Advice, Amateur want a good camera?
I've only had a small digital point and click camera. I'm looking to get a better a better quality of the camera, but do not really know where to start. I do not know anything about the ISO or glasses or something, but I'm willing to learn, but I want the camera to take "self" photos too. – UNDER $ 700, so not too limited. – About the size of a Canon Rebel XSi or Nikon Coolpix P90 – Take decent photos without flash, that is, with limited light racks in a theater? (Not very important) – A decent stabilizer Please advice or recommendations would be awesome! Thanks:) I'm a novice who does not know the difference between a digital SLR and digital SLR camera no. I know I want a digital camera and I want to take pictures of pretty good quality.
The image sensor used in point and shoot digital cameras is usually much smaller than the image sensor used in a digital SLR camera (the difference is often much as 25 times.) DSLRs are generally able to be used in a faster ISO which will lead to a higher shutter speed and less grain.Many point and shoots come with the ability to shoot in manual mode, a digital SLR camera is designed so it is assumed that the photographer using it will want to control their own settings. While they come with good auto modes the manual controls are generally built in such form found on the fingertips, as photographers are shooting.
