Digital SLR Camera’s Become Cheaper
Spent the weekend at a friend’s place in Los Angeles. We usually talk about 4 topics.Investing, Gadgets, Cars and Human Stupidity. This time was no different.
I’d long been eyeing his Nikon D70 DSLR but at over $1500, there was no way I was going to spend that kind of money. For my trip to Europe last, size won over functionality and I purchased the Canon SD300.
However, taking great photographs is a very enjoyable hobby and the ownership of an SLR or DSLR is a must. He mentioned that Nikon had just come out with the new D50.
He also recommended the following books:
- National Geographic Photography Field Guide: Secrets to Making Great Pictures
- National Geographic Photography Field Guide: People and Portraits
- National Geographic Photography Field Guides: Landscapes

It would be wonderful to have a great digital SLR – how do the models you’ve discussed compare to the Canon rebel line?
I recently picked up the Canon SD550 and love it – even though it’s not an SLR. It’s a huge step up above my earlier canon all in one.
The huge screen makes taking pictures much easier and the quality of both pictures and movies has gone up dramatically. I think they have more ccd’s for the movie side. Actually the movies are so good, I’m considering canning my video camera.
