DSLR
Many years back when handphone was the "in" thing, it was common to see people holding their handphone on their hands everywhere they go. Nowadays you don't get to see people doing that, instead you see big bulky DSLR cameras on the neck. It is no wonder that camera manufacturers are targeting the amateur market by featuring international stars like Ken Watanabe (Canon), Takuya Kimura (Nikon) in their advertisment.
Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR)
So what does the Digital Single Lens Reflex means, it basically means that the user is using the same lens for both viewing and taking of pictures.
How it works
In the camera itself, lies a mirror which directs the light from the lens up into a prism for viewing, which then flips out of the way just before an exposure is made. Which means you will be seeing what the sensor will see, regardless of whatever lens or filters you have.
Advantages:
-Excellent image quality (especially in low lighting)
-Larger sensor
-Interchangeable lenses
-More controls
-Shallow depth of field
-Wide angle shot
Disadvantages:
-Bulky and heavy
-High price tag
-High maintenance
The reason why DSLR camera are able to produce images with excellent quality is mainly due to the larger sensor they have compared to Point and Shoot cameras. Another advantage DSLR camera has over most PnS camera is that it has a near zero lag time. This is especially useful for capturing moving image and exact moment.
DSLR cameras also offers more control from choosing a suitable ISO to focus points. With a DSLR and a correct lens, you are able to obtain a shallow depth of field, thus isolating your subject from the background. This makes the background blurry and puts more focus on the subject itself.
Then again, a common misconception is that one can only create professional looking pictures with a professional camera like a DSLR, which is totally not true. It is totally up to the shooter's creativity, technique and skills. However the right equipment does makes it easier, faster and more convenient to obtain the results needed.

Instant Camera
Ever heard of "Polaroid"?
Polaroid is a notable producer of instant cameras and has been producing them since 1940s. Sadly, they have stopped production of the films and the only remaining supplier of instant film now is Fujifilm.

What is an instant camera?
It is a camera loaded with self-developing film which will produce a printed picture within minutes after it is taken. Therefore the photos cannot be altered after being shot, so it is best to have a shooter with good composition.
Advantages
-Easy to operate with few controls.
-An instant keepsake.
Disadvanatges
-Expensive films.
-Bigger body size.
-Mediocre picture quality.
Shooting Techniques
Don't you hate it when the photographs you took came out to be blurry. This can be due to incorrect shooting technique or posture.
Tips:
1. Always try to use two hands to shoot. It increases stability. Do not grip onto your camera too tightly, the nerve/muscle movement will cause your camera to move around even more.
2. Bring your hand close to your chest. I always see many people taking photos with their hands reaching out which cause the camera to move around.
3. If possible look out to objects you can lean your body or hand onto. This causes your body and hand to be more stable.
4. The best way is of course to use a tripod. The slightest movement of the camera can cause the photograph to be blurry. This is especially so for low light situations where the shutter is open for a longer period of time.
Technique:
1. Bring your hands close to your chest,
2. Before depressing on the shuttle.
3. Take a small breath and hold it.
4. Depress the shuttle button, then exhale.
Well it may varies, what works for some might not work for others. So long as your are comfortable with your own technique, happy shooting!
