What is comparable to a Digital SLR camera but not as expensive / bulky?
Q. Question sums it up well. I had a DSLR about a year ago, and LOVED it but unfortunately had to sell it. Looking for something comparable, but hopefully not as expensive or bulky. I want something I can carry around and shoot immediately. I couldn't really bring a DSLR to get togethers and take candids, since the world knew I was holding it. Thanks.
