    Modern camera lenses are typically coated with hard materials or are totally made of tougher materials allowing hassle free camera use. From sapphires and even diamonds, optics has gone a long way since the camera was invented. But sooner or later a dirty lens would surely pop your way and a need to wipe it clean would be a necessity.
    So how do you effectively and more importantly safely clean the lens of a digital camera? For motorized lenses(those that move in and out when you zoom in or out), with extreme care for a damaged gear can mean expensive repairs. Choose a good purpose built cleaning cloth that is lint free, will not scratch your lens and yet is reusable after a good wash. Some even come with solutions that not only clean the lens but leaves it free of dust.

    Lenses and filters are available for a myriad of applications for DSLR camera owners. They have the same function as professional cameras of days gone by, only smarter. With built in auto focus motors and more precise parts, they do get better pictures compared to point and shoot cameras.

    For the hardcore camera aficionado, owning the thingy with a brush on one end and a bulb on the other is a must. It allows dusting your prized lenses without actually touching the lens itself preventing ugly scratches and smudges unseen with the naked eye.

    It may seem clean but an unseen smudge can bend light in a variety of ways leaving you with a totally ruined shot. The brush softly brushes away the dust from the lenses surface while pressing the bulb as you go blows it away. Best to do this each and every time you use the camera so you get crisp and clear shots every time. One more thing, do use the lens cap(the name suggest its proper use) for it saves on a lot of cleaning due to fingerprints and dust.

    Note unique features. As the competition between high-performance cameras heats up, manufacturers are adding features. Sensor or software-based dust removal, 2.5-inch or larger LCDs, software, and image stabilization, either in-camera or in-lens, are becoming regular attributes. Face detection, the ability to automatically find and lock in on faces to keep them in focus and properly exposed, is relatively new; the Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd SLR-like offers it. Some SLR digital cameras have live-view LCDs similar to those found on smaller cameras. Nikon’s D40 is one of the first SLR digital cameras to offer in-camera retouching, which lets you apply a variety of cosmetic effects.

    Review specs. Big cameras with 10-megapixel resolution are becoming more common and less expensive, but 6 to 8 megapixels should suffice unless you crop images a lot or make poster-sized prints. Three or more auto-focus zones is a big plus; some SLR-like cameras have only one, which obliges you to recompose your shot every time your subject moves within the frame. Spot metering, on most large models, lets you meter on portions of the image with cutting edge precision. With an SLR-like camera, a maximum f-number of f22 or greater is critical for shots that demand a great depth of field.

    Assess the lens. Most SLR digital cameras are sold as a body only or with a kit lens, typically an 18-mm to 55-mm model. But many lenses that you can buy separately, or choose as an optional upgrade, are better than kit lenses. With an SLR-like camera, there’s no choice in lenses. Ensure that the shortest focal length of the lens is equivalent of 28 mm or less, for landscapes or tight shots of groups. Look for one whose widest aperture setting at its maximum zoom (larger figure of the two f-numbers usually given in lens specs) is below f5 or, better, below f4.
