WHY and WHY NOT DSLR?
MY TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A DSLR
- Full control to your camera’s settings
- Bigger sensor (compare to PoCaDu) that makes the quality of the image superb
- Lens quality: super sharp, low light resistance, less distortion, and many more
- Interchangeable lens, give you opportunity to use different type of lenses for different purposes
- Superb quality of result even in extreme ISO setting (1600, 3200 or even more)
- High speed autofocus and burst rate for better performance in shooting sports
- Shortcut to settings everywhere! The more Pro DSLR you buy, the more shortcut you get to access the setting. Sometimes you won’t need to enter the Menu in your screen.
- Opportunity to shoot with external flashguns and access to wireless lighting
- The “feels” of DSLR (through its weight), feels very comfy in your hand
- Sounds funny, but carrying a huge DSLR into certain events sometimes give you “special” privilege to duck on the very front row (trust me, people won’t mind a DSLR user to stand in front of them, taking photos. They thought you’re a Pro!)
MY TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A DSLR
- They’re insanely expensive because you’ll want a lot of lenses added to your collection
- They’re heavy! If you mind carrying 0.6-1.0 kg (sometimes even more than that) of camera everywhere, don’t get a DSLR!
- If you ALWAYS shoot AUTO in your pocket, DSLR is a waste of money!
- They need special treatment for cleaning.
- Some High-End (means expensive) PoCaDu have superb image quality in normal lighting condition (search Canon G10 and Panasonic Lumix LX3 in Google!)
- They cannot fit in your pocket (both literally and figuratively)
- You’re more attractive to thief
- If you’re new to photography, maybe it’s just a burden to you. People will have a lot of expectations for you to shoot gorgeous image (which you’re not capable of it yet)
- Having a DSLR means you’ve made a commitment to learn REAL photography
- Absolutely NO if you think that you’ll look cool just by carrying DSLR when you hang out with your friends

Photographer
Name:
Radityo Pradipto
Occupation:
Full Time Student
Favorite Camera:
Nikon D90

Personal Motto:
"Don't Miss The Moment"
I just started learning photography on 2007 with my prosumer Panasonic FZ-8
And after 1.5 years using that camera, I moved to Nikon D90 which I am using it until today... For me, Nikon is the best because it handled very comfortable in my hand, and promising a huge range of outstanding lenses. Photography for me is a freedom to see the world with different angles. The limitation of photography is only in your imagination. My dream is not to become a professional photographer, but an amateur with professionals' skills.
What's on my bag?
