Can digital SLR cameras be used without the detachable lenses?
I’m looking into buying a new camera. I’ve been looking into superzooms, and I have pretty much decided on the Canon Powershot SX 100 (or 110) IS. However, I just found a place that’s offering a major discount on the Canon EOS Rebel SXi, so it’s almost the exact same price as the superzoom, but this offer expires tonight at midnight! I’ve never used a superzoom or a SLR, but would like to be able to take higher quality shots just as a hobby. I just don’t want to buy the SLR, and then find it too complicated, or find that I need to buy other accessories for it that would make it cost way more. Any information that might help me would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Can a DSLR be used without a detachable lens? Well, yes and no. No in a practical sense, yes in a impractical sense. You’ll definitely want lenses if you want to take pictures, but there’s also what’s called pinhole photography which requires no lens. It’s more of a creative technique in these modern times so the answer to your question leans more toward no.
If you don’t want to buy other accessories then you should probably go with the superzoom. You didn’t really specify what type of shooting you’ll be doing. A DSLR will definitely take “higher quality shots” but the kit lens, which you didn’t mention the inclusion of, is a 3x wide-angle, moderate telephoto zoom. If it’s inadequate for your shooting needs, you’ll need to buy a different lens. The superzoom, on the other hand, is an all-inclusive package.
As for the complicatedness: a DSLR has auto modes too but will also have a number of creative and manual modes if you decide to explore photography on a deeper level. The understanding of these settings is just a 10-minute manual-study away. The superzoom does have the advantage of video recording and compactness. I think the SX100/SX110 also has manual modes.
