Its a great mini course on using a digital point and shoot and SLR camera.

Today I will be comparing the two so I thought I would put some brief notes on my blog.

Regular Point and Shoot Camera:

Pros:

small size
very portable
inexpensive
most have low quality video

Cons:

slow shutter speed
not many options
cant change lenses
not good for long distance or sports pictures IMO

SLR:

Pros:

Can change lenses
Different Shutter speeds
Many options

Cons:

large – won’t fit into your pocket or purse
Expensive – some lenses can cost 1000′s of $$
