"With the digital SLR you have a good idea of what you're going to capture by looking through the viewfinder. When you press the shutter release the camera captures the image immediately. If you need to zoom or focus manually there are large rings that you can operate quickly by feel. If you see a beautifully-lit scene you can capture that beauty instead of using an on-camera flash to blast everything with harsh white light. If you need to make a specialized photo you can buy or rent a specialized lens and attach it to the camera.

"This article explains the different kinds of digital SLRs available, how to choose the right one for you, and what to do once you get it home from the shop."
