Is it humiliating to take a picture with a card camera?

I don't know if you have found that whether people travel or sweep the street, they are either a mobile phone with excellent image performance, or a professional micro bill and SLR camera 。 Now, would it be humiliating to take photos with a card camera? In fact, it's not true, because the performance of card cameras is far different from what people think. What's more, the rise of short videos has ushered in the second spring of card cameras.

01 How strong are today's card cameras?

What has the card camera improved? The author summarizes three aspects.

The first is the core sensor. The card camera in our concept is still a product with poor image quality, which is no different from low-end mobile phones. The current mainstream card camera sensor has been upgraded to 1 inch, even APS-C frame and full frame. As the saying goes, the bottom is the sensor.

The improvement of sensors can significantly improve the image quality, that is, the details of the image are presented more clearly, the sharpness of the details of the image is better, and the noise control ability at night is better. The photos we see in daily life simply have greater demands on these aspects.

The second is the zoom of the lens. Now the best mobile camera is the 10x optical zoom, but the number of products is very rare, and the price is significantly higher than that of card cameras of the same specification. Most of the lenses equipped with card cameras also have at least 5x optical zoom capability, which is obviously superior to mobile phones at the same price.

The third is video capability. If the video capability of current cameras is not outstanding, they are too shy to sell them to users. Today's card cameras generally support 4K video shooting, and their performance in focusing and focusing is also excellent, so video shooting has become the core competitiveness of card cameras.

Of course, there is another point we will not summarize, that is, the portability of the card camera. The size of mobile phones is growing, while the size and weight of card cameras have remained the same for many years. In fact, the current mainstream card cameras are smaller, thicker and heavier than mobile phones, but they are very limited, so carrying them out is basically like carrying mobile phones.

02 What are the categories of card cameras?

1、 Professional photographer standby

For professional photographers, the choice of standby camera must be light, but also have the characteristics of high image quality. At present, there are also some APS-C frame and full frame models of card cameras, which can fully meet the needs of professional photographers.

For example, Canon's G1 X Mark III is a card camera with APS-C frame, Sony RX10 M4 is a full frame card camera. This kind of product is very small, but the main feature is the extreme picture quality experience with a lighter camera.

2、 Short video artifact

Short video is one of the most popular and fastest growing industries. Many people have entered the industry in order to share the dividends of short videos. The most economical way to shoot short videos is to use a card camera, which not only has excellent 4K video quality, but also has rich details and excellent lens configuration.

In this field, such as Canon G7 X Mark III, Canon G5 X Mark II Sony RX100 Mark 7、 Sony ZV1 And other products are very consistent with the demand.

3、 Large aperture fixed focus lens

In fact, whether it is a card camera or a micro single camera, there are some niche products on the market that are equipped with large aperture fixed focus lenses, focusing on the characteristics of high image quality and large aperture. For example, Ricoh GR III Fuji XF10 Etc.

4、 Ordinary household camera

The last category, in fact, is the more popular ordinary household card cameras. This category of products has a low sales volume because of the impact of mobile phones. This type of card camera does not have very prominent features, but is relatively balanced in adjustment. It can be said that all functions are available, but they are not the best.

03 Is it still shameful to use card cameras to operate short videos to make money?

In fact, taking pictures with a card camera is not humiliating. It's like driving a car worth tens of thousands of yuan, which is not humiliating at all. It's just a transportation tool, but your car is not as beautiful as millions of yuan.

Not only is it not humiliating, but now card cameras have a larger market. The rapid rise of the short video and live broadcast industry, and the dividends brought by the video platforms such as Tiaoyin, Station B, JD, Tmall, etc., have led people to devote themselves to the short video and live broadcast industry. After all, in the era of economic difficulties, there are new ways to make money. Many people have started their own attempts, and many have already tasted the benefits.

If you want to profit from short videos and live broadcasts, the quality of videos cannot be too poor. If you want excellent video quality, you can't shoot with your mobile phone. You can see the video of dithering and big V on station B, which one is not shot with a camera and a stabilizer? For individuals without studios and promotion teams, the lowest shooting cost is to use card cameras. Almost all of the big digital video players around me use card cameras to shoot short videos.

The lens focal section of the card camera is enough to use, the 4K video format brings rich details, and the camera's large size sensor brings excellent image quality. This video is also very comfortable to watch. So we often see people in some places using card cameras to shoot around and around. Maybe it's the big V behind the video number.

For ordinary users, the price of card cameras is very cheap (compared with SLR and micro single cameras). They are very light and compact. The picture quality and video function of mobile phones at the same price are really good.
