Buyer's Guide 2024: Digital SLRs Regardless of your budget or skill level, there’s a D-SLR that’s right for you While there are advantages to truly compact digital cameras, the compacts are no match for digital SLRs in terms of image quality and performance.

Buyer's Guide 2024: Advanced Compact Cameras Travel light with high-megapixel, long-range zoom cameras One lens, big zoom—that's the number-one benefit of advanced compact cameras compared to D-SLRs. You don't have to own multiple lenses to go from macro to wide-angle, then zoom out to well over 300mm—which also means you don't have to carry multiple lenses around when you travel. |

Short Reports: Pentax K10D Lots of great features in a weather-resistant, 10-megapixel D-SLR You expect the costly pro D-SLRs to be weather- and dust-resistant, but it's rare to find that in a lower-priced model. Yet the rugged, 10.2-megapixel K10D from Pentax features a dust- and weather-resistant body (including 72 seals) and a price under $1,000. You can't actually submerge it, but our test camera got drizzled on for several hours (unforecasted phenomenon) during a hike with no ill effects. |
