More Consumers Reach for D-SLR Cameras

Point and shoot (P&S) digital cameras may offer the advantages of small and light bodies, large LCD viewfinders that can be used for framing pictures, and the ability to capture video, but more and more consumers are being drawn to digital single-lens reflex (D-SLR) cameras. With pricing dropping quickly and manufacturers offering more cost-effective models targeting the lower-end of the buying spectrum, it’s easier than ever for consumers to hop in on the D-SLR bandwagon.

It’s no surprise! You can get incredible quality for a mere $600 – $800 camera nowadays. It really makes you wonder why you spent $400 on that “high-end” point and shoot. The article goes on to mention that Canon and Nikon combined are responsible for 80% of the market and the popular cameras from each brand right now happen to be the 30D and D80.
