•Digital Camera by Type
–Types of cameras
SLR: A “single lens reflex” camera is a camera that allows the shooter to look at the subject through the lens. This is the kind of camera that most professional photographers use. SLRs also give shooters the ability to switch lens (for example, from a wide angle to a telephoto).
Point ‘n’ shoot: A small camera with the body, lens, and often flash built into one unit. These cameras usually sell for under $200 and are very convenient, but can have limitations in quality and versatility.
