Just the other day I saw a lady with a fancy and very professional Nikon DSLR. Since I am a jelaous person I couldn’t stop but get glimpses of the camera and the regime she was using.

It’s the funniest thing actually. I have always been thought both by my dad and the courses I have taken that you are dumb taking pictures with auto regime when holding a DSLR. It’s funny because I see it almost always. And then they whine about poor pictures and wonder how great pictures are taken. I have even heard some people saying that a regular point-and-shoot was better and some even think about going back! Like, c’mon people, really?!

First, before buying one, think through what are you prepared to suffer for great pictures and how much are you willing to spend your time for one great shot.

Second, if you already own a DSLR, give it some time. Try out different regimes and play around in a safe environment. You know what, if you know your camera, you’ll prove both yourself and others the worth of investment …

Third, keep it mind that professionals take their point-and-shoot’ers with’em in case they want to take auto pictures. Those cameras are handy and take wonderful pictures most of the time and occasions. So, before selling your DSLR, think twice … There never has been a thing suitable for everything, trust me.
