How to choose a DSLR camera?

Point-and-shoot cameras are so convenient and they take great pictures too. So why would I upgrade to a DSLR camera?

The double clicking sound made by DSLR cameras as I press the shutter button is really satisfying! I'm a photo enthusiast and it's important for me to preserve my memories in forms of pictures. I get frustrated with bad pictures and memories that were lost forever. I get tired of thinking “I wish that image was better” or “I wish it was not as blurry”. I also get frustrated with my point-and-shoot’s slow responsiveness in taking action shots and it does not have good capabilities for night photography.

DSLR cameras offer many extra features that simply aren’t available on a standard digital point-and-shoot camera. Due to the smaller size of the camera sensor, point and shoots is no match to DSLRs when it comes to image quality, even with more megapixels. A DSLR camera typically has a much bigger sensor than a point-and-shoot camera, resulting in less noise (the grain you typically see in a picture), faster speeds and much better overall image quality.

Well, I am ready for handling the occasional time-consuming maintenance procedure. Ok so!

Canon or Nikon?




What features should I look for?



I have set myself a budget for my purchase early on. Now I just need to decide which DSLR camera should I get for my kind of photography?

Aghhh! *grabbing a dice and throw it!*


UPDATE: Here's my new DSLR camera!
