Single Lens Reflex Cameras are highly sophisticated cameras
that are used by professional photographers in their photo shoots. They are
dubbed as SLR while the digital Single Lens Reflex cameras are termed as D-SLR
or DSLR. In SLR cameras, the light is reflected on the mirror and then it
enters the lens and makes its way to the viewfinder. A SLR or a DSLR, both
allow lens attachments depending on the type of photo shoot. You can attach
telescopic lens to your SLR camera and take photos of the moon or attach
microscopic lens to catch the finest details on a colorful insect. The vibrant
and amazingly beautiful photographs that astonish us in photo exhibitions are
all products of the combination of a SLR camera and a skillful photographer.
DSLRS are capable of capturing pictures of such sharpness
and detail that is unattainable for any “point and shoot” camera, be it digital
or film based. One of the reasons why it is so is definitely because of the
ability to attach different lens for different types of photography. Noise
reduction apparatus works much better in a SLR camera, especially in lowlight
situations. In case of DSLR cameras, the processing chip is usually much faster
and the focus works better than any point and shoot camera. Perhaps higher ISO
range is the prime reason why DSLR cameras produce such wonderful pictures even
in low light. SLR cameras are way better than other cheaper cameras when it
comes to photographing the dark sceneries like a moon lit night.
Although it is true that SLR cameras and DSLR cameras are
the most sophisticated cameras that you can buy, there are certain things that
are not so nice to know about these cameras. One of them is the fact that they
are harder to carry around due to their larger size and also because they are
usually a lot heavier than ordinary point and shoot cameras. If you have also
bought lens to accompany your digital camera in various situations then of
course, your load will become heavier and harder to carry. The second point is
the cost. The Single Lens Reflex Camera you choose may be one of the best
cameras around, but also expect the price tag to be very hefty. A good DSLR
camera can cost you three times or even five times the cost of an average user
camera.
I will now list a few of the top DSLR models that are
available within a budget that does not cause you to go broke.
Nikon D5000 (18-55mm IS lens)
Canon EOS Rebel XSi (18-55mm lens)
Pentax K200D (18-55mm lens)
Olympus E-620 (14-42mm lens)
Sony Alpha DSLR-A330 (18-55mm lens)
These models below are examples of DSLR cameras that are the
best around the world, but beware! They may cost you more than a car.
