Also know you don't have to go out and get some expensive DSLR in order to take pics. There are plenty of "hybrids" out there that are much more affordable. They're essentially cameras with all the point and shoot modes and offerings plus they have dslr settings.
I'd love to have one of those lovely DSLRs, but since it's just a hobby, I don't need to spend a shit ton of cash on something I don't use enough to justify the expense.
I've been using a Fujifulm Finepix s700 for almost 8 years and it wasn't until last year I got a new one (Finepix S9200). If anyone remembers any of the pics I've posted in the past, it was done on my s700. I've always been impressed with the macro settings on these cameras, tbh.

Thanks so much, Taureye and rockyroad...
I'm planning to buy a second-hand DSLR. Like you rockyroad, I don't want to spend a lot of money for cameras since photography's not going to be my bread and butter but just a mere hobby.
I've only used built-in cameras in tablets, which I find much easier to use than DSLRs. My favorite setting is the Low Light. 🙂

So you're using point-and-shoot digital cameras. That's good. How do you compare these cameras to those built-in cameras for tablets and androids such as Samsung Galaxy?
Posted by firebunnyThe Nikon D4 is a nice tool.

Both were less than $ 200. The s700 I got like 9-10 years ago so it's a bit outdated but still does a fabulous job. I got my S9200 for like 150 on sale as a kit- came with the bag and a memory card. What I love about these is the battery life is pretty great. Takes 4 AA batteries and it takes quite awhile to go through them all, depending on how much you use it at one time.
They're affordable and decent cameras for what you're paying, tbh. The one downfall to my newer one is that I can't get lenses to add on that are threaded because of how the lens operates.I could do that with my older one. :/
Also, apparently the s9200 isn't made anymore by Fuji so prices are going to vary based on whoever is selling them.
This is the newer version of that one, apparently-

Posted by firebunnyHoney, understand that tablets and phone cameras are not something you consider when taking up photography.You'd be foolish to even consider using these as a primary camera for photography.
So you're using point-and-shoot digital cameras. That's good. How do you compare these cameras to those built-in cameras for tablets and androids such as Samsung Galaxy?
They don't really compare. Yeah, they take nice pictures, but you don't necessarily have all the capabilities as you would with a traditional camera. Optical zoom is what a lot of the tablet/phone cameras operate with and it's blegh because it pixelates photos.
Posted by rockyroadicecreamThat's less than 10,000 pesos! I can afford it! 🙂Posted by firebunnyAre you not capable of Googling? :/Posted by rockyroadicecreamHow much did you pay for either of these cameras?

Posted by tizianiYou guys. I'm comparing digicams with the built-in cameras because what I have now is the latter. Heheh...
You would only really want to use smartphones for photography if you've reached a level of skill where you can use the most out of the light and environment around you at a moment's notice. There are top level photographers on IG that do this just to prove a point about how to push yourself. But there's no need to make life that hard for yourself when starting out. Get a camera that's more heavy duty and can do most of the heavy lifting for you while you learn. A camera that can shoot in RAW format for one, so it takes in way more light and saves the data on memory card. The ways in which you can post edit with that amount of light stored in one photo is near limitless.
Photographer's Market book is useful in the sense of making a living and making bank.
Here are some of the pictures I've taken using the built-in camera of Samsung Galaxy. Please critique my pictures! 🙂
Why do they not show up? Lol.
Oh no. What should I do? 😢
Uggggggggghhh...
Trying this for the Nth time:
It worked! 🙂
My sister at the beach:
I love this picture. 🙂
Ok, if you're serious about photography, start learning some of the "tricks" to an artistic eye, because composition and subject and lighting are 90% of what makes or breaks a photo. The perks for the 10% are the tools you use (my favorite are SLRs and DSLR, as opposed to point n shoot). Learn the rule of 3rds, how to manipulate light, how light interacts with your subjects, what angles make for more interesting shots, etc.
And pay attention to lines: horizon, vertical, etc.
Have you seen all my photos in the site I posted here, MoonArtist? 🙂 Thanks for the advice, by the way...

Posted by firebunnyYes, and I can see you're aiming for more interesting shots, but you're also making some mistakes in the details. For a picture like the one in the church where you're capturing a corner of a room with strong lines there's no way to get all of the lines vertical, because of perspective. The way you took the shot, just by standing there, makes the space feel awkward (but I like the lighting in the windows and room). You could make that shot stronger by crouching on the floor and pointing higher while also tilting the camera more diagonally. This will exaggerate and lengthen the lines of the building while also making the shot more interesting because the perspective is unique.

When using natural light, some of the best light is early morning and early evening just before sundown. This is the magic light! Try to avoid middle of the day light, unless it's cloudy, because it tends to wash things out.

Here's my deviantart gallery. Dig through the folders on the left and study some of the photos in them. That will give you an idea of what I mean by having an artistic eye, using lines, perspective, light, etc. to your advantage. I make it my business to take some of the most overlooked moments and find the magic in them so that a dried weed, or a piece of wood is so much more than it seems.

MA basically summed it up best. It's obvious what you're trying to do, but are falling short due to lack of composition (and camera phones can make pictures "flat" because of very limited settings).
It's okay though, you're just getting started. You just need a better understanding of composition and a better tool (aka camera) to work with.
Oh, and bonus points if you can find the mistakes in my photography (I know where they are). Hint: think about the lines.

I still managed to get some gorgeous pics but they were limited in that I couldn't enlarge them much without losing quality. So, I upgraded to a DSLR with more megapixels. It's proof that anything can take a great shot, but it will still be limited to what the tool can do. 🙂

Posted by MoonArtistOh, I know. My s700 wasn't anything crazy, but I was able to get some great shots with it, which were comparable to those taken with a DSLR. It was still kicking ass at its 7mp resolution, I just wanted a newer camera with some updated features. I'd love to have a DSLR (I have a few SLRs), but it being just a hobby I do whenever I feel "inspired" I won't waste the money unless I happen to come across a chunk of "spare" cash. I'm fine with my $ 200 hybrid. It does just a good a job. I get a LOT of compliments. I've even had friends who had the Mark III for their cameras be rather impressed with what my cheapie could do haha.Posted by rockyroadicecreamSome of my old favorite pics of mine were taken with my first digital; a Canon Powershot with a whopping 4 megapixels, which was all the rage then.

Posted by MoonArtistFunny thing is that I've taken a few classes and learned all the proper crap, and I just never let it stick. I am such a hands on person. I tinker with the settings until I get what I want. Fuck if I remember the "equations" and the like for f stops and aperture haha. I've learned more from doing than theory. I just had too much ADD going on when I took those classes.
