why dont dslr cameras take photographs using the lcd monitor like compact digital cameras?

satejalur

I just bought a nikon d60 slr after operating a canon powershot. one of the drawback i find is that the lcd scree cannot be used as a viewfinder. Any particular reason??

Answer
The optical viewfinder offers a better optical quality, important for critical focus and depth of field adjustments.

Also holding the camera to the eye helps brace the camera to help minimise camera shake.

well, like the question said.. among nikon, sony and canon which one is the best dslr camera for a beginner like me? and how much does it cost in Ringgit Malaysia?

Answer
For perfect photos, fast and simple, there's nothing better than Canon's EOS Rebel XS. With powerful features including a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, Canon's DIGIC III processor, fast shooting and more, it's a digital powerhouse. With simple, easy-to-use controls, a compact design, a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, and Live View Function, it's a beginner's dream come true.

what is the best beginner dslr camera?

im starting college soon and i wanna get a good dslr camera. i was looking at the canon rebel xs. idk though. can anyone help me out?

Answer
Spend as little as you can on the DSLR body. You will be replacing it in four to five years, but the lenses you buy will last for decades.

Canon makes good DSLR's but so does Nikon (maybe a less expensive entry level body too)

But before you decide on a camera system, do this:

Go into a camera store and see which of the cameras fits your hands the best.

See which cameras menu is the easiest for you to use to make changes in ISO, camera resolution, white balance, mode switching and make EV changes.

Finally, take a SD card with you and test each camera at their highest and lowest ISO as well as when using the white balance that matches the light in the store as well as with it in the "auto white balance" mode.

Once you get home and are able to see the results on your large computer monitor, you will know which camera is better for YOU, not us
