Consider Digital SLR
If you??™re an advanced hobbyist or a professional photographer making the
switch to digital, a digital SLR is the logical camera to choose. Digital SLRs
function just like their film-carrying brethren. In fact, if you currently own a
35-mm SLR, you may be able to use your current lenses with a digital SLR by
the same manufacturer. Digital SLRs feature interchangeable lenses, on-camera
flash, and advanced shooting modes that you can use to creatively photograph
the world around you. Some digital SLRs feature anti-dust technology. As of
this writing, Sony and Pentax are the first manufacturers to feature on-camera
image-stabilization, which enables you to get sharp shots at slower shutter
speeds. You can accessorize your camera by purchasing lenses, filters, offcamera
flashes, and more. These cameras range in price from $700 to $4500.
TIP
Many cameras have a hard time focusing in low-light
situations. You can overcome this obstacle by choosing a
camera that gives you the ability to focus manually.
TIP
If you??™re considering a camera with a through-the-lens
electronic viewfinder, point the camera toward a bright
light source, and view the scene through the viewfinder.
