There are a couple of big plus points to having a DSLR camera. The bigger sensor allows for better creative control over depth of field, and also produces cleaner images at higher ISO's in low light.

50 Days With The Olympus E-PL1
Time flies when you're having fun. And have I ever been having fun with the Olympus.

I'm getting a new camera, on September 11th. As revealed yesterday. I'm so excited! Why? It's a huge step up from the small sensor point and shoot cameras I have been using to date. It has plenty of potential for growth in the future, with lenses, microphones and other bits and pieces I can buy … Continue reading It Can’t Come Soon Enough
