Photography : The Best Cameras Pt2

Following up from Part 1 of our digital camera segment, we're onto Entry Level Digital SLR.  A digital SLR (single-lens reflex) camera offers advanced features that experienced shooters need, and all of them are compatible with a wide range of interchangeable lenses and accessories.

These are more expensive than regular point and shoot cameras but once you have one, consider it, a great investment.
