Digital Cameras + SLR/Professional

There are two main types of digital cameras: point-and-shoot and DLSR (digital single-lens reflex) cameras. DLSR cameras are suitable for professional and serious photographers while casual users prefer point-and-shoot cameras for their smaller size and ease of use.

Important digital camera features to consider are megapixels and flash memory storage. Higher megapixels translate to higher picture resolution, which allows larger photo prints without compromising image quality. But higher resolution photos also take up more memory, which is another important factor to consider. Popular digital camera memory types include Secure Digital (SD), Compact Flash, Sony’s Memory Stick, and xD Picture Cards. Digital cameras generally ship with low capacity memory cards, so it’s recommended to invest in compatible higher capacity memory cards.
