Digital SLR Camera Guides For Non-Professionals



1. I'm Non-Technical

Every one of my digital SLR camera guides is presented in a non-technical manner. No charts, no graphs, no deep musings about the color reproducing capacity of the silicon chip.
Instead, I tell you a story. It's a story about my experience using the camera and taking photos with it. Call it a real-world test or practical advice.
You'll find out what it's like to use the camera for every-day photography, not for a professional photo shoot with supermodels, bright lights and a swarm of photo interns.

2. I'm Not Biased
This site is neither created nor supported by any camera manufacturer or distributor.
What does this mean?
It means that the digital SLR reviews that I write are unbiased. I don't have any preferences for camera makes and models - I just want to find cameras that really work.
I don't have to tell you that every camera is great, and that every digital SLR works like a charm. I will not give every camera a 5 star rating.
I am trying to help you make up your mind, and if I just tell you that they are all perfect, that doesn't help you in any way.
Think of me like the inspector for your new home: I am here to get in the crawlspace, inspect the foundation and tell you about every crack, flaw and minor imperfection.
With luck, you won't get an expensive digital SLR that is a fixer-upper.

3. I Love Taking Photos
It's Q and A time here at the Digital SLR Guide:

How do you evaluate a home? Visit it.
How do you evaluate a car? Drive it.
How do you evaluate a digital SLR camera? Take photos with it.

The best way for you to choose a digital SLR is to use it yourself: hold it, carry it around, take lots of photos. The second best way is to see lots of photos taken by the camera and decide if you like the way they look.
