1. Introduction

This is the 3rd of a 3 part series in which I look at new products and innovation at PMA 2008. In this article, I’ll focus on Digital SLR cameras. Part I discussed printers, and Part II examined point and shoot cameras.

Digital SLR - The High End of the Digital Camera Spectrum

Digital SLR cameras take over where point and shoot cameras leave off. Digital SLRs typically feature better image sensors, higher megapixel counts, both JPEG and RAW file saving, and the ability to change lenses, which opens a whole new world of zooming, wide angle shooting, and more.

There were several new Digital SLRs introduced at PMA 08. In this article, I’ll take a closer look at four of them, which I chose for their uniqueness, and balance of features versus price. The cameras are from Canon, Casio, Nikon and Samsung.

The Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 is NOT a digital SLR. It's a high end point and shoot with a very big zoom. It cannot be compared to a real SLR.

The Casio EX-F1 is not a dSLR.

You're also letting your anti-Sony bias show again.

dnz is right, and Samsung is just a rebadge Pentax with a different sensor, and it is not a serious contender neither. Where is Sony, Pentax, and Olympus?

I agree. The Pentax K200D and K20D SLRs are much more notable than the Samsung. Which is the same thing with a blue trim instead of green. And Sony has a couple real interesting SLRs on display this year. Namely the A350.
