Nikon (the more expensive is the better) - an added benefit in the case of employment on cruiser ships. 
Sony DSLR / SLT (the more expensive is the better)

Why DSLR is the best choice:

DSLR (digital single lens reflex camera): This cammera use the system and pentaprism mirror to obtain images in the viewfinder, making it possible to take pictures constantly see what is photographed. Most commonly used appliances and professional photographers and advanced amateurs. With them you can use a whole series of different lenses, flashes and other accessories. Allow fine tuning of all parameters (ISO, aperture, exposure, branch, white balance, focus, metering). In addition, due to the sensor size DSLR is larger than a prosumer or compact cammera, so DSLR have better image quality, less noise, higher resolution, better bokeh. Because of these features allow the user to use different combinations of these parameters, and to make a combination of his and thus work on his creative expression in photography.

 

 

 

Prosumer - not belong to the group of reflex camera, which means they have the opportunity to give through the view finder image is photographed - but instead, through the lens of the light goes directly to a digital sensor and transferred to the screen in the back of the units which. They are similar in appearance and opportunities with DSLR for fine tuning exposure, aperture, ISO, white balance, Metering, focus, and to offer more creative options than compact units which. Additionally equipped with fairly good optics, and a large range of zoom lenses that satisfy advanced users. Some models have the option to upgrade in the form of added adapter for macro, add the converter lens tele lens or wide. Still do not have the ability to add extras like a DSLR, but these things are not even their customers need. They are a good solution for users who want to have some options as a DSLR does not want a lot of money to invest in additional equipment. Additionally, it is interesting for people who have vision problems because they have "Live View" feature on the big screen to see the image being photographed. Necessary for such a system work are slower than a DSLR, and have a slightly inferior image quality. Price - performance ratio is not in their favor, because often the same money you can buy a good DSLR camera lower class, middle class or used. And it is always a good investment if you are interested in photography.

In Serbia the best is to buy one of those: Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji

 

Compact cammeras are those lightweight and portable "pocket" in size such that they can be placed in your pocket, or are like the size of a credit card or a box of cigars. Because of their small size have a lower cost, the ability to close as a sharp instrument, but also have technical flaws so often offer only a rough exposure settings, ISO, white balance. However, these shortcomings do not come into play for those who want to use the camera for family photos and travel or to record only moments from summer vacations, or family gatherings such as glory, ceremonies, or birthdays,travel and tourism landscape of the vacation. Thay have the ability to take good pictures when there is plenty of light, and moderate conditions, but do not allow great progress in learning photography.

They have 3 classes kompaktinih apparatus: 
1 - lower class (almost everything automatically, there is almost no adjustment) 
2 - stronger class that has features like prosumer (a possibility for all the fine settings (ISO, aperture, exposure mode P, A, S, M) 
Resistance
3 - a class that is waterproof and shockproof and its characteristics as a weaker or stronger class komapktnih appliances.

 

 

Can I follow digital photography program with a compact digital camera?

School of photography can be followed with all types of cameras, although DSLR cammera willl provide the most opportunities for learning, advancement and enjoyment of the work. Prosumer be 90% of what DSLR can, and that is also a good choice. Compact digital camera also provide opportunities for student learning. Although you might need to know that over the program of 4 months, that can happen, that 1-3 classes can not followed on the compact camera (depends from each model). Even in that case, recommended is the same "Digital photography program" - becouse the students has the possibility to work with DSLR cammeras from other students, so, later student can decide whether he/she need possibilities of DSLR - and to bay it or to continue using tha same compact camera. First month of begginer photography program can be followed even with a mobilephone camera, because learning and working technique of photography starts from second month.
