Point and shoot digital cameras are great for the
occasional family snapshot or the roadside landscape. But what if you
want to expand your photographic horizons? Can your point and shoot
digital camera expand with you ? No. These types of cameras can be very
limiting if your desire is to reach new heights with your photography
and expression. Point shoot digital cameras are difficult to impossible
to shoot with selective focus, micro shots, and extreme telephoto
photography (over 200mm).

So if you want to step out of that point and shoot
digital camera but are having a hard justifying the cost to move up to
a new digital SLR camera. Why not buy a used one? Getting good used
camera equipment has been the cornerstone of success for many pro
photographers who were starting out in the business.
Why a used digital SLR camera?
Well if you are like most people funds and budgets are
limited. To maximize your investment in equipment buying a used digital
slr camera is the way to go.
Why a digital SLR camera rather than a point and shoot with a wide range fixed lenses?
In buying a digital SLR you get flexibility and room to grow as you
gain experience. One of the biggest advantages of most digital SLR
cameras is that it lets you shoot your pictures in RAW format. This in
invaluable when you are starting out and learning. Most of the major
manufactures have stopped producing point and shoot cameras that can
shoot in RAW format all together.
Who cares about shooting in RAW format I shoot in JPEGs?
In a nutshell image exposure control. Shooting your
pictures in a RAW format produces a digital negative very much like a
film negative. If you get the exposure wrong its OK, you can fix it on
your computer using your RAW file with NO to very limited loss. RAW
files give you at least 2 stops of exposure latitude, which is like
shooting with C-41 film (Print Film) in the old days.
Buying a used digital SLR camera gives you the ability
to change lenses and experiment with different lenses types, telephoto,
Marco, and zoom lenses. This helps expand your creative possibilities.
If your goals are to take your photography to the next level why not
pick up a used digital slr camera? They are cheaper, sometimes 40% off
the latest and greatest new models. Just look at EOS Canon 20D cameras
they once retailed at $1400-$1500 dollars now you can pick one up for
$400 to $500 dollars. This is a great way to break in at a lower cost,
and advance your photographic skills.
