Digital Cameras for recording sightings

[Chris Ross <>]

The main differences you will see with a DSLR are probably as follows:

Autofocus is faster and doesn't hunt as much, this will vary from camera 
to camera  and fast lenses will focus much quicker.
Autofocus will work better in low light.

Compacts start to develop a lot of noise beyond ISO400, a DSLR will 
always give less noise, though at low ISOs of 80-100 it's not noticable 
till you print larger.
Depth of field will be less with a DSLR, it's how you get out of focus 
backgrounds in bird portraits.
