SLR vs regular digital?

Janel Maples · 04-09-2005, 01:13 PM

For what it is worth, I had a small, very nice, digital camera to carry along with me for convenience. The key word here is HAD. Then, I bought the Rebel to take good photos of my art and for references. To make a long story short my 14 yr old is now the proud owner of her own, very nice, very small digital camera. I wouldn't be caught dead without my Rebel. The camera that is. And I don't care how big it is!

End of story.

One size doesn't really fit all purposes when it comes to cameras. I use my big SLR digital Nikon for serious photography (portrait reference shots, photos of my paintings) and if I was going to Europe and trying to pack light I'd also buy a decent and very small digital camera for that purpose.

I will recommend the Canon PowerShot A95 for just that purpose! It is a very compact 5 MP camera and is great for taking on the road or vacation. I have my D10 for professional work, but it is too cumbersome to lug around when I travel. I have actually gotten some good reference out of the small one.
