Why DSLRs are better than compact digital cameras

For a start, you can use many lens. Not that I have more than one, but it is better than the compact lens I had. You can also push up the ISO to 1600 or more for fast moving objects, like people, children, animals and so on.

You can shoot multiple times. You see the object you want to shoot and the focus and press button function seems very fast. It is almost what you see is what you get.

I’m sure there are many more advantages, like the ability to alter so many more settings.  What I worry about while using one though is that I am a softer target for theft. Not stealing me, but the camera. I don’t know how I’d go overseas with one.

New DSLR camera

I registered with the Sydney based photo art site. Then I went through every photo I’d taken with my digital camera except those I’d lost. I lost all of my American shots, damn it. I’ve now backed up all my other photos on a flash drive. You should take note of a posting I did about storing photos online. You can add Ph.Art to that list now as you can upload to a private gallery there.

Then I submitted a few photos. So far, one has been declined because of its subject matter and one has been accepted. You can see my photos  at  PhotoArt here.  Hopefully, by the time you click on that link, more photos will have been selected.

Then after much research, I bought a DSLR  from an online site. It is a Canon DSLR (EOS 1000D) for under $1000. Some of the best and most expensive compact digitals were as expensive, so I think I got a good deal. Can’t wait to use it. I’ll need to get out of Melbourne soon.

I love the fact that this new site where you can sell photos is Australian. It just feels better, as many of the photos you see are of Australia. Many of the ones I submitted were of a Tasmanian trip I did a few years ago. You cannot fail to take a good photo in Tasmania.
