My next question is what they realistically expect to spend over the next few years for lenses to support their camera. If they have no intention of spending the money to buy the high dollar  image stabilized lenses available for professional DSLRs, then they really have many more choices than the "Big 2" camera companies.  For less than $1,000, most people would likely be able to get more camera and lens than they would ever need.  Depending on their choice of cameras, they might also end up with one that had image stabilization built into the body.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2008 9:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Digital Camera]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</guid><description><![CDATA[What kind of DSLR camera do you recommend then?

I got it at a great price, and I'm achieving some very nice results with it.   This Panasonic model is terrific for those who want (somewhat) DSLR quality images without having to go to that expense.  I'd highly recommend it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[complik8td]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2008 11:30AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Digital Camera]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</guid><description><![CDATA[i use a kodak z740 and people are amazed at the results i get-- and i have used everything from a kodak 35 , rollei , linhof  and deep sea underwater cameras.  the phantom has spoken!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[photorit52]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2008 12:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Digital Camera]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</guid><description><![CDATA[As a long time SLR user and darkroom photographer who has long since gone digital (Elf subcompact)  I must say there is one page of this excellent review I differ with.  As my little digital pics exceed the quality of my film experience in sharpness, resolution, noise and particularly exposure latitude. And as my Nikon SLR exceeded by far the quality of the typical amateur snap shooter of yesteryear. The great majority of photographers need no more than one of the current Canon Elf models or similar to fully meet their needs. Incredibly good, creative and technical work is achieved in mass numbers with these little cameras that are affordable. For perfectionists, sure, consider dropping $1-$2,000 on a DSLR with features that require weeks of study to begin to appreciate. But don't count on having that brick with you when you go for that 2 hour picnic or casual outing to the zoo.<br><br>This column could simply state that, and have buyers concentrate on the other good points raised in the advice column.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[artist]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2008 12:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Digital Camera]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just make sure you don't buy a camera that uses regular batteries because they don't last very long.  <br><br>I'm looking for a new SLR and saw on <a href="http://www.cityskoop.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.cityskoop.com</a> that Circuit City has a sale on digital cameras]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blake]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2008 12:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Digital Camera]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</guid><description><![CDATA[Can I use my AE-1 camera interchangeable lenses with your Cannon Digital cameras, would i need to purcchase a SLR camera?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Charles L Svihla]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2008 10:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Digital Camera]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/09/five-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-digital-camera/</guid><description><![CDATA[The most important thing that I look at is the lens.
