You won’t believe what a low-tech camera can do

The most advanced digital camera soon to come out in the market, according to one popular gadget magazine, will have 13 megapixels of solid high definition, image recording capability. Of course, with such capability, no doubt it will not come out cheap. If it is any consolation, however, manufacturers are trying their best to make these high performance products more accessible to a wider range of consumers.

I do not believe though that people should go about buying these high tech tools just because they have become more affordable. Price should not be the only consideration, lest one ends up not being able to maximize the capability of the gadget. It is interesting to note, for example, how high tech phones have become a fad in the Philippines even though its most common usage has not really gone beyond texting and picture taking. Seriously, how many can actually program their symbian phones to work like a pocket computer?

This is going back to basics, so to speak. I bet you won’t believe what small wonders a low-tech 1.3-megapixel camera can do.
