There is a saying among photographers: “The camera doesn’t make the photo, the photographer does.” If someone asks me what camera one should buy, my recommendation shall be buying a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera.

Some of reasons why you should go for a DSLR Camera are: Creative Control, Superior Sensors, Less Noise, Accessories Galore, No Shutter Lag, Instant Start-up, Higher Build Quality, Viewfinder Ergonomics and last but not the lease the Price. Some one interested in making photography as a profession should go for a DSLR.
