The Best Digital SLRs
You've just missed the shot. You know the one--the shot that you have a millisecond to capture, be it of your toddler running across the lawn, of your buddy's home-run swing at the company softball game, or of a jet plane swooping above you at a summertime air show.
If missing pictures is a frequent lament of yours, you're probably ready to graduate from a compact point-and-shoot digital camera--and its seemingly interminable shutter lag--and explore the wider realm of digital SLR (single-lens reflex) models. Fortunately, the latest digital SLR cameras come with a host of features that are aimed at helping newcomers make the transition from a compact, point-and-shoot camera.
One of the chief shooter-friendly additions to digital SLRs is a Live View mode, which lets you compose an image within the camera's LCD just as you would with a compact digital camera. Live View has been making its way into digital SLRs steadily over the past year. Both the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi and the Sony highlighted in this article offer Live View; they're the first sub-$1000 digital SLRs we've evaluated that have the feature.
A digital SLR may not fit in your pocket the way a compact point-and-shoot digital camera does, but if you take the plunge, you'll find a world of new images available for you to capture.
