Not sure about which type of camera to use?
We have two types of cameras here in the Media Center - digital single lens reflex (DSLR) and Point and Shoot cameras. There are many differences between these two types of cameras, and serve distinct purposes. In general, the point and shoot camera would be used for everyday photography. You get good quality images with little to know effort on the part of the photographer. DSLR cameras are better suited for experienced photographers who want to produce professional-quality images and those who want more control over what the camera is doing when the shutter button is pressed. Both will shoot video to varying degrees of success. The Media Center always recommends a video camera over a photography camera for better control of video capture.

We use Adobe Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop for working with photos in the Media Center.
