Behavior I expect professional and mature behavior. I will not tolerate anything else. This is not limited to behavior in the classroom, but also includes the use of equipment and subject matter in artwork.

Required Supplies Must have a Digital Camera! You are responsible for the care of your equipment. You must have a working camera! I do not have alternate assignments.

Types of Digital Cameras Basic Cameras • Subcompacts • Compacts • Superzooms Students take notes

Subcompacts • Subcompacts fit in a pocket, are lightweight but generally have few manual controls. A few include nontelescoping zoom lenses, and others have zooms as high as 14 x.

Compacts • Compacts are a bit larger, and often have more manual controls than subcompacts.

Superzooms • Superzooms offer 15 x or greater zoom, with some recent models including optical zooms as great as 35 x. Like compacts, superzooms often, though not always, include manual controls.

Types of Digital Cameras Advanced Cameras • Advanced point and shoots • SLR like • SLR

Advanced point and shoots • Advanced point-and-shoots have a nondetachable lens but differ from basic models because they have lots of manual controls, a hot shoe for an external flash, and support for RAW files. It's the lightest advanced type.

SLR like • SLR-like models have interchangeable lenses, but they lack a through-the-lens viewfinder. They're smaller and lighter than an SLR but usually larger than a point-and-shoot.

SLR • SLRs have the most features, with interchangeable lenses and the largest sensors for the best image quality in low light, and a through-the lens viewfinder. Controls are extensive. They're also the heaviest, most expensive cameras.

An APS-C format SLR (left) and a full-frame DSLR (right) show the difference in the size of the image sensors.
