When choosing a DSLR, don't forget your media either. Compact flash or SD cards are the way to go as they are used in practically every camera, there are multiple ways to move the data from them to a computer, and they are easily obtained.

Consider your style when choosing a DSLR. How long will the shoot take? Where are you going? Do you need a fast lens? What is your lighting like and how well can that be controlled? Make sure you get something with a sturdy body. Remember though, choosing your other necessities, such as batteries and lenses is just as important as choosing the camera. Lenses can be expensive, but consider quality as well as the purpose. Batteries are rechargable; choose one with a decent life if you travel a lot, and always have a spare.

Pixels - the building blocks of our art. You can only enhance what is there to begin with. Megapixels are an important consideration when choosing a DSLR. The higher your initial resolution, the more you can enlarge your photos without losing smooth edges, as you would with a lower resolution camera.

Ultimately, your camera is a tool, an extension of yourself, used to capture your vision. So choose one that compliments your shooting style, and best suits you.  Here at Cheap Digital SLRs, we offer you a broad range of cameras to choose from.  One of them is certain to be perfect for you.

Are you going to need to print larger than 11 x 14?
Most point and shoot cameras of decent quality can be enlarged to 11 x 14.

Are you professional or semi-professional?
A professional photographer would definitely have the need for an SLR.

What is your price range?
An SLR can cost two to three times the cost of a point and shoot camera, not to mention the need for additional accessories.

Do you need the use of different lenses?
A point and shoot camera has a fixed lens, an SLR can have multiple lenses.

What about the quality of the image?
An SLR will definitely have a better picture quality if you know how to use the camera functions. That is not to say a point and shoot will not have a decent image. An SLR will have a better one.

How much do you want to carry?
A point and shoot definitely has a size advantage over the SLR. With the SLR, you may want to carry additional accessories making it less portable than a point and shoot camera.

Are you going to take more than snapshots?
Snapshot type photos are served well with a point and shoot camera. The picture quality is good. The camera is small and portable making it easy to have it handy in unexpected situations.

Want versus need.
You may want an SLR camera because you are interested in the potential it brings. If you already have a point and shoot camera and are ready to try something more advanced, then an SLR might be the way to go. In most cases, people who own an SLR camera own more than one camera.

It is recommended that you think about what types of pictures you like to take and make a list. Different types of pictures required different lenses. It is recommended that you choose two or three different styles. The next step would be to learn what all the different lens can do and how they will enhance your experience as an amateur photographer.

SLR digital cameras are built for speed, they will capture those special moments without the delays of a compact digital camera. There are lens for every type of photograph you can think of and in many cases they work well in low lighting without a flash. The ideal camera for a beginner would be one that is expensive and easy to use. You will want one that has dust control (lens prevents dust from settling causing little black dots on your pictures), like view LCD (preview your picture before you take it, just like a compact digital camera), and extended dynamic range (to capture highlight and shadow detail).

Once you have decided what types of photographs you enjoy taking, what is required of the camera to take the best possible pictures and that the camera has basic features mentioned earlier it should be quite simple to find the best cheap digital slr for any beginner.

This precision also carries over into the equipment. A macro lens must be sharp, focus very reliable, and have fast, high quality optics. Fortunately for macro photography enthusiasts everywhere, Canon makes such lenses. Buy purchasing a Canon macro lens, you can be sure that you're getting all these qualities in a lens, and more.

It is also an ideal portrait lens for 35mm, and a short telephoto for digital SLRs with a crop factor. A great all around lens that can often be found at a bargain.
