Best DSLR Cameras for Beginners in the UK
So you have decided to get yourself a DSLR camera, and now the question is which one to select?
The thing about DSLR is that the camera which is perfect for a wedding photographer might not be the best camera for a wildlife photographer.
Actually, different occasions require different cameras and lenses. The first step in photography is to learn which DSLR camera to select.
Canon Vs Nikon, Which one to select?
Canon makes great DSLR cameras, and Nikon also makes great DSLR Cameras. Sony and Fujifilm are also not behind. They all make great cameras.
One year Canon may lead the charts with some new features, and Next year Nikon will come to the top with some new features.
The main thing to focus on here is not the brand name, but actually, the features provided by the camera brand and the number /quality of lenses they provide with the model.
Camera sensor for beginners:
The camera sensor in your mobile is small, compared to the DSLR, which is bigger in size.
A bigger sensor means more light can enter, and hence more resolution of the clicked images with great details.
Broadly there are 2 types of sensors for DSLR cameras
1) APS-C Sensor – These are smaller-size sensors and are better for entry-level photographers.
2) Full Frame / 35mm Sensor – These sensors are large in size and are found in professional DSLRs.
Beginners should start with APSC sensor Cameras, but if you are willing to go for a professional DSLR and want to be future-proof, then full-frame DSLR cameras are the ones to select.
Megapixels: Do they matter?
Yes, megapixels matter but not that much that you select a DSLR only based on the megapixel. Higher megapixels can give more resolution photos, but it’s not the deciding or selecting factor for DSLRs.
A 16-megapixel DSLR camera can easily beat a 48-megapixel smartphone camera. One thing to note is -the bigger the megapixel, the larger the image size will be.
Beginners who want to start photography are recommended to buy lenses along with the camera body.
It gives you great zoom and focus.
