Digital SLR Timeline

This digital SLR timeline will introduce you every consumer digital SLR camera released since 2005.

I've listed each camera in chronological order (based on release month) and have indicated what - if any - special features the camera includes.

As of 2009, the 5 possible special features that can be included on a digital SLR are:

  1. Dust Control
  2. Built-in Image Stabilization
  3. Live View LCD
  4. Dynamic Range Control
  5. Video

You can use this digital SLR timeline for several different purposes:

  • Find out which cameras were milestones in the development of new technology
  • See when certain features were widely adopted
  • Find out if an older camera includes all the features you really need

This last one is especially important for anyone who doesn't want to pay top dollar for a new digital SLR camera.

If you don't think that you'd ever use features like a live view LCD or dynamic range control, then you can save a ton of money by getting a used two-year-old camera that doesn't include them.

The timeline is available as a PDF file that you can download and read at your leisure - you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it.
