While buying an action camera you need to check on various factors starting from the resolution capacity to the shooting rate. There are some important points to consider like the megapixels you need. For the picture to be clear and candid, it is sufficient to have size of 8MP or a little more. Too many pixels can cause grainy photos.
Quality of Lens
The vital part of a camera is the lens which can be
- A point and shoot type that is endowed with an inbuilt lens or
- The camera is equipped with interchangeable lens feature
Lens opening
Next to the quality, the aperture or lens opening size is an important point to check on. Cameras with maximum aperture let more amount of light to hit on the sensor. This will result in sharp, candid and bright images even in dark conditions. The wide aperture also aids in blurring the background in portrait mode giving more detail to the subject.
Stabilization of image
Action cameras need optical stabilization, as it reduces the blur caused by movement. Digital stabilization software loaded in the camera will correct any blur created. This does not produce as clear an image as with optical stabilization, but the cameras that have the digital feature are cheaper.
Another important part is the sensor that changes the light signals into electronic version and form the picture. Bigger sensors allow an increased use of megapixels, which can capture light more substantially. There are many other factors like the focal length, ISO rating etc. which should be looked into, before you choose the action camera you need.
