just wondering… i never got the concept of a DSLR (well, actually i never bothered to ask) so, what WOULD be considered a DSLR camera and how would i tell the difference between a DSLR and a normal digital camera?
thanks!

You can change the lens on a DSLR, a DSLR will have a large sensor.
The SX10 IS is a presume camera, you cannot change the lens, and the sensor size is about 14 times smaller than the smallest sensor on a DSLR.
Does it matter? You bet it does, particularly in low light. With a small sensor noise will be a lot more noticeable and bright areas are much more likely to burn out to white which will have no detail.
Images taken with a SX10 IS may well look OK in isolation, a direct side by side comparison with the same scene shot with a DSLR and a prime lens is jaw droppingly, gob smackingly better.

No, it’s not. Single lens reflex – SLR means that you view the subject through the lens, not a viewfinder. They have interchangeable lenses as well. And by me, superior images. The SX10 IS is a good camera and considered a prosumer digital camera – significantly above the regular point and shoot. A prosumer is the type of camera a photographer might bring as a backup camera or the type of camera that they always carry with them to have handy. That’s what I do, and it produces great images, but my Nikon D80 DLSR is magnificent.
