what if the difference between a camera body and a camera?
At pcworld.co.uk I was looking at the SLR Cameras and the second camera said: Canon Eos 1000D Digital SLR Camera Body – 10.1 mp. Although the first one said: Alpha DSLR-A230 Digital SLR Camera + 18-55mm Sony Zoom Lens.
The Canon Camera said: camera body.
The Alpha said: camera.
Explain.
A dSLR is a camera with interchangeable lenses.
A “body only” camera means that the camera is not a compact or prosumer camera but a higher-end digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera. These types of cameras normally support professional features including the ability to shoot faster shots with less noise in the resulting photos.
Unlike other Digital Cameras, digital SLRs allow you to replace the lens, allowing for different degrees of wide-angle and telephoto shots. Plus, some lenses are ‘faster’ than others (ones with a larger aperture), allowing you to shoot even clearer photos in low-light conditions.
Since most dSLR purchasers want to choose a lens or group of lenses based on their photography needs, most dSLR cameras are sold as “body only”, as cameras without a lens.
–
Body-only means that the camera comes without any lenses and you will have to purchase the lens (or lenses) separately. Any listing mentioning a lens or lenses (like the one you saw, “+ 18-55mm Sony Zoom Lens”) means that the camera (camera body) comes with that lens when you buy it.
Hope this answers your question.
