  Digital SLR sales soar

The news come without any surprises for most of the camera enthusiast... since now the Digital SLR got so many features, an amateur can become a pro with just the right equiptment. Two major producer of digital SLR, Canon and Nikon, keep competing between themselves and that work for our advantage. I got my 300D few months before 350D came out.

The only regret is I just dont have enough time to go for photo shoot.....

Sales of digital SLRs continue to rise and nearly doubled in the period 2003-2004, according to industry analyst NPD Techworld.
