Canon Rebel Digital Cameras – How to Make the Right Choice
You will see a lot more compact digital compact cameras in everyday use as against digital SLR cameras as historically, the SLR versions have been much more expensive.
Almost as common as cellphones, it is not unusual to see someone with a compact digital camera every time you walk down the street. Until recently, it was rare to see a digital SLR camera unless it was in the hands of a professional.
Thankfully, the cost of the digital SLR’s has now fallen to such a degree that some are now around the same price as a top quality compact camera. This has opened up a whole new market although many people are unaware of what these SLR’s can do.
The main advantage of SLR’s over compacts is speed, in particular shutter speed. This is due to the SLR’s being mechanical as opposed to the electronic operation of the compacts.
There’s a device called a shutter that sits in front of the digital SLR sensor, blocking it from light.When you take a photo, the shutter (made up of two curtains) opens and closes.
By comparison, a compact camera has no physical shutter mechanism but rather it’s sensor is activated electronically whenever you take a picture.
The advantage of the mechanical solution is that it is instantaneous: you press the shutter button and the shutter snaps open.There’s never a delay when you want to capture that photo of a lifetime.
There is now much more choice in digital SLR cameras as major suppliers like Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc. bring better, ever more functional cameras to the market place, that it is no easy matter picking the right SLR for you.
When you come to chose which SLR is right for you, make a list of all the things you think you want to photograph then do your homework on which cameras have the functionality to let you do this. Read up on any guide books or testimonials you can find for the cameras on your shortlist. Now, and only now, should you start to compare prices on the few that are left, also look out for any package deals that may be available and go strike yourself a deal.
The best reasons for using these kind of steps is that it will give you peace of mind that you have done your own research and only you know what is best for you so you won’t get under or over sold a camera as you know exactly what you want. By the time you get to pricing, their will only be very few cameras left to compare so less time wasted and confusion caused and you can be confident that you’ve got the right camera at the right price and also that it will capture the photos you want for many years.
If I was to recommend any SLR I would have to go for one of the Canon Rebel digital cameras. I have owned one – now two since I upgraded last year, for a number of years and they are hard to beat for reliability, ease of use and value for money
