Susan Sontag mused that the invention of the modern camera forever shifted the focus of the cultural eye. She noted, “To collect photographs is to collect the world…with still photographs the image is also an object.” To wit, we are a society drawn inexorably to both the act of photography and the appreciation of the image-objects we create. They document our cultural lives in a way no other medium has yet managed. Digital technology has enabled us to share the use of photography that was once limited to artists or professionals. Now, everyone can be a photographer for relatively little expenditure. We also can collect the world. Below is a list of the top 10 digital SLRs available for purchase.
