Photographers who have used 35mm film SLRs will mostly feel right at
home with a digital SLR. The basic ergonomics, body design and control
placement of most digital SLRs is quite similar to their film-based
siblings. The buttons and dials used for attaching a lens, changing
shutter speeds and apertures, checking depth of field and setting focus
and exposure metering on D-SLRs remain basically unchanged from
familiar 35mm camera body designs. Camera manufacturers have made a determined effort to simplify the transition from film to digital SLRs by making as many of the frequently used digital settings accessible without sifting through menus on the LCD. And they’ve made improvements to the LCD-based menus as well. Today’s typical D-SLR, while loaded with sophisticated technologies, is designed to be rather intuitive in use for the experienced film photographer.   |
