Re: Someone tell me about these SLR cameras
They take pictures really quickly. Especially in natural light, when a flash isn't needed, the picture is instantly captured....which is the reason I wanted one - so I could catch all of the cute little faces and expressions. If you hold the button down, it will continue to take pictures, so you can almost make a flashbook of your baby doing something.
And the pictures have amazing quality.
They're worth every penny.

Re: Someone tell me about these SLR cameras
Apart from the resolution, I find that the best for me is that I can capture those moments I could never get before.
You know, that silly face, 1st smile, etc... It was gone by the time I took the pic.

Re: Someone tell me about these SLR cameras
Those descriptions above are the exact reasons I want one too. I've been begging for one for a while now!

Re: Someone tell me about these SLR cameras
These are all the reasons I want one-the frames per second feature most of all. I hate my point and shoot because by the time the stupid thing focuses the picture is gone.

Same...plus I love how with the news lens I have I cane get those pictures that blur out the background and focus on the subject (Lucas   ) and make it look semi-professional. They come out sooooo nice!!!!!

Which lens does that? I'm probably getting an SLR very soon, still not sure which one. But I may have to add that lens.  That sounds like a great effect.

Re: Someone tell me about these SLR cameras
You can get this effect by setting your aperture. It's an effect you can get on any DSLR.

Re: Someone tell me about these SLR cameras
Steph Mike just bought me the Nikon D40 which is the "lowest" model. It was fine for me because I was taking some pretty good pics with my point and shoot-like others said it is so much nicer to take pic after pic with no wait. Mine came as a kit from Abes of Maine. I got the camera the 18-55 lens(which I already want the 200 for close ups so I will ask for that for my birthday from Diane and Marty maybe) a high speed 4 gig memory card and long life battery for $550. I have a coupon code if you want it. I was very happy with their service. i searched for a discount code and received my order next day even though it was ground
