Flexibility with the Lens
Lenses define the quality of photographs taken at different occasions. The ‘one fits all technology’ in other compact cameras isn’t that mature to answer the requirements fulfilled by a lens specific for a certain event or photos’ category. The main elements to consider while choosing a DSLR lens are the focal length, maximum aperture and zoom. You may want these parameters to be variable or fixed in a lens.
DSLR camera should always be the primary choice of a professional photographer. Compact point and shoot cameras are easier to carry but should always be considered as a back up. So if you are one passionate photographer and want to capture this world with the eye of your camera’s lens, it is a DSLR that you should point to when reached by a sale person.
