Ten Reasons To Pick Up a DSLR

So you are an aspiring photographer with a sub-$200 camera and are pondering a move to DSLR territory. It’s not a bad idea… at all. Nowadays, it’s not even that expensive to get set up. If you are willing to part with $1,000, you can equip yourself with some sweet equipment. In fact, we will be publishing a review later this week of Nikon’s D40x, which is quite impressive considering the price point.

If you are still unsure whether a DSLR is for you, then you might want to check out the top ten list at Canonites. The list applies to everyone, not just Canon zealots. Reasons include less noise, no shutter lag, viewfinder, ergonomics and more.

I urge you not to buy that Canon EOS 30D or Nikon D80 or [insert other DSLR model here] if you plan to leave it on full automatic mode. DSLRs are expensive light-capturing tools that can help you create some amazing images, but only if you have the time and patience to learn what you are doing and be creative.
