The differences between digital SLRs and the camera that you used before you saw the (digital SLR) light depends on where you’re coming from. If your most recent camera was a point-and-shoot digital model, you know the advantages
of being able to review your photos on an LCD screen an instant after you
take them. And, if you’re serious about photography, you also understand the
benefits of fine-tuning your photos in an image editor. If you’re making a longdelayed
switch to a digital SLR from a film SLR, you’re likely a photo enthusiast
already and well aware that a single lens reflex offers you extra control over
framing, using focus creatively, and choosing lenses to produce the best perspective.
And, if you’re making the huge leap from a point-and-shoot non-SLR
film camera to a digital SLR, you’re in for some real revelations.
A digital SLR has (almost) all the good stuff available in a lesser digital
camera, with some significant advantages that enable you to take your photo
endeavors to a new, more glorious level of excellence. Certainly, you can
take close-ups or sports photos by using any good-quality film or digital
camera. Low-light photography, travel pictures, or portraits are all within the capabilities of any camera. But digital SLRs let you capture these kinds of
images more quickly, more flexibly, and with more creativity at your fingertips.
Best of all (at least, for Photoshop slaves), a digital SLR can solve problems
that previously required you to work long hours over a hot keyboard.
Despite the comparisons you can make to other cameras, a digital SLR isn’t
just a simple upgrade from a conventional film camera or another type of
digital camera. A dSLR is very different from a film SLR, even though some
vendors still offer film and dSLRs that look quite a bit alike and share similar
exposure metering, automatic focusing, and other electronics, as well as
interchangeable lenses. If you look closely, you can find that the digital SLR
camera is different than a film SLR, and you use it differently to take pictures.
In the sections that follow, I introduce you to the advanced features and
inner workings of a dSLR so that you can begin getting the most out of your
camera.
