Compact digital slr?

Question

i am looking for a new camera, i quite fancy a digital slr, but they are just too big to carry around and a compact camera would be more practical i was just wondering if there were any smaller digital slr's of reasonable price. what about the canon g9?,i know this isnt a slr, but what sort of photos would it produce, i really love the photos slr's produce

Answer 1

the new canon eos xs/1000D has live view function like the compact digital camera..

in my own opinion.save more a little and spend it with a digital slr.

good luck..

here's the review of canon xs/1000D

Answer 2

i have a canon rebel xt and it really isn't that bad carrying around. if you don't want the strap around the back of your neck get a shouloer carrying case. it is worth it to have a dslr.

Under £100.

Cant go wrong.

Answer 4

Actually the G9 is a camera I'm looking at to use as my carry around.

I see it as a cross of a compact and DSLR. It has the green auto box, but it has the ISO dial, limited aperture, shutter speed control white balance control and it has a hotshoe so I can attach my 430ex flash to it.

There are limitations. I've read ISO above 400 is poor and that would be a problem in low light, unless I bring my flash along.

It is bulkier than the other compact and does cost around $500. That's close to a body only price of the older DSLR camera.

Answer 5

You should get the olympus e410

it's the smallest DSLR in the world at the moment.

it takes the form factor of a 35mm film SLR
