On the heals of my last post, and prior to my full review, I wanted to talk a little about why I decided to get a DSLR camera. With standard point and shoot camera's getting so much better and so affordable, why would you ever get such a large and pricey camera? To be honest, a few years ago I would have been asking myself the same question. However, the more I learned about them, the more I saw how much others enjoyed DSLR cameras, the more I realized it is a hobby that matches my personality quite well.
