Choose a point-and-shoot for simplicity and everyday carrying. Choose an SLR when focus, lenses and exposure control are central.
Some compact cameras are fully automatic, while others offer advanced controls. SLR systems also range from manual classics to autofocus models.
A practical method
- Decide how much control you want
- Compare size and weight
- Consider lens flexibility
- Check flash needs
- Review battery and repair availability
- Handle both types if possible
What to avoid
- Assuming compact means lower quality
- Buying an SLR without budgeting for a lens
- Choosing by status alone
- Ignoring autofocus noise and speed
- Expecting automation to guarantee exposure
