On Traveling Without The Big DSLR Camera {Gadling}

Jul 24th 2012 1:38PM I'm with you, Pam. I was really glad to own a DSLR for the South Africa trip, but these days I'm much more content to bring my small cameras - I call 'em "purse cameras" - than the behemoth. I do think I still take better photos with the DSLR, largely because the zoom is manual and the I can use a viewfinder to really see what I'm framing better than the screen shows me, but (like you said) some of that is a learning curve issue. At least I keep telling myself it is. When does that downward slope of the curve start to hit, again?
