Buying Guide - SLR Cameras

Written by EditPlace

Introduction

SLR Cameras are normally the choice of the professionals and are regarded as the best cameras on the market. You are able to change the lens to suit your needs. There are telephoto lenses for long distance photography and also a wide-angle lens for those panoramic shots. You could purchase other accessories, such as tripods to improve your photography. There are many things to consider when buying digital SLR cameras.

You should consider the type of lenses available to the camera. Light is an important feature when taking photographs and different digital SLR cameras have different light sensitivity. The LCD screen on the back of the camera is also important for viewing your photographs. The varying modes of digital SLR cameras can increase the options to the photographer. All digital SLR cameras have autofocus. Battery life is important as you do not want to run out of battery halfway through the day, so ensure you have spare batteries if you are taking a lot of photographs in one session.

The technology

There are many different features on digital SLR cameras. You will normally have four different style lenses. There is the 50mm lens which provides a similar look to what you would see with the naked eye. An 18mm lens on digital SLR cameras provides the photographer with a wide angle view. Also, there is a 300mm lens which provides a telephoto effect meaning you can zoom in on subjects that are far away. There are also zoom lenses providing a choice of zoom towards the subject. When looking for lenses for digital SLR cameras check whether the lens will be able to fit on the mount as this differs between camera manufacturers such as Nikon SLR cameras and Canon SLR cameras.

It is important to check a camera’s light sensitivity, known as the ISO Range. When taking pictures, digital SLR cameras rely on the amount of available light. If there is not much light the sensor can be made more sensitive. If there is too much light the sensor can be made less sensitive. ISO can range from a low sensitivity of 100 up to a high sensitivity of 3200, where the camera can take images without the need for the flash to be used. The LCD screen of digital SLR cameras is not as important as other cameras because, like traditional cameras, you still can use the viewfinder.

SLR camera reviews refer to the importance of the shutter speeds. If you want to capture a fast moving object, such as Formula 1 car, you need a fast shutter speed, whereas in a dark scene a slow shutter speed is required to get enough light into the camera – although you will have to keep the camera still in order to capture the best possible photograph.

Features

Many digital SLR cameras have pre-programmed scene modes which allow you to set your digital SLR camera for certain scenarios, such as landscape, portrait, sports etc. Many advanced cameras set the mode automatically, although you can manually change them if you feel you are an advanced photographer. Digital SLR cameras have autofocus, enabling you to keep the subject in focus, which is useful for the fast moving objects. If you see AF on the lens it means it is compatible, although advanced photographers can override the system.

Like all powerful objects, digital SLR cameras require a lot of batteries. Most come with a rechargeable battery, but always keep the relevant batteries as back-ups. Digital SLR cameras provide flexibility with the variety of lenses available. All these things are important to consider when buying digital SLR cameras

Reviews

SLR cameras reviews highlight the different companies providing digital SLR cameras, which include Sony, Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Fuji, and Pentax. According to various SLR cameras reviews, digital SLR cameras are able to produce a better picture quality because they have more advanced controls as well as having improved flexibility in relation to a compact digital camera. The SLR cameras reviews say that while the digital SLR cameras might look complicated to the first-time buyer in the beginning they do have automatic modes for the less experienced photographer and the cheapest models are for those photographers moving up from the point and shoot cameras, as like the compact point and shoot camera they now have the viewing screen on the back to help you take the perfect photograph. SLR cameras reviews advise prospective buyers to get a lens kit from the manufacturer so you can enjoy the variable photographs. Nikon SLR cameras and Canon SLR cameras have the widest range of lenses, although they will only serve Nikon SLR cameras and Canon SLR cameras respectively.

Brands

There are a variety of digital SLR cameras on the market and two leading manufacturers are Canon and Nikon. There are Canon SLR cameras for professionals and keen photographers just as there are Nikon SLR cameras for the professional photographer and the amateur enthusiast.

One of the Canon SLR cameras is the Canon EOS 500D. This 15.1 MP Canon SLR camera is able to produce large poster-size photographs. Alternatively it can crop your images while keeping the vital detail. It is able to film in HD and has a high ISO for situations with low light.

Another Canon SLR camera is the Canon EOS 550D. The 18 MP SLR camera reviews give it a good critique. The SLR cameras reviews also say it can produce excellent quality photographs at poster size and has a high ISO in circumstances of low light.

Another one of Canon SLR cameras is the Canon EOS 400D. The 10.1 MP camera is able to produce high quality photographs although it is not as powerful as the two mentioned above. It comes with an integrated cleaning system which keeps the sensors free from dust and dirt. One advantage with this Canon SLR camera is you have a large and bright LCD screen which gives you a better view when looking at your photographs.

Nikon SLR cameras are graded as either professional or for the average consumer. The Nikon D700 is a professional Nikon SLR camera. Although the camera itself is quite small it packs a punch. It has a 12.1 MP sensor and has an ISO range of 6400 to 200 as well as having a dust-reduction unit.

Another professional Nikon SLR camera is the Nikon D3X which is excellent for high resolution photography. It is able to take a staggering 24.5 MP photograph and can take it to great definition and has an ISO range from 1600 down to 100. It has a durable Kevlar/carbon fibre-composite shutter. This Nikon SLR camera also has a three inch LCD monitor.

A consumer Nikon SLR camera is the Nikon D7000 which has high end technology in a smaller camera. It boasts a 16.2 MP image sensor and has the same ISO range as the professional Nikon SLR camera, the Nikon D3X, of 100 up to 1600.

Another consumer Nikon SLR camera is the D5100 which is designed for the photographer to be creative. It is able to take a 16.2 MP picture, which gives lifelike images with strong colours. It also has a much higher ISO range taking it from 100 up to 6400, meaning it is excellent to use in dark areas, enabling you to take an excellent photograph.
