You may have read the long, heated debates on photography Web sites and in photography magazines about which digital SLR (dSLR) camera is best. They range from debating the speed and construction of different cameras to their ease of use and image quality. But few discussions concentrate on the fundamental consideration: When you buy a dSLR, it is the first step in building a photography system you will continue to invest in for many years to come.
So what is a photography system, and what considerations are important when you add components to your system? This chapter helps to answer those questions, and it provides evaluation criteria to help you decide which elements you need for a basic system based on your photography interests and shooting preferences.
