What Are Budget Cameras?

These easy-to-use shooters cost less that $200 but often lack the megapixels and fancy features–like high zoom or a big and bright LCD–of their more expensive counterparts. While they may take a decent photo, they often have trouble in low light, or have a cheap, flimsy feel. You’ll take most of your photos in an automated scene mode since there are few manual controls.

What Are Digital SLRs?

Digital SLRs (single lens reflex) operate much like film cameras.Unlike point-and-shoot digital cameras, what you see when you look through the viewfinder is what you’ll shoot.

Users can change lenses, add accessories, control depth of field, apeature, shutter speed, ISO, and almost every other setting. They are sold in kits that include body, lens (usually 18-35mm), battery, charger and software, or the body alone.

Oh boy, I hope this is true. I’m shooting with an XSi, and it’s a great camera, but damn would I like to have me some movie-shooting ability. The T1i was a bad bet for that because it shot at 20FPS, which is ridiculous, but this new T2i allegedly has selectable frame rate modes. 1080p/24? Oh pleeeeeease!

According to Canon Rumors, the T2i is on its way next week and has, in addition to better movie-shooting, the following features:

• Higher-resolution LCD
• Revised body
• New battery and battery grip
