If
you'd like to try photography as a hobby
- or just want better photos without
the
effort - try a digital SLR camera.
Interchangeable zoom lenses and
a range
of extra equipment give you professional
quality pictures with
lots of room to
experiment.
What is a digital SLR camera?
They're as easy to use as other digital cameras - but with richer colours and finer detail, they make your snaps look like professionally-taken photographs. They also have more manual controls, giving you total control over your images if you want to go beyond point-and-shoot. The biggest difference, though, is the way you can swap lenses for zooms and closeups.
Learn what makes SLRs different: lenses, instant capture, and shooting modes.
Digital SLR cameras put you in control
Digital SLR cameras grow with you; you can mix and match equipment to suit your shooting style. A tripod will keep those landscapes steady; powerful flashes will illuminate scenes evenly; and a large memory card will store thousands of images.
Check out extra equipment like tripods, flashguns, and memory.
If you don't have a PC, look out for PictBridge. These cameras can connect to similarly equipped printers without needing a PC, letting you print your photos straight from your camera.
