In the hands of a good photographer, a compact (or point-and-shoot) camera can capture excellent images. But only a few of these cameras are worthy of a pro or advanced amateur photographer. Find out how you can reduce your load and still get publishable pictures with the Canon G11, Panasonic LX-3, Nikon P6000 and Canon S90.
Should you protect your lens with a filter? UV/Haze and Skylight filters are commonly used to protect lenses, but keeping a filter on your lens all the time can lead to poorer-quality images. It might be best to use these filters only when they are needed and turn to lens hoods for protection that doesn’t affect your pictures.
Photographing outdoors? Use a polarizing filter. Software filters can simulate some of the effects of a polarizer, but only a polarizer on the end of your lens can cut glare and reflections. The result is more saturated color, better contrast and better pictures.
