Better yet, the camera should have an aperture-preferred shooting mode and
a fast telephoto lens with an aperture setting of f/2.8, which enables you to create a
limited depth of field, where your subject is in clear focus, but the background and
foreground are blurry.
??? Do you own a 3-5mm SLR film camera manufactured by Canon, Minolta, Nikon,
or Pentax? If you own a Canon, Nikon, or Pentax film camera, your auto-focus (AF)
lenses may work with the manufacturer??™s digital SLR. If you own a Minolta film camera
with A-mount lenses, they can be used with the Sony Alpha digital SLR.
??? Do you want the capability of editing your images after downloading them to
your computer? If so, your camera should include image-editing software. If the
camera has Adobe Photoshop Elements, Corel Paint Shop Pro, or similarly powerful
software, you can use these applications to color-correct, resize and crop images, and
much more.
??? Do you want the capability of printing photo-quality prints of your images? If so,
your camera should be 4.0 megapixels or greater. A 4.0-megapixel camera in its best
shooting mode will give you high-quality 4 ?— 6 inch prints; a 5.0-megapixel or better
camera will yield images as large as 8 ?— 10 inches.
