases comparing with highly expensive digital single-lens reflex cameras [DSLRs] or the professional cameras. Yet, they are relatively very less expensive. For example, the Sony Nex 3 – among the first in this series – now comes for around Rs. 20,000.

These cameras can be fitted with professional lenses with different zoom capacities and filters. Of course, if you buy such lenses, the cost can go mani-fold.

Where these camera score over pocket cameras with smaller lenses is they have big lenses and a large sensor. So, there is more light, and more detailed and rich photos. It is another plus point that the photos are also  large [up to 14.2 megapixel]. Besides, there are many aperture and speed steps. Since these are high-end pocket cameras, they have noise reduction, high quality video recording, image stabilization, and many more controls. The video quality is also good.

These cameras are also much less bulky than the DSLRs and so can be a great choice for travel / wildlife photography.

So, if you are planning to buy a pocket camera but will like to get very high quality pics, go for this new series of cameras [Sony: Next3, Nex 5, Nex 7; Nikon 1 J1; Canon Powershot G11; etc] . If you can afford a few dollars / rupees more, it is worth investing that much more money in this category of cameras. These days, there is good demand for quality stock photos - and such photos can be sold through many photo selling websites. While ordinary pocket cameras do not always capture photos that meet professional standards, photos taken with these inter-changeable lense pocket cameras are fine enough.
