The Digital Photography School Blog (DPS) has a very nice article comparing and contrasting digital point and shoot cameras with Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras. So if your in the market for a new digital camera I strongly suggest you stop over and check it out, even if you weren’t originally considering a DLSR.

“Should you buy a DSLR or Point and Shoot Digital Camera?” hits on all of the most important things to consider including megapixel size, weight, portability, features, easy of use and much more. It’s also very clear and easy to understand for people who are not technical.

Be sure to check out the readers comments at the bottom of the article, a lot of the DPS readers know their stuff and provide great follow up information like NormMonkey’s post about how using the LCD screen to frame photos with DSLRs (aka “live view”) is different than on Point and Shoot digital cameras.

Check out my Digital Camera Buying Guide for some “what to look for” tips along with a first impression of my first DSLR camera purchase here: Canon EOS 40D Digital Camera Purchase.
