Whats the difference between digital point and shoot and digital slr cameras?
point and shoot are made for the basic photographer… hence point and shoot… applies to film or digital cameras… slr implies you see through the lens… many point and shoots you see through a peep hole… parallel to the lens… slr typically you can change the lenses out… usually an slr will cost more, have more possible accessory possibilities… with todays digital cameras get what works for you… slr will be cumbersome, big and heavy, point and shoots are really good these days… unless you are a professional photographer, may as well just get a real good point and shoot… I was a die hard old school photg… finally I sold out to digital… I got a sony 8.1 Mpixel… mega pixels are important, but lens quality is a must to….
