People are becoming more and more familiar with SLR cameras as new ones enter the market everyday. Now, digital SLR cameras are not as common as other types of cameras, and have usually been used more by professional photographers.

Every year digital cameras are falling in price, and are now being sold just as much as compact cameras. Many new buyers have heard of these cameras, but just do not know the benefits of them and what makes them different.

In my opinion, the Canon SX10 IS is the best point and shoot ever, and I'm not the only one to think that. This digital camera aims to take on Olympus and be the best camera of this type.

You also have the option of changing the lens, which you cannot do with most other cameras. SLR cameras, when used properly, produce some of the highest quality pictures one will see. The best part about them is that they have close to 0 lag time, making it the best type of camera for action photographers.

When it comes to ultracompact digital cameras, the Canon Powershot SD990 IS is the best model offered by Canon for the holiday season of 2008. It has a light body, it's small and has enough power. It has the latest technology in it and the sensor has 14.7 megapixels.

The optical zoom is 3.7x and you can go with the digital zoom up to 4x. The photos are saved in JPEG format and the ISO varies between 80 and 1600. You can choose between manual and auto exposure and it also comes with lens-shift image stabilization. The lowest prices you can find them at is $300.

The EOS 50D is the latest model offered by Canon and it's the replacement for the 40D model. It comes with the DIGIC 4 image processor, an LCD screen that has 3 inches and a CMOS sensor of 15 megapixels.

The lens that came with the basic EOS 400D kit is the Canon EF-S 18-55 mm f3.5-5.6. One should try to avoid prolonged exposure of the CMOS to the environment as this will also help keep things dust free.

This camera was launched as competition to other DSLR cameras that are entry-level. Though it's based on the 450D model, it's a cheaper version, that still has some of the good features (very good ISO, Live View preview, saving files as RAW or JPEG). The price is around $500.
