What is a Digital SLR Camera and a compact digital with overrides?
I’m going to take a basic photography class at the local college and the class requires a SLR or compact digital with overrides. How do I know if my camera has these features.
I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 digital camera that was purchased in 2005. The camera has optical image stabilization, which alleviates camera shake problems. The camera lacks manual control over shutter speed and aperture and has no optical viewfinder. This is all I know about the camera.
Your camera then does not qualify. The overides mean that you can control the shutter speed, aperture and ISO. Since you can’t it does not meet the standard.
I would look at an entry level DSLR like a Canon Rebel XS or XSi or a Nikon D40 or D60. Prices will start at about $500 with a lens.
