Digital SLR Cameras are Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras
which mimic what the professional 35mm film cameras did in previous years. If you want much more information check out the

This is the camera I am saving for and am hoping I have the money by the time the new version comes out (rumored to be spring, 2012)...I'll believe it when it happens, though.

Initially I was hesitant to switch from a film to a digital
camera. The convenience and instant
aspect of it enticed me, but the compromise of quality kept me away for quite
some time. In fact, I didn’t break down
and switch to digital until the end of 2006!
Now, I can’t imagine living without a digital SLR camera…actually I
would love to have a set of at least 2, but more would be even better! I love the fact that I can see instantly if I
got the shot I was trying for or if I need to re-shoot. I also love that I can shoot multiple
versions of the same thing and unlike shooting film I don’t have to print them
all, so it doesn’t cost anything!! I
guess you can tell I never did my own developing. The downside is I spend a lot of time with my
photos now! If I add up the time to set
up, shoot and “digitally process” my photos, there is a lot of time that goes
into it. Good thing I love it! I am sure as I become more skilled with
Photoshop, my processing time will be much shorter.
Now higher end digital SLR are coming with HD video
capability. I wonder what this means for
the future of video cameras. Soon only
the very serious videographers will use a video camera as casual users can get
video and still photos with one unit and there is much less to lug around. I know I haven’t much need for a video camera
at the moment. I usually just rely on my
phone or my point and shoot digital camera for that. As for the future of photography…I sure hope
the cameras just keep getting better and better! It amazes me how far they have come in just
the last ten years!
What Camera is that? A Canon what? I heard that next year they are planning to have mirror-less cameras. Also, in the future, some DSLRs might get the 3-D treatment too. Check on campus, in the photo room, to give the new Canon cameras a test drive. Happy savings til you get your camera!
ReplyDeleteThe photo is a Canon 5D. I believe the nicest camera the photo lab will let photo students check out is a Canon T3i. Not that it's a bad camera. I do plan on checking one out to play with it especially since there are some better lenses in the photo lab than the kit lens I am currently using with my dad's Nikon. However, I am planning on buying my dad a nicer lens soon anyway. Thanks for the comment!
