I have both a DSLR and a compact. When I go on a holiday, its the compact that I bring. DSLR has all the things you would wish for but the main draw back is the weight and is bulky. Some cameras like the new Fuji FinePix F200 EXR is almost as good as a DSLR in terms of clarity and colour. It is cheap to own and simple to use. The other important thing is cheap enough to replace when it is damaged by kids.hello all,
need advice on DSLR and compact.
What's the dif and which is better for capturing kids images?
i am totally new and currently only using canon IXUS 860...
hope to be able to have some advice...
hi hotwork77,
yes, i agree with you...and worse is, i am always the one taking the pics, not my husband..so i cant imagine bringing DSLR and handling, chasing my boy...was actually thinking of canon G10...now looking at Nikon...any other good compact you will reco? not too ex of coz...
If budget is not a concern, u might wanna consider getting the micro 4/3 dslrs like Olympus E-P1. Its a dslr but having the size of a compact. Very cute too, to see a dslr so small sized lol
Or u can get a beginner dslr like Sony a330. Its one of the lightest dslr around, and it has a very good auto mode as well as guide mode, so beginners can still take stunning pics with it. But they're much bigger sized than compacts though.
hi Fixie,
thats what my friend told me. and she recommended D40 to me, saying price is not much of dif and faster speed....
but thousand and above is really too much for me ...so the D40 kit will do ? or do i need to keep buying lens ? arrggg...actually, i do not really know why are there so many dif kind of lens..for zooming i assume..

If you MAINLY want to take pics of your boy, yes D40 kit would be enough. No need to buy any more lenses. Its been discontinued but if I'm not wrong one or two places may still be selling it, check the Nikon thread. Or theres always the internet.
If not fussy about brand:
Pentax K-M ~ $800
Sony a230 ~ $700
The Title reminds me of one advertisement
It's not DSLR, It's not Compact, It's a PEN...
