Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Digital Camera {Switched.com}
Jul 9th 2008 12:11PM 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.
This column could simply state that, and have buyers concentrate on the other good points raised in the advice column.
