Easy to Use Cameras
Getting the best shot in golf is easier when you have the right club. The same holds true for cameras—here are the best for memorializing that round at Pebble Beach.
Like most electronics, digital cameras keep getting better and cheaper. Compact cameras dominate the market because of their size and ease of use, but performance—shutter lag and an inability to change lenses—is an issue.

Single-lens-reflex (SLR) cameras are better for advanced functions and capturing action, but aren’t nearly as portable or user-friendly. Instead of picking one or the other, why not get one of each? Here are two of the best in each category
