dSLR Advantages – Upgrade What You Want

Among the other dSLR advantages is the ability to selectively upgrade your camera and gear as you gain more experience.

Technology changes at a rapid pace but the laws of physics do not.

Digital cameras go through “revolutions” at least once every 3 months or so.

If you are concerned about the quality of your photos, you will likely be interested in upgrading every few months or so to get the “latest and greatest”.

Unfortunately, the latest and greatest would require you to get a whole new set of camera and lens.

This would be an expensive proposition. As a photographer and consumer, you want to get the most for your hard earned money.

For me, this is a definite digital SLR camera advantage as it gives you, the photographer, the choice of either replacing the lens, camera body or both as you, and your budget, deem necessary.

Love your camera. Love yourself. Love your photos.

dSLR Advantages – Longer Battery Life

As one of the dSLR advantages, a longer battery life means you can shoot more pictures without having to worry about needing to recharge your battery.

An important advantage over point-and-shoot models is that you can take several hundred photos on a single charge of the battery.

While some of this is due to bigger batteries for a dSLR camera, it is also because dSLRs don’t use the LCD for composition.

The LCD screen is what people use to compose photographs on a point and shoot camera. The necessity of keeping a large screen illuminated requires a lot of battery power.

This is why most point and shoot cameras need to be charged more often than dSLR cameras.

dSLR cameras, on the other hand, don’t use the LCD for composition and thus conserve a lot of battery power for when it is needed.

What does this mean to you as a photographer? You can leave the camera turned on for days at a time and still be able to shoot a few more photos.

You don’t have to worry about your battery dying on you if you’ve forgotten to turn off your camera.

Love your camera. Love yourself. Love your photos.
