It seems every other week, I encounter someone that has just bought their first digital SLR camera.  In most cases, these people had upgraded from a compact digital camera, also called a point-and-shoot camera. 

I thought I would share some links to information which will help these beginners learn to use their new camera.

Unlike many compact, “point-and-shoot” cameras, a digital single-lens reflex camera offers more flexibility to create great shots.  Of course, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the options provided by your first digital SLR camera.

Here are two free websites that offer sample photos and interactive tutorials.

Don’t worry if you don’t own a Canon or Nikon digital SLR camera.  A lot information is applicable to any digial SLR camera.
