When you're looking at the specs of a DSLR camera, the list can be overwhelming, full of technical details and specifications. If you tried looking for reviews and ratings of digital cameras, you will feel very confused trying to make heads and tails of all the opinions that customers are sharing.
But if you do take the time and manage to sift through all that information, you will be able to make the best choice.
What Is It?
What exactly is the difference between a SLR and other digital cameras? Why are you looking to buy a SLR and not a compact or a subcompact? You should ask yourself these questions before you spend the money.
For example, you should know what a megapixel does before you buy a SLR digital camera based on the number of megapixels alone. The number of megapixels indicate how big is the camera's resolution (the number of light pixels in a given space).
The bigger the number of pixels, the clearer and sharper is the image. They can get pricey though, so the key is to find one that has a good price and a sufficient quality image.
Just because a digital camera has a lot of pixels, it doesn't mean that the photo quality is guaranteed. If there are too many pixels, and the sensor isn't big enough, the photos can look over-pixilated or unnatural.
An example could be the shadows from the picture, which could be too detailed if the pixel rate is high. Every time you look at a different camera, make sure you check the pixel rates and the resolution.
You might be curious what exactly does SLR means. SLR comes from "single-lens reflex". This digital camera has a small mirror that moves between the film and the lens. Then it uses the lens to project the image on the focusing screen. There are a lot of SLR digital cameras available, from all manufacturers. Two examples of SLR cameras are Nikon D70 and those from Canon.
