digital photography school Photography is a great hobby (and a great profession). It is fun, it is rewarding and it helps exercise your creativity. Still, you may not entirely enjoy yourself or be as creative as you want to be if you're using the wrong camera. Sure you can accomplish a lot with a basic point and shoot camera and some good photo editing software, but using a DSLR camera is a lot more fun. DSLR cameras work the same as the earlier manual camera models. Determining which among the top digital SLR cameras is the best camera for you is not an easy task. Below are a few things that can help you make a good choice, though.

The Nikon D5000 is the perfect digital SLR camera for photographers who are yet starting. It isn't cheap, it retails for almost a thousand dollars. Price tag aside, this DSLR camera produces high quality photos, which is what you want in the first place if you're serious about photography. Not only does the Nikon 5000 take quick photos, it records high quality videos as well. The camera comes with a nice lens as well. Another one of the top digital SLRs today is the Nikon D800. This isn't exactly an affordable camera, though. For the body alone, you can expect to shell out at least $3000, and the "kit" lens costs extra. The lenses for this DSLR camera are on the expensive side too. The camera is well worth its price because its design is streamlined and it takes photos and videos that are high quality. The one major problem with this DSLR camera is the short battery life so you're going to need to have backup batteries with you at all times.

digital photography school Everybody wants to be a professional photographer but before you start shopping you need to evaluate your actual skills. Go with any one of the basic digital SLR cameras if you've mostly done point and shoot photography up until this point. This will help your transition from a point-and-shoot camera to a digital SLR a little more smoothly. However, if you're an intermediate user or have been doing manual photography for many years, you'll find the professional digital SLRs incredibly helpful. Don't start shopping until you've taken a critical look at your photography skills you possess. That way you won't get suckered into buying a camera that is too much for you too soon (which could ruin your love for taking photos altogether).

When it comes to choosing the best DSLR camera for you, it won't be a quick and easy process. There are so many brands, models and features to choose from. You can narrow down your list of choices if you apply the tips we've provided. It helps if you do some research before you make a purchase.
