Slashdot Discusses DSLRs
2006-11-10
Much opinion on Slashdot about DSLRs, SLRs, and Point and Shoot cameras. Not as rabid as it could be.
Although I used to have an SLR, it is now a dust collector following a decade of unuse. I got back into photography in 1997 when the Apple Quicktake 200 came out. Apple gave me one free with a new Mac, and I was soon enthralled with the 640x480 images it put onto 2Mbyte Flash cards. I haven't gone DSLR yet because I don't have a specific photographic need, and without that I would end up much poorer and with a huge bag of lenses. I do want the quality, but the freedom and portability of the Canon S3 fits the bill for now.
