The modern DSLR is an altrnative to the SLR film camera, as it gives you instant results. I have my Nikon film camera and spent many hours in my darkroom developing the film and exposing my images on the enlarger.
Photography, and Videography, are the ability to manipulate light, you craft your world, through your camera's lens, as that is what photography is, capturing a moment in time, or a video, of some event, for your families holiday, maybe a birthday, to keep that moment in time, to create a story. With a DSLR you also can put the camera into Manual mode, either by using aperture priority or shutter speed. To download the Images out of your DSLR or Video camera, depending on what you shoot, you will require the right software to handle the images or data, in a computer. AdobeCC is normally the name that comes to mind with ideas, as Photoshop is highly regarded in this area, there is definitely other software out there, to handle this job, including Black Magic's Devinci resolve NCH Which also has an excellent range of editing software at very reasonable prices and Linux software, which is free, with Kdenlive being stable video editing software.
One of the biggest issues you will face with digital photography or video production is the processing power needed from your computer to edit your vision, this is regardless, of whether it is a photographic image, preferably as a RAW file or a video file, of course, the very nature of video files, 24 or more frames per second, produces massive files, so as the file sizes you are dealing with are getting bigger you will need bigger HDD's, to store your files or data on. this also gets multiplied when you purchase newer cameras with more significant image devices, you will need, more extensive storage. and the faster the computer has to be to manage the data when we say faster computer, we mean the CPU or Central Processing Unit and don't forget the Random Access Memory, just enough will not do, give your CPU space to work with at least 16 gigabytes of memory, better to have more, for your system to handle the data, with data there is simply no trade-off with either software, or hardware to handle the file sizes from AdobeCC or Divinci Resolve, the latter being from Blackmagic Design, which equates directly to bigger Hard Drives, or SSD's (Solid State Drives) These are the devices your data is stored on, SSD's are swift with Data, as there are no moving parts. Black Magic Design, designs and produces equipment to work with video production. For a magazine based on Video production, I highly recommend this Australian-produced Magazine.
Video production, is a technical subject, with a lot of gadgets and software to help you to achieve your final goal, a video production that helps you tell a story.
The modern DSLR is also fully capable of shooting High definition video and with the addition of accessories, can be completely set up to do so, I recently purchased an external monitor to go on the camera, oh what a difference that makes. The HDMI monitor also supplies you with an audio monitor output, so plug in a set of headphones, and monitor the camera's audio playback.
Gopro9, anybody who is into action videography/photography, knows how brilliant these cameras are, I purchased gopro4 years ago, and recently purchased a gopro9, and am totally impressed with the new one. Even though they both have excellent sound quality, the GoPro 4 requires an external mike to be plugged into it, I use a USB lapel mike, which is excellent, On relatively calm days the sound quality is really good, with no wind, but when it gets windy, there is the wind rumble issue, the two built-in microphones do not have any wind cover, however, I did some thinking and I came up with a simple answer to the problem and it works very well and is cheap, the answer door seal or weather seal foam strips, it has the sticky strip on the back. I just had to nip a bit out the back, to make certain it did not interfere with the sound. Works very well, GoPro does offer an accessory that fits to the camera, where you get to have an external mike, for around $119.oo I will be getting one.
