Best Answer

it really depends on that you want to use them for.

PSC's (point and shoot camera) are good for happy snaps, they are light weight, versatile, compact, and have a quick startup.

D-SLR's are good for scenery, macro, portrait like photos, with an SLR you can really put alot of detail into a picture, you have the option to keeping things in focus or bluring stuff out. They are more difficult to use than your average PSC, alot heavier, not so compact because you have many different lenses, filters, and sometimes flashes for different effects on pictures. so really they can be really really annoying. SLR's also need alot of maintence, such as cleaning the lenses, mirrors inside, sensors etc... some have automatic cleaners on them which can help but you still need to do a proper job every now and then

I have 2 SLR's and 4 PSC's all of which i use reguarly, by far my favourite to use is the SLR's especially my 'Pentax K100D super' however the camera's i take the most shots on are the PSC's

Hope that Helps :)

What is the best 35mm SLR camera to buy for a beginner?

The very short answer: Any of them. They're all superb.The less short answer: Get any Canon EOS or Nikon auto-focus SLR. For the most part, they're all as good as each other.Now on to the long answer.Pretty much any 35mm SLR ever made will allow you to take astounding photos. The camera has surprisingly little to do with your photo quality; the film you use plays a much larger role, and your talent as a photographer matters far, far more than anything else. The camera's primary job is to get out of the way. Your concerns will be:* Accuracy of light metering: Nearly all cameras do this pretty well. Nikons and Canons (auto-focus Nikons and Canon EOSes, anyway) have evaluative (or "matrix" metering) which makes it nearly impossible to get a bad exposure. (This is especially so on negative film, as opposed to slide films like Velvia; you can overexpose negative films by enormous amounts and still not lose your highlights.) It's dubious as to whether there is a working camera out there that does not have an accurate meter, though. So this might be the least of your concerns. * Availability, quality, price and compatibility of lenses: You'll want to be able to buy different lenses for your camera, of course. This is another reason for the Nikon/Canon EOS recommendation above; there are enormous numbers of auto-focus Canon and Nikon lenses out there, at reasonable prices, which are as close to optically perfect as you're likely to get. Best of all, these lenses will be usable (to varying degrees) on modern digital SLRs. Don't forget, though, that you can get superb lenses in nearly any lens mount. Even cheap-and-cheerful East European lenses from the 70s and 80s (like Pentacon and Helios lenses) can give astounding results if used properly.* Auto-focus vs manual focus: This is up to you. If you're not fussed about having auto-focus, then any SLR is as good as another. If you love manual-focus, then you might want to look at Canon FD cameras, East European M42-mount cameras, and so on. If you're used to digital SLRs, the viewfinders in 35mm cameras will blow you away with their size and brightness. Manual-focus isn't so hard on these cameras. * The luxuries: You may or may not want fully-automatic modes (automatic aperture, automatic shutter speed), auto-winders, and so on. These are nice to have, and another reason for the Canon EOS and Nikon recommendation. If you don't, then again, any SLR is as good as any other.

How can the motion of an object be graphed?

It would depend on what you were measuring as to how it would be graphed (distance from starting point vs time, distance to a certain point vs time, horizontal location vs vertical location, etc).
