Value-packed proposition
CALL them babies or juniors, but the market for entry-level DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras is no child's play. The DSLR market is hot because these cameras have never been more affordable.
A spanking new DSLR with lens can now be had for about $1,000. Two to three years ago, the figure was $5,000 .
Making the switch to DSLRs are casual photographers tired of the limitations of their compact digital cameras and even beginners who want a headstart.
Digital Life rounds up three of the hot new entry-level DSLRs and throws in a surprise fourth camera, putting them through the hoops for you.
Mid Range shooting spree
WITH mid-range DSLR cameras falling in the $2,000 plus range, they are now within easier reach of anyone who wants to go professional.
So if you have the spare cash, you might want to go straight for a mid-range instead of an entry-level DSLR for greater granular control and more features.
Here's a look at four popular mid-range DSLRs.
