Types of Digital Cameras


    Before choosing a camera many people will ask, what is the best camera to buy?,While those
    are logical questions to ask, it is more important to first know what types of digital
    cameras are on 
    the market. Take a look at each of the categories below and you should be able
     to determine which is the best 
    type of camera for you.

    This tutorial will give you general information about the different  types of digital cameras on the
    market  for  
    consumers. If you need a little more detailed information about each type of camera,
    check the tutorial for that  
    specific camera category.

    Digital Slr Cameras: (aka  Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras or DSLR cameras):
     Digital SLR 
    cameras are the most versatile and advanced type cameras available on the
    consumer market.


    The first thing you will notice about a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera is
    that it is larger than any compact consumer camera and putting one in your
    pocket is out of the question. The Canon EOS Rebel T5i  or the  Nikon D3300   are examples of
    good quality affordable Digital Slr
     cameras.


    When using a Digital Slr camera you can set the camera to the
    automatic 
    mode and just start taking pictures. However, you also have
    the option of 
    taking pictures in the full manual mode, Aperture Priority,
     Shutter Priority
    , orprogram modes.

    The most important thing to remember about using a Digital Single
    Lens 
    Reflex camera is that you have more control over the way the
     picture will be 
    taken as far as exposure settings.

    Another important feature of Digital Slr cameras is that you can change
     the  camera
     lens to fit different situations.

American Music Awards 2015: Winners Liste

 AMA

The Weeknd won the evening's first award as his Beauty Behind the Madness took home the Favorite Soul/R&B Album award, a category that was presented by a guitar-toting Prince. Abel Testfaye later picked up the American Music Award in the Favorite Soul/R&B Artist – Male category and also performed "The Hills" during the ceremony.
Nicki Minaj's The Pinkprint's snagged the Favorite Hip-Hop Album award, marking the third time the rapper had won in that category. She followed that up by winning Favorite Hip-Hop Artist for the third time as well.
Other notable winners include Sam Hunt's surprise New Artist of the Year victory over the Weeknd and Fetty Wap, plus Fall Out Boy securing Favorite Alternative Rock Band, Skrillex, Diplo and Justin Bieber's Collaboration of the Year win and Ariana Grande's Favorite Pop/Rock Female victory, which the singer shared with her very excited grandmother.
The main draw of the AMAs, however, are the musical performances, and there was no shortage of star power on the ceremony's stage this time around. The ceremony opened with host Jennifer Lopez and an army of dancers grooving to a 10-minute megamix of 2015's biggest hits, from Fetty Wap and Taylor Swift to Ed Sheeran and the Weeknd. That was followed by 5 Seconds of Summer's Duran Duran-inspired "Hey Everybody!," Selena Gomez's vampy "Same Old Love" and Nick Jonas' show-stopping medley. 
Other highlights included Alanis Morissette performing Jagged Little Pill's "You Oughta Know" with Demi Lovato, the debut of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' powerful addiction ballad "Kevin" with Leon Bridges, Gwen Stefani sharing her breakup anthem "Used to Love You," Pentatonix's Star Wars tribute and Justin Bieber's ceremony-ending, rain-soaked victory lap.
However, the most moving moment of the AMAs came when Celine Dion delivered a stunning rendition of Edith Piaf's "Hymne A L'amour" to remember all those killed and injured in the Paris terror attacks. The performance was preceded by a moving speech by Jared Leto, who implored Americans not to shut our borders to Syrian immigrants in the aftermath of the terror attacks.
