Are you planning a vacation and wondering how to carry your bulky DSLR camera along, as you would not want to compromise on the excellent picture quality of the SLR. Then you should consider the latest compact digital cameras which offer the SLR image quality. Usually when we are on the move and want to capture moments that quickly pass by, the first thing we use is the handy smartphones. But by the time the camera focuses and clicks either we miss it or we get a hazy picture.

In today’s digital photography conundrum, a digital SLR is not the only option with its big image sensors, super-fast speed of the shutter, and interchangeable lenses, to get the top notch pictures.

If you are very active on the social networking sites and wish to upload your pictures when you are on the move you might feel that smartphones are easier to use. But now you can avail features like a built in GPS, which would geotag your images with the location, allowing you to share the vacation routes and maps when you are online through services like Google Panoramio.
