Top 10 Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) Camera for the Beginner

Choosing the best DSLR for Beginners from the World's Top 10 (*hint... P----x)

Photography starts with your eyes. The camera then becomes the extension of your eyes. Each photographer is a world of its own. My point is... it is not the camera that matters (well of course there's Pentax - I'm not biased. Ahahahahaha!!!) but the photographer.


You may have the latest state of the art full frame dslr with the fastest lens... but if you don't know how to compose your pictures, you might as well go back to drawing. All the dslr cameras in the market today are excellent. You can't go wrong with any of them. I'll be writing a lens about how to choose a dslr camera.... soon. You know. What to look for... size, weight, lenses and stuff. Just keep yourself posted on my photography lensology.

So here's the list I went through before I bought my DSLR. Mind you I did my share of research. But this lens runs on the premise that for a beginner, you won't go wrong with any of the entry level dslr cameras in the market today. Just remember that it is your eye that guides the camera to capture time. The camera is just an extension of yourself.

If your planning on getting one, this list will help you decide.

Buying a DSLR

... a short video guid

Writing is very tiring... especially when you know that tomorrow is another office day. So I say to myself why not find a short video on buying a DSLR. So here's one. I might be changing this in the future once I see a better video guide.

Which is the better camera?

Pentac K-X

Nikon D5000

 

My Final Recommendation

...a Pentax K-X


Pentax K-x 12.4 MP Digital SLR with 2.7-inch LCD and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL and 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED Lenses
(Black)

I considered a lot before throwing my money on Pentax. But the driving force that finaly made me decide was the performance of the Pentax K-X in low light situations, the camera body size, and finally the size. Choosing the K-X meant that I can hide the camera better from view and would mean a smaller bag. It amazing performance in low light situations which is comparable to professional dslrs also meant that I would'nt need to buy an external flash in the near future. (although I really need a flash) This also translates into a huge saving since the Pentax K-X is very reasonably priced. I will also be able to use vintage lenses from the 1900's and it has HD video which other entry level cameras do not have. I was at first after the navy blue version of the K-X, then the White one, then the Red one... all were out of stock. I ended up with the black body. Still my choice was excellent.

Surely you've had some inkling or maybe experience in choosing DSLR cameras. Why not share your advice so that all of us can gain from it. If you have any questions... try posting it here and I'll do my best to answer them. ;-)

    I do not just buy something, do not write good feedback from customers, however. I have this product. WOW I am impressed with this camera. And photography class at school and I'm already a lot of issues, maybe go for him. This unit has all the expectations I had, and it is exceeded very profitable. In particular, the rookie is in his first major.Digital SLRs Camera

    The picture above is very funny (the man with the very big camera) and the picture of the girl lay down and holding camera also great, I wish if I could show you my collection of my pictures taken with Nikon S210.
