Last week has been one for refreshing my skills with
photography. I have two cameras, a Nikon
D7000 series DSLR, and a Nikon Coolpix P600.
Both have quality sensors, the heart of any good digital camera.
The Coolpix is a light, smaller “bridge camera,” the
designation used to describe the difference in size and heft between the
larger, heavier DSLRs and the much smaller slide-in-your-pocket cameras that
are now becoming endowed with much more power and quality.
Maybe, someday, a genius entrepreneur will combine all the
photo-taking qualities of those three camera types into a single
smartphone. Several decades ago, who would
have dreamed that pixels generated by a chip would consign celluloid film to
the museums of photography?
