Nowadays, digital Single-lens Reflex (dSLR) cameras are very much cheaper than ever before. Owning a dSLR camera is no longer a photographer's dream as there are so many affordable models in the market today. Are you ready for a dSLR? If you are comfortable with your camera skills, you will definitely want to have greater freedom over your pictures. And a dSLR will have all the wonderful features for you to exploit your skills.

On the other hand, some people still prefer to just point-and-shoot and not to worry about all the technical stuff such as exposure or shutter speed. Many point-and-shoot compact cameras have more advanced features than before. Not only do they give you perfect pictures most of the time, they now offer zoom, fill-in flash and close-up or macro photography. Some even have a video function.

Before you decide what's the best camera for your busy lifestyle, here are some pros and cons of dSLR and point-and-shoot compact.
