Okay the big differences are in the different kinds of digital cameras, the different levels of digital cameras. The consumer cameras don't have manual exposure. That means you can't change the speed, the shutter speed or the aperture like you want. And for some shots, this is very important. Just about all cameras have an exposure level, where you can change the exposure for back lighting and forward lighting. Which I'll talk about later on. But only a prosumer camera or a professional camera will have the ability to go in and do a manual exposure. So all consumer cameras are silver or a decorative color. They have them in pink and red and blue and all that. Now the prosumer level cameras, generally you can buy them in either silver or black. They normally don't come in any other colors besides that. And the pro level cameras all come in black.
