Digital SLR Cameras
This past week I finally got a chance to play around with a digital SRL camera. My father in law owns both a Canon Digital Rebel and a Nikon D70 and he has been letting me play around with the Rebel all week. The Rebel is by far much nicer then my Canon S40 that I have been using the last two years. Amazingly the Rebel costs the same as my S40 did just two years ago, back then the digital SLR’s were in the $5k range if I remember correctly.
The big thing that you notice is that when you press the shutter button it actually takes the picture without any delay. On my S40 there is always a delay that causes me to miss a lot of shots because it fires a bit late. With this camera it just works.
I suspect I will need to look into getting one of these soon. Of course I will then need to do some research on photography as having that nice a camera and not knowing how to use all the options would be a crime. ;-) Right now I only understand the basics but I suspect that would not take long to remedy!
