Digital SLR or a Compact Digital Camera ?

With the introduction of the Pentax *istDL, Nikon D50 and the Canon 350D / Rebel XT, the price of a Digital SLR camera has moved into the territory of a top end Digital compact camera. With some much choices given to the consumer; which camera is the best to have. One of the major point is, do I choose a top end compact with video features and zoom or pay a bit extra and purhcase a budget digital SLR that has no video capability.

Personally, I would pay a bit extra and purchase a Digital SLR camera. Digital SLR cameras has the great SLR response, experience and better quality picture. In addition, the lag time is short (Lag time is the time between you pressing the shutter release button and the camera actually taking the shot). It also has a greater sensitivity for great night shots and longer battery life.

The only drawback I have is the inability to preview the image on the LCD screen prior to talking the picture. This is why there is a longer battery life.
