Point-and-shoot Camera Vs Cheap Digital Slr Camera

Just about any camera that you buy is an investment

, whether it is an inexpensive point-and-shoot model or perhaps a cheap digital SLR camera. If you happen to be one of those who has resisted going digital, you are in luck, because technology has improved vastly over the last few years, and you really can't miss making a good investment. You will be saving a ton of money on lab costs and film development. But which one do you choose?

Assuming that you're fairly new to photography, it is recommended that you choose a digital camera that won't bankrupt you or cause you to put up your firstborn as collateral. The good news is that while you waited prices have come down. There are not many areas where this is true, but photography and photographic equipment have truly gotten more economical over the past few years.

Once you do get your new camera, you will be able to start clicking right away and do your pictures instantly. This is different from film cameras in that you do not have to send them off to the lab and wait for them to find out if you had a good one or you're wasting your money printing horrible photos. You can just view the photos in the LCD panel and decide which ones to keep and which ones to delete. This simple process helps you to become a better photographer, because as you see your mistakes you can correct them on the spot.

Many people who are buying these days are going immediately into the cheap Digital SLR camera market, and by passing the point-and-shoot models altogether. The reason they are doing this is again attributed to the fall in prices. Where the most inexpensive digital SLR cameras used to be well over $1000, they are less than half that at this point. So new buyers are now reconsidering and adding just a couple hundred dollars more and getting a much better piece of equipment.

One of the most common reasons for people to buy a better camera is that it no longer takes a college education to figure out how to use the thing. The settings and controls have gotten so much more user-friendly. But even if you don't want to use the professional controls and settings, and you just want to use the auto mode setting, you will still get great pictures. That, again, is one of the beauties of the newer technology. You can set your camera on auto when it is absolutely critical that you nail the shot, and when you have time in the shot is not so important, you can play around with different controls and buttons to see how they will enhance your photos.

To sum it all up, keep in mind that this new equipment, even if it is a cheap digital SLR camera, is a great investment. You will be able to record all of the important events in your life and the lives of your family members. Then years from now you can locate your photos and relive those memorable moments.
