I’ve been shooting with SLRs for quite a few years. Back when I ran a darkroom at a local community college, I carried around an old Yashica SLR. But I inadvertently left it in a cab in New York City. Over the years, I drifted away from serious photography, and went through a series of point-and-shoot cameras. After experimenting with digital, I finally returned to the SLR fold with the Nikon D70.
History occasionally repeats itself, so of course, I accidentally left the D70 on an airplane when I was on vacation. Unlike the first time, I stayed with SLRs, replacing the D70 with a D70s, then a D80 and finally the D300. I’ve also had my share of point-and-shoot compacts, and liked a few, but now I use the D300 almost exclusively.
But SLRs aren’t for everyone. If you’re thinking about getting a digital SLR, and are on the fence, here are five reasons to avoid jumping onto the digital SLR bandwagon.
