Compact DSLR's?

13 years 3 months ago #19862 by The Gardener
Have you noticed some camera manufactures make these small DSLR's that have interchangeable lenses? What is the purpose of these cameras? These camera's won't exactly fit into your pocket like a small point and shoot would, so what is the sense of these?

They are the first step up from point & shoot cameras for many people...Especially women who have smaller hands, as they are better able to handle them than they would a more robust DSLR

I see, well that make sense, I just couldn't see the purpose of these unless it was some specialty camera of some sort.

Those would be perfect for my wife , who is petite and has trouble with the bigger cameras.

There are people who just don't want to lug around the "heavy iron". Bonus - since it doesn't LOOK like a professional camera, fewer people "object" to being photographed for some reason.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Another reason is to make them more affordable as well. Using plastic for their bodies lightens them up. ANything below a D300 feels too light for my tastes.

Oh and to answer the question.

Some people like the idea of having a DSLR but don't want to spend too much money and/or just want something light and small that fits their tiny hands better.

These people we call women. :p :cheers: :catfight: :toocrazy:

Now do you mean DSLR cameras of Interchangeable lens cameras? There's a difference. A NEX-5 for example is NOT a DSLR because doesn't have the mirror/pentaprism setup.
