Point and shoot versus DSLR

Most persons that have decided to purchase a new digital camera are put in front of a very tough decision between a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) and one of the many point and shoot cameras available on the market. We believe that it is a great thing that almost every person gets to make this choice now because of the fact that the prices for entry level DSLRs have significantly dropped over the last year and now people don't have to choose thinking only about the financial aspect.

We like to say that the best camera for you is the one you can afford, but we are here to present you the advantages of both DSLRs and point and shoot cameras so you make the right choice. DSLR cameras offer the best you can get when it comes to image quality and besides this a full range of manual controls that will allow you to develop your creative spirit. Plus, they are fast, have a longer lasting battery and maintain their value better over time.

On the other hand, point and shoot camers are much more practical because they are smaller. For begginners or the ones that don't want to learn more about photography they represent the best choice because they are easy to use and come with dozens of preset modes. Even more important, they are usually cheaper than DSLRs and don't require further investments like lenses or filters. Now, the choice is up to you and we hope you will be satisfied with your future digital camera.
