DSLR takes much better photos of the kids.

By now my son was 2 years and 7 months old, and it was a struggle getting him to stay still in one place long enough to take photos. And most of the time he was looking down at what he was doing. If I tried getting down on the ground and pointing the camera up, I ended up being tackled by an enthusiastic small child.

So it was my daughter's turn to be in the photos. She is just over 10 months old in this photo. I was very impressed with the difference you get with a DSLR camera. Not just in quality, but also it adds something almost magical - the blur of the background, it all helps you to really see your child. We spend so much time running around in our busy lives, and having these photos helps to recapture those moments, possibly more so than when we experienced them the first time, and were too busy to notice or appreciate it.
