Macro lenses:
We use this lense for extreme close up on small object like insects,flowers,food and many more.This lense is very good for selcetive types of focus.
Normal lenses:
Normal lense is a simple lense like digital camera lense.But.we can produce versatile picture also from this lense depends on our creativity.
Wide-angle lenses:
This lense have short focal length.The short focal length makes the subject far away from you and make it looks smaller. The best part using this lense is you can be relatively close to your subject and fit a broad stroke of the background into the scene.
Telephoto lense:
Telephoto lense is a lense with focal length 100mm and higher.The effect of this focal length is,it bring the subject closer to you.
Zoom lenses:
This is very special lense because it can be very versatile.This lense vary in their focal length and come in many fuctions like wide angle and many more.This lense is very expensive but not very expensive if we compare the price with the function of this lense.
Understand the use of every lense will help you produce very quality picture using your digital slr camera.

REVIEW :
Sony is a famous name in the field of electronics customer.It is generally highly praises for its digital cameras and other electronic items.
Along with this wonderful merchandise,Sony is also coming up with latest updates of Image Data Lightbox bundled software applications ang Image Data Converter.The updated firmware would surely raise the perfomance capability of the camera. This update,on the other hand,would raise the entensity of images and decrease the amount of sound in certain circumstances. An interesting feature of the update is that it can manage flashes with non-ADI controls even at short distances.
Sony is quite posite about the recent updates of the firmware for its DSLR-A700 camera.As said by official source,"improved image sharpness and noise" is what is predictable from the newly revealed firmware updates.It is also revealedthat the update release include patches to Sony's RAW file converter.In most of the countries,Sony has already started giving online help to their customers for downloading the firmware updates.Anyway the results are yet to come,wether the new updates will actually help to get better photography or not is still uncertain.

The Sony Alpha DSLR-A300 Digital SLR Camera attribute a 10.2 mega pixel CCD sensor, Live View, a sports built-in sensor shift anti-shake facility which works with practically any lens and a vertically-tilting monitor. The included kit comes with Sony's DT 18-70 mm lens.
The sensor that affords the Live View abilities is the secondary sensor that comes built into the viewfinder. The A300 offers a flexible, real-time Live View LCD that improve the evolution from point-and-shoot to digital SLR. This camera features an edge over it's rival challenger in that it's flexible Live View works in real time.
The A300 arrives with a 2.7 inch Live View screen which offers high-quality real time viewing, so you can control images using the LCD screen just as you would with a point and shoot camera. An easy mechanical switch allows you to fastening back and forth between features. The Live View mode does not slow down the camera's mechanics because the Alpha DSLR-A300's Live View uses a separate mirror to transmit images. The customary viewfinder also works just fine, as the eyecup and diopter comfortably fits most persons
The Live View mode let you to create shots of subjects at ground level easily, since you don't have to bend down onto the ground to look through the viewfinder. The LCD's quality is outstanding and the Live View is truly an inventive feature of this camera that has many advanced functions and features. The A300 weighs 16.3 ounces. Not quite so light, the camera still gives a solid and balanced feel.
Manual setting are easy to manage, as the aperture and shutter priority modes are easy to switch. The A300's Exposure Shift setting allow you set what you perceive as proper exposure and then allows you to make equivalent exposures using special shutter speeds and apertures. The white-balance settings are easy to adjust and fully customizable via the interactive menu.
What makes the Sony Alpha DSLR-A300 Digital SLR Camera so attractive by far is it's smooth Live View handling. Not only that, but this camera is very fun to use and simple.

Like many mass marketed digital cameras from company as big as Sony, they advertise upon the high resolution that is offered and how high the image condition produced. The Sony Alpha 200 has the set up 10 megapixel Sony CCD but come into the Alpha 700 image parameters and noise reduction through BIONZ image processing. Sony A200 autofocus improvement is on the list of changes from the Alpha 100 that it replaces. Aside from its high image quality, the A200 also offer some great options to improve photography skill.
The DSLR-A200 is a valuable challenger in the entry-level market, offering amazing picture quality, strong performance, great ergonomics and loads of useful exposure options. One feature that stands out is the Super SteadyShot option.

Canon EOS 400D
PRODUCT: Canon EOS 400D
PRICE: RM 2299
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This camera follows the design of the EOS 350D, being very compact and relatively lightweight but not compromising on manual controls or in-use performance. The headline changes are another two megapixel step up (to ten megapixels), the nine-point AF sensor from the EOS 30D, a new dust removal system which includes anti-static surface coatings, low-pass filter vibration and software based dust pattern removal. Less important but just as noticeable are the removal of the status LCD, replaced instead by a camera settings screen on the now larger 2.5" LCD monitor and the eye proximity sensor just below the viewfinder to turn this off when composing your shot.
