Prêt-à-porter advice
Readers want personal advice from us.
Unfortunately, we have no time and resources to answer all these questions. That is why we have written “semi-customized” (“pret-a-porter”) advice on this site for different target groups. We have elaborated this for each camera and / or type of photography.
Our “pret-a-porter” advice only includes cameras and lenses that we have tested ourselves.
What's in a name?
Starter
Budget is important. Your new camera may not cost more than approx. 500 euros, including the lens.
Amateur
Fun in photography is paramount. But it must also remain affordable. So camera body of under 1,000 euros
Prosumer
Will it be a high-end camera with a crop sensor? Or an affordable full frame? It's completely up to you
Pro
You are looking for the highest quality. That may cost some in euros & drops of sweat (size and weight)

What is camera calibration
Cameras describe colors as a mixture of red, green and blue (RGB). The amount of each color is described by a number. The number combination (0,0,255) equals a dark, saturated blue color and (128,128,128) represents middle gray. Just like with people, each apparatus registers a color just a little bit different than another apparatus. One camera will describe a specific color as (100, 240, 100), whereas another camera will describe exactly the same color as (0, 237, 40). How is a printer or LCD screen to know which color to show you, if two different cameras produce such different numbers for exactly the same color? |
