DSLR vs. Average Digital Camera?




Kevin Merr


I was wondering if I could buy a digital camera for about 200-300 dollars that would match the quality of a DSLR camera? What is the difference of a good digital camera, and a DSLR?


Answer
To answer the second part of your question here are some of the differences and features between the two types.

DSLR:
High resolution
Fast response (Picture is taken within a fraction of a second from pressing the shutter button)
Interchangeable lenses
High continuous shot rates
Manual controls
Durability
Optical viewfinder

Normal Digital Camera:
Portability
Price
Live preview on the LCD
Some have large zoom ranges
Many different choices
Many are high resolution

this lens does not include everything, but I feel that these are the big ones

whats the difference in cameras DSLR vs point and shoot?

I've been looking at the Olympus e-3 which is there best dslr on the market, a constant negative i keep seeing in reviews is that it only has 10 or so megapixels, compared to a point and shoot that push far past 12megapixel,

my question is, whats the difference in the way a dslr takes a photo over a point and shoot, and how a camera of 10megapixels dslr can take so much of a nicer photo then a 15megapixel point and shoot.

also is there any camera some one with experiences in this field would recommend,



Answer
First of all megapixels don't matter at all. Read the attached article.

Second. A DSLR has a sensor that is much much larger than that of a point and shoot. The sensor on the Olympus is 10-12 times larger than the sensor on a point and shoot camera. Larger sensors mean finer detail, dynamic range and much better low light performance.

A dslr also has much better optics. The ability to use interchangeable lenses which are optically far superior to any lens on a point and shoot camera.

DSLR's also have much faster and more accurate auto focus, better faster processors and are fully adjustable.

Even the best point and shoot does not come close to the cheapest DSLR when it comes to performance and image quality.
