Choosing A Digital Camera - Understanding The Three Types Of Digital Cameras
Choosing a digital camera is a lot easier when you consider the three types of digital cameras: the digital SLR, the bridge (or prosumer) and the point-and-shoot or (compact automatic).
This article introduces you to the advantages and disadvantages of each, so that you can narrow your choices down to the type of camera you want. And by choosing the right type of camera, you'll have more fun taking pictures and before you know it, you'll be framing all kinds of pictures in a wide variety of frames- everything from unique panoramic picture frames to large picture frames.
Digital Single Lens Reflexes (DSLRs)
Digital SLRs, also called "DSLRs" are expensive, and until recently were used almost only by professional photographers. Prices have come down considerably over the years for an entry level DSLR like the popular Canon Rebel. However, just remember that when you get a DSLR you also have to buy lenses to use. Some do, however, come with a basic starter lens or kit lens. If you want to take some pictures of something far away, you can't just push a button to zoom but will need to get a telephoto lens. These come in all kinds of sizes to fit the many different needs of photographers. Many photographers also buy quality used equipment to keep costs down.
One of the great benefits of DSLRs is that you can get telephoto lenses that will let you take a close up of a bird on the top of a tree and you'll never be able to tell from the picture that the bird was so far away. And they are lightning fast! So you'll never have the problem of missing an action shot because your camera took too long to record the picture.
DSLRs also work with advanced accessories such as an external flash. They are also great for taking action shots in low light situations where a flash won't reach or isn't allowed.
And due to their larger sensors, you can increase ISO to get shots in places without adequate lighting but where you need high shutter speed to capture action. With other types of cameras you can't do this because they have smaller sensors and end up producing pictures with unsightly graininess called digital noise. This can sometimes be removed with software but the DSLR allows you to avoid the whole mess.
The primary downside to a DSLR is cost as you can get other types of cameras for a lot less.
It's a nice camera to upgrade to if you discover you really love taking pictures and want to advance. Many get started with a camera body and kit lens, and then add bigger lenses over time.
Point & Shoot Digital Cameras (also called compact or automatic cameras)
Digital compact cameras (or point and shoots) are the most popular type of camera for good reason. Compact cameras can take such good quality pictures these days that many professional photographers will also use compact cameras for when they don't want to carry around their DSLR gear. (Pocket size compacts are often called subcompacts).
As mentioned above, one of the biggest benefits to compacts is their small and easy to carry size. Unlike DSLRs which are bigger and have "more parts," compacts can go almost anywhere easily.
Although you can just point and shoot these cameras, many have lots of different modes to choose from and even offer some manual controls like Aperture Priority and Shutter Speed Priority. If it has optical zoom, you can also get some great telephoto shots too!
Bridge Cameras
These digital cameras are designed to bridge the gap between DSLRs and compact (or point and shoot) cameras. Bridge cameras are also called prosumer cameras because they are often used by both professionals and consumers.
Bridge cameras almost always have higher price tags than compact cameras but are less than most DSLRs (as you don't have to buy extra lenses with bridge cameras).
Bridge cameras have larger sensors and offer more megapixels than most compacts. Because of the larger sensor, you can increase ISO more than on a compact but not nearly as high as with an DSLR. If you don't need to get action shots in places without good lighting, this may never be an issue.
Many bridge cameras have hot shoes to work with external flash, meaning you can get better indoors pictures. Bridge cameras also have movie mode and let you compose pictures on the LCD screen. Many also have super zooms. This means they have optical zoom ranges of 10x to 20x. Plus bridge cameras often have as many manual controls as DSLR cameras.
Once you decide what type of camera you want (DSLR, bridge or compact), selecting a camera will be a lot less confusing. So no matter what type of digital camera you get, take time to learn how to use your camera and you'll be sure to start taking some great pictures that you'll want to put in beautiful wood picture frames.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Which is the better camera, the Canon Rebel xs, or the Canon EOS 20D?
I have the opportunity to buy either one of these for about the same price, the EOS 20D though has two lenses included, cleaning kit, filters, etc. The Rebel comes with the kit lens strap, and everything typically included with the kit. So I am curious as to which camera body is actually better.
Answer:
I haven't used the 20D but I use it's predecessor the 10D daily for my business. It has been an absolute tank. Tank = good. I can tell you that any "rebel" model is a consumer model. Any "D" model is going to be geared towards more professional use. What does that mean? It means when you pick up a 10D, 20D, 30D, etc. and then you pick up a Rebel you will instantly see that the Rebel is more "plasticky" vs. the D series cameras. The D series cameras are going to be water resistant and built to withstand elements and harsher use much more than the Rebels do. Are the Rebels good cameras? Sure they are. Will the D series cameras last longer and hold value better. If they don't it's only because so many consumers don't know much about them and they aren't as prevalent as the Rebels are among consumers. For durability go with the D series camera bodies. The Rebel XS is a 10.1 mp vs. the 20D's 8.2 so that may make a bit of difference to you if you just have to have those extra 2 mp. But compare the XS or XSi prices with the 30D too. The 6.2 mp 10D I shoot with now can be bought for $200 all day long. When released it was around $2000 so any digital eventually plummets. Some very nice cameras that were extremely pricey when released can be had for very nice prices. Ask about "actuation" count when you buy one. You can do google searches for estimated shutter life on differing models. Seems the D series shutters are rated better than the Rebels but I've not checked it in a long time.
Go to Canons site and you can compare about anything they sell. Here are some links for the two you're inquiring about.
