Hyperfocal distance is the art in photography of achieving as much sharpness as possible throughout the image. In other words, it involves careful focusing adjustments to ensure that objects close to the camera and objects in the distance all have the same sharp focus, but more accurately, the hyperfocal distance is that point of focus where things are in focus from a point half way between you and the focal point all the way onward to infinity. Hyper-focal distance is more of a landscape photographer’s concept. When shooting landscapes, I never use auto-focus.

This site is all about creating great images from a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex camera). So what should you look for if you are buying one?

The question is very pertinent as there are a lot of very good DSLRs on the market these days. Ten years ago, it wasn’t even worth buying the best DSLR because the quality didn’t compare to film. But in many ways, digital technology has surpassed film.
