Wow… SLR camera is fun. It took me quite some time to familiar with all its functions. The camera is great but the lens suck.

I like the SLR speed. With its 3fps capturing speed, I can capture anything I want without miss a shot then. However, this only apply on sunny day on outdoor due to the poor EF-S 18-55mm lens. Photo will be blurred if taken indoor. Can’t wait to go for better lens. Anyway, photo is considered good if taken outdoor. I have 1 example at Jayce Ooi’s Photo Gallery for the moment. Cannot take much shot with 32MB CF card. (I cannot find CF card in most the computer shop in Penang nowadays. They sell SD card mostly.) Still waiting for 2GB 120X CF card. Then, I will take more photo and upload those beautiful one.

SLR camera high ISO does not produce much noise than normal digital camera. This is one of the advantage of SLR camera. Noise only visible on 800 (very little) and 1600 on Canon EOS 400D. Higher ISO is useful in low light condition. It will help to capture more light due to high sensitive ISO. However, better use a better lens with IS (Image Stabilizer) and low ISO to have no noise photo. Lens is the most important part in SLR camera. Therefore, better get yourself a better lens.

I don’t like is using the small viewfinder when take shot. I have been familiar with taking shot with large LCD screen. Sudden change to a small viewfinder is hard. After few days of practice, I get used to it already. Besides that, weight it another thing that you face when start using SLR camera. It is a lot heavier than normal digital camera. My SLR still weight less than 1kg due to the light weight lens. However, it will surely more than 1kg if using better lens. Looking forward for that. =)
