Web. 11 Dec. 2015. < a comparison between different varieties of cameras that can be used while traveling. It compares point-and-shoot cameras to; DSLRs, mirrorless cameras (which are basically the combination of a point-and-shoot camera and a DSLR), and a GoPro. It compares their costs and points out different specs for each option, to find the perfect match for the user. ApplicationThis article perfectly compares each aspect of various cameras for traveling. One of the main problematic areas of misused photography is traveling. Tourists usually have DSLR cameras but do not know how to utilize its abilities. This will be a good read for those who are unsure of what type of camera to get.ArticleGo Backpacking. "Choosing the Best Travel Camera - Go Backpacking." Go Backpacking. N.p., n.d. Web. 17 Dec. 2015.SummaryThis covers the big dispute between a point-and-shoot camera and a DSLR camera for traveling. The author of this article is more biased towards point-and-shoot cameras in terms of price, as they are less expensive than DSLR cameras. It gives the pros and cons of each option. DSLRs are more expensive and bulkier than point-and-shoots, but have higher quality and better zoom. The article then gives four different kinds of travel cameras to purchase. It lists the Canon EOS Rebel T2i and Nikon D3100, both DSLR cameras, and the Canon S95 and the Olympus Stylus Tough 6020, which are both point-and-shoot cameras. ApplicationThis is useful to my research as it balances out the pros and cons of traveling with a DSLR camera or a point-and-shoot. It gives price ranges for each of the camera examples they give; most DSLRs being over $600 while point-and-shoots price around$100-$200. This relates to my study in a way because most people would purchase a DSLR for the better quality photos, but do not understand the baggage that comes with traveling with a DSLR.ArticleMarek. "Travel Cameras: Top Choices For Travel Photography (2015) - Indie Traveller." Indie Traveller. IndieTraveller, 27 Oct. 2014. Web. 17 Dec. 2015.SummaryThe author of this article compares different cameras to take pictures with when traveling. They compare a variety of cameras, from the standard point-and-shoot cameras to SLR cameras. Keeping in mind the purpose for the camera, the author suggests some cameras for certain activities. The pros and cons are included for each camera option. Smartphone cameras have decent picture quality, but they have poor battery life and not enough creative options. If the smartphone camera is good enough, a basic compact camera isn’t even worth the money. Premium compact cameras are a good option for a beginner and range from $350-$800. They give more creative options than smartphone cameras do, and are generally a good middle ground option if you want good quality without the big baggage like the DLR has. Action cameras, like the GoPro, are amazing for videos but not the best for photos. SLR/DSLR cameras have the highest possible picture quality and have a boat-load of creative options for the user to fool around with. The downsides to these fine cameras are that there is a lot of learning that needs to take place, and that their bulky and a lot of extra baggage. They give final advice to buying a camera; Don’t bother to much on megapixels since 8mp is a good standard. Obsessing over zoom is not worth it, the more zoomed a picture is, the more pixilated the image gets. Paying attention to lens aperture is important, the lower the aperture is, the faster the lens can take pictures and performs better in low-light. ApplicationIn some ways or another, people don’t take into consideration the other aspects of the camera when buying one. Most people will just buy a DSLR camera for the status, knowing that it’s a professional camera, but will have no idea how to properly use it. This article, and many others, tell the reader to take into consideration all the aspects of the camera.ArticleHarris, John R. "I'm Going on Vacation... Which Camera Should I Buy?" Explora. B & H Foto & Electronics Corp., June 2015. Web. 17 Dec. 2015.SummaryHarris gives advice to choosing a camera for traveling. He suggest to get a camera that the user would be comfortable using and would use even after traveling. “A camera that you don’t know how to operate-or worse, one that sits unused in your suitcase- is easily the worst camera you can buy.” He gives a lot of questions for the buyer to consider before buying a camera. He goes into talking about a variety of different cameras and their speculations. The advanced point-and-shoot cameras are the first cameras he touches base on, saying they are compact, lightweight, and user-friendliness. Long zoom point-and-shoot cameras are bigger than the average point-and-shoot. They have more of a DSLR body but with lens that can’t be detached. He then goes on about different cameras, not really giving the downsides of traveling with that type of camera. Harris brings up a camera the other articles didn’t mention. The “Ricoh Theta m15 Spherical Digital Camera”, a slim camera with lens on each face, that takes 390 degree spherical photos. ApplicationThe article is very straight-forward with the types of cameras. There appears to be no bias towards a specific type of camera and is well rounded with its speculations of each type of camera. However, the author does not include much about the disadvantages to the cameras. I feel like disadvantages would be more helpful in assisting buyers towards the correct camera. ................
