Cameras

Since the increase in the use of digital cameras there has been an ever growing argument over their use in paranormal investigation. This is due to the images that they produce. The main argument against them is that they do not produce a negative film. The problem with this is you can't prove that the picture has not been altered in any way as the negative shows what the camera sees. Another problem with digital cameras is the compact size of some cameras. The small size means that the flash can be too close to the lens. This can produce fake orbs in certain conditions (e.g. dust or rain causing particles in the air). The other side of the argument is that digital cameras are more sensitive to infra-red light - a light invisible to humans. There are theories that orbs are within the infra-red spectrum. This means digital cameras can pick them up with less difficulty. The best digital cameras to use are larger cameras with the flash postioned a distance from the lens. We have found good digital camera to start with (that is not to expensive) is the Fuji Finepix S3000. You can find more information on this camera by clicking on the following link: Many paranormal investigators use 35mm cameras as they give a negative. This can prove that the picture has not been altered in any way. One of the downsides to using 35mm is the cost of the films and development of the pictures as many investigators take hundreds of pictures on each investigation and it can prove very expensive.
