Excuse 3: “Prices will drop.”
They will. Just as they have with every computer any of us has ever bought. Yes, today’s $1,500 DSLR could cost $1,200 in six months. But in the meantime, isn’t the new camera worth a $50-a-month premium? Especially if you’re used to spending more than that on film.
Excuse 4: “I don’t need a DSLR.”
Maybe you don’t. Consider the two new digitals shown here from Minolta and Sony. Both have everything an SLR does, except that their viewfinders are electronic and their lenses are built-in (but they’re the equivalent of a 28–200mm, and they’re fast—Minolta: f/2.8–3.5; Sony: f/2.0–2.8).
Perhaps cameras like these—with major-league control and features—are one of the few good reasons not to buy a digital SLR.
