As technology improves, a Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera nowadays is cheaper to get especially when we are talking about Digital SLR (DSLR). DSLR is a camera with a digital sensor that records images digitally, replacing film used in traditional SLR. DSLR are generally bigger, heavier and more expensive as compared to compact or "point and shoot" camera, widely available in the market now. But following are a few reasons and comparisons which might change your mind to get a DSLR instead!

When you hold on to a DSLR, no doubt it would be heavier than compact cameras. But you would definitely feel that the grip, feel and hold are much better. Try experiment the difference between shooting using a compact camera and a DSLR. You would immediately feel that shooting with a DSLR would provide a firmer and more comfortable grip. Also, important photography functions like White Balance, ISO, Aperture, Metering Modes, etc are easily assessable in a DSLR. That is provided if a compact camera have these functions too. Do this simple experiment yourself (between a DSLR and compact camera) and you will totally understand and agree with me.

Unlike any compact camera, you are able to detach and change the lens from the body of a SLR to give a variance field of view. Thus unlike a compact camera, you would not be limited by the field of view available by the brand and model. Although the lenses of the SLR are expensive but as technology progress, these lenses (for DSLR) are less expensive to get nowadays. There are a wide range of lenses available, example fisheyes, wide angle, telephoto, macro, etc. You could choose to get the necessary lens suitable to the area of photography you like.

One big advantage a DSLR had over compact camera is the response time. The start-up time (from Off to On state) of the DSLR is usually a fraction of a second. This would ensure that you would not miss a shot when needed, which I believe you would encounter frequently when using a compact camera. A DSLR allows you to shoot a continuous burst of pictures at high speed which is an excellent feature for fast moving subjects. The Auto-Focus of a DSLR is definitely much faster, more accurate and thus controllable.

The image quality from a DSLR is much better as compared to a compact camera. Also, for the same reason, a compact camera would produce are more noisy picture as compared to a DSLR of the same ISO. This is due to the smaller sensor size of the compact camera as compared to a DSLR, even if they are of the same pixel resolution. The surface area of a DSLR sensor is much bigger compared to compact camera and therefore they have better light gathering ability. With this, a stronger signal is achieved and thus garners better Signal to Noise Ratio. On top of that, a DSLR is capable of recording images in an uncompressed RAW format which allows you to process the image yourself later in custom software which could enhance the results of your picture.

Above are some of the major reasons and differences on why you should get a DSLR if you are keen in photography. Many beginners worried that they would not know how to use a DSLR due to their complex features and etc. Fear not as new entry level DSLR is very user-friendly and easy to use. A lot of photography information is also widely available in the internet and you can join reputable photography forum to learn from others experiences and ask questions.

Major Features of the Nikon D300 (Body)

New DX-format CMOS image sensor with 12.3 effective megapixels
The D300 features a new 12.3 effective megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor. It not only produces fine details with sharp resolution, but also provides a broad light sensitivity range of ISO 200 to ISO 3200, (plus LO 1 for IS0 100 equivalent and HI 1 for IS0 6400 equivalent settings; Auto ISO control is also available). The CMOS sensor's integrated A/D converter features the ability to select between 12-bit and 14-bit conversion, making it possible to shoot using high-quality 14-bit NEF (RAW) format. All internal processing is handled in full 16-bit color, color, benefiting from a fine balance between performance with outstanding speed that defies this level of precision and natural-looking images that benefit from faithful color and tone reproduction. Lateral chromatic aberration is also reduced.

I Just bought a SLR body. What do I need to get started?

I Bought a Pentax K10d yesterday.

I am really new to the photo world. I have no lens or anything just the body.

Where do I start? Help Me Please.

Obviously you need a lens and probably some SD memory cards, at least 1 to 2Gb capacity.

Pentax DSLRs will use any lens ever made for Pentax K mount and they started making them in 1975, so there are a lot of second hand lenses out there, as well as new ones. They are not bargains because existing Pentax owners, like me, have snapped up the best of them. But they still may come on the market.

Your lens choice is dictated to a certain extent by what you intend to photograph, but at this early stage you may not have special subject.

Probably a general purpose zoom is a good idea for a first lens, then you can specialize later.

My Pentax *istDS came with a Sigma 18-125mm zoom and I found it to be a good general purpose lens, particularly at the wide angle end of the zoom range. Not a great lens but reasonable.

The normal Pentax kit lens, the 18-55mm zoom is also a good performer for the money, unlike many standard zooms from other companys . It is sharp in the,middle but slightly soft at the edges. Ideal for portraits and subjects where the middle of the image is all important.

For professional quality I prefer to use Pentax DA* lenses as they have the weather proofing to go with weather proofing of the K10D body and offer superb image quality.

Review: Fujifilm FinePix HS10 ultrazoom
Ultrazoom, non-DSLR cameras have almost always been exercises in compromise. They can shoot long distances, but the optical quality often takes a dive to reach such extreme lengths, and the control is rarely any better than on a point-and-shoot costing half the price. Fujifilm's FinePix HS10 tries to change that with sensor tricks to improve quality and controls you'd normally expect only on an ...
