Who could possibly want an EVIL camera? Many people, it turns out, are in the market for such a device.

From the name, it would seem there is something very sinister about these cameras, as if they could actually steal souls or vaporize subjects.

In actuality, there is nothing nefarious about EVIL cameras. The term is simply an acronym similar to SLR (Single Lens Reflex). EVIL stands for Electronic Viewfinder, Interchangeable Lens.

Depending on your point of view, the term is either an unfortunate nickname or a clever play on words. Regardless, EVIL cameras are set to make a big splash in the coming years.

The EVIL models are designed to occupy the market between inexpensive point and shoot cameras and top-line dSLRs. Again depending on your orientation, they are either a waste of time or the type of cameras the photo industry should have built long ago,

Advantages of EVIL Cameras:

Size and Weight

EVIL models are much smaller than the typical dSLR. They are also lighter to carry, something many photographers would appreciate after a long day of schlepping camera gear around.

DSLR Sensor size

Not all of the EVIL cameras have big sensors, but many of the new models use the same size and type of sensor as a typical dSLR. Larger sensors mean less noise and better image quality. The result is a camera the size of a large point and shoot which offers the image quality of a dSLR.

Interchangeable Lenses

While these new mid-range cameras look similar to their point and shoot brethren, the fact that they can accept a full range of lenses provides options and flexibility that fixed-lens cameras cannot match.

Advanced Features

Some camera makers are positioning these new models as a replacements for low-end dSLRs. To assume this role, these cameras require dSLR features such as RAW image creation, manual exposure options, burst mode, high-ISO settings and the like.

EVIL cameras do not look like a professional camera

Many people are nervous around photographers with pro-level cameras. Sports and concert venues may discourage dSLRs to eliminate unauthorized photos. The person with an EVIL camera will look like an ordinary fan or tourist, allowing them to gather photos unobtrusively.

This works both ways, however. Someone with a dSLR will appear more professional and may garner more paying assignments if they want to sell their work.

EVIL Cameras drawbacks:

No eve-level viewfinder

The biggest limitation of the basic EVIL design is the lack of an eye-level viewfinder. To compose and shoot you must use the LCD on the back of the camera. This might work with simple point and shoot cameras, but there could be severe limitations when using long telephoto lenses. Imagine affixing a twelve inch long lens on one of these cameras. To shoot hand-held, you would have to hold the camera body at arm's length, with that huge, heavy lens protruding out the front. Good luck holding that steady.

Another disadvantage is that many LCD panels are difficult to see in bright sunlight. Composing and focusing in full sun might be difficult.

Fortunately, some camera manufacturers are offering auxiliary eye-level viewfinders for their electronic viewfinder entries.. These allow you to hold an EVIL camera up to your eye, much like a conventional dSLR. This a step in the right direction, although many photographers will still prefer the look of an optical viewfinder over an electronic one.

Lack of advanced dSLR features

While EVIL cameras vary by manufacturers, the feature list usually falls short of a dSLR. Naturally, camera makers will add features if they sense consumer demand. At the same time, the smaller form-factor of these cameras makes it more difficult to include all the features of a dSLR.

Lens/Accessories not as extensive as dSLR systems

Most dSLR lines are fairly mature, with a complete system of lenses, flash units and accessories. EVIL camera designs are new, and their systems are smaller and less-complete. Over time, successful EVIL systems will mature and expand. If you choose a model that fails to gain traction in the marketplace however, you may find yourself limited and frustrated by the lack of available attachments.

Interchangeability between EVIL and dSLR models is limited

Some EVIL cameras can use SLR lenses and flash units, making them attractive as a second body or as a backup to an existing dSLR system. Because the EVIL bodies are so small, the sensor is usually too close to the lens mount to allow dSLR lenses to attach directly. An adapter may allow you to use your SLR lenses, but adapters generally involve some form of compromise.

Prices are not much different than an actual dSLR

As dSLR prices continue to fall, there isn't much difference between the cost of a dLSR and an EVIL camera. In fact, when you add items like an accessory electronic viewfinder, the EVIL camera may cost significantly more. The new designs are smaller and lighter, but the dSLR has more features. There are many reasons to prefer one type over the other, but price is not one of them.

EVIL accessories may not transfer if you want to upgrade to a dSLR

A point and shoot camera is generally complete by itself, so a photographer who wants to advance to a high-quality dSLR has no legacy equipment to lock them into a specific system. If someone assembles a complete EVIL system, with several lenses and accessories, they will have to start all over again if they want to move to a dSLR. This may end up trapping some photographers into the EVIL system, because they have too much invested. Upgrading to dSLR equipment may be too costly.

EVIL cameras aren't bad, they are just different. Whether you should own one depends on your photographic aspirations, your photography requirements and your philosophy. They won't replace a dSLR or a point and shoot in every situation, but an EVIL camera might just be a "good" option for you.

Help Yourself: Cheap Digital Camera Cleaning

If you have been using your digital camera for quite a while, you can easily view dark silhouette of the camera's sensor grime. This is due to the impact of dust as well as detritus that have settled inside the body of the camera. The presence of dust particles can be easily evident by having a close look at the captured images along with permanent fuzzing. However, some of the latest digital cameras offer auto-cleansing modes to help your camera overcome this situation.

How can you clean your digital camera sensor?

You can buy any good brand DSLR product to identify and remove the debris. If you are unsure of a DSLR, you can also start with a normal swab-and-fluid kit before moving on to the other gadgets. A digital survival kit can prove to be handy as it comes with a no-frills approach and is economical. However you need to be completely sure to use the right kit as some of the fluids often react in a hostile manner to some of the sensors.

If you are unsure about the right kind of products to be used with your digital camera then you must visit the website of the camera manufacturer to find the right kit. If the lenses are not delivering the results then there is no point in cleaning the sensor. You can use a blower to puff the debris followed with a nonabrasive cloth cleaning process.

Do not use the liquid cleansers or an off-the-shelf household cleaner as they tend to damage the lens coatings. Always look for the thin lines and translucent droplets on the sensor. You can also manually clean the camera but make sure to fully charge it or use an AC adapter. Any dust particle or swab on the sensor can be easily cleaned off by using a squeeze-bulb blow. If you feel any difficulty in cleaning, please stop immediately and get it repaired from an expert.

Now that we have learnt some valuable lessons to clean our digital camera, let us now proceed to some of the eminent names in the world of digital camera technology followed by some of the advanced camera models.

Canon, Nikon and Sony are some of the most reputed names in the digital camera market. If you are looking for a high quality yet cheap digital camera, you can go for the Canon Digital Cameras such as the Canon PowerShot A570IS, Canon Digital IXUS70 and Canon Digital IXUS 850IS. These Canon digital cameras deliver seamless, advanced and smart solutions with complete ease and total perfection.

Get smart, act now and bring how a smart and cheap digital camera.

What camera works best for photographing children?

I am looking for an advanced camera that will be able to capture my 13 month boy's actions. I am not ready for a DSLR. I have researched the Canon SX10 and Panasonic Lumix FZ28. I am not sure if these will give me what I am looking for. I am looking for the fastest aperture possible, I always seem to miss the cute moments with my small point and shoot.

Well, you have a problem.

All P&S cameras have some level of shutter lag, from 0.8 sec to over 3 seconds when using the cameras flash.

Shooting children is like shooting action or sports. You have to have a responsive camera, on whose shutter lag is measured in milliseconds ... this means some kind of DSLR.

Aperture has nothing to do with the shutter lag intrinsic to each camera model. The aperture will help with achieving the highest shutter speed in any given lighting situation, but the shutter lag will remain the same.
