Owning a digital camera today is very convenient. A common perception is that only the digital sensory lens reflex (DSLR) type can accommodate add-on lenses but these days, even the point and shoot can use them.Several camera manufacturers have already released interchangeable lens models. These include Olympus, Panasonic, Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony and Minolta.Compared to the DSLR units, the lens mount for compact cameras is smaller but can be used with adapters from the larger mount.

There are some brands worth considering if you're looking to buy this camera. The Sony Alpha NEX-5 is the first interchangeable lens compact camera of Sony with the capabilities of a DSLR unit but at a more affordable price. Although it lacks a built-in flash, it can give you top quality photos and videos. Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GF2 camera is now considered the smallest camera that features interchangeable lens and a built-in flash strobe that is a pop-up type. This single-lens direct view model, which is yet to be released in January next year, accommodates additional lens that can also be used with other digital cameras of the same brand.
