Unbiased digital camera reviews, advice, and prices

SLR/Professional Digital Cameras

These top-of-the-line cameras deliver high resolution, best-of-class optics, and extensive manual controls. Like less-sophisticated cameras, they are capable of functioning fully automatically, but also offer an extensive range of manual controls. All support uncompressed image formats like RAW and TIFF in addition to the standard JPEG format, making them ideal tools for photographers who use image editing software to optimize their work. Like traditional film cameras, digital SLRs offer the added advantage of using detachable lenses. Though certainly not cheap, these cameras deliver professional-quality performance and the ultimate in creative control.
