If you’re new to photography and interested in acquiring a DSLR, then here’s a look at some great entry-level models for you to choose from.
When it comes to choosing a camera, you’re generally greeted with three options — point and shoot, mirrorless and DSLR models. Point and shoot are the simplest to use and are great for casual users, but they don’t necessarily provide the best quality. If image quality is what you’re looking for, then you would need to choose either a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera or a DSLR.The main difference between the two is that the former features a smaller form factor since it doesn’t have a physical mirror inside. However, of the three, DSLR cameras are considered to be the best option and are used by professional photographers the world over. If you’re new to photography and interested in acquiring a DSLR, then here’s a look at some great entry-level models for you to choose from.
Nikon D3200
This model was one of the most awaited DSLR cameras of 2012. Succeeding the D3100, this camera is Nikon’s entry-level option and it features vast improvements over its predecessor. The major improvement found on this model is that it uses a 24.2MP CMOS sensor as opposed to the 14.2 MP found on the D3100 giving users the option to capture stills at a resolution of 6,016 x 4,000 pixels. The ISO range of this camera is great as well, allowing you to capture images well in low-light conditions. Targeting users new to photography, Nikon has included a guide mode that assists you in capturing images. This is a great feature and can definitely benefit those who are using a DSLR for the first time. Another great addition is that this model comes with the ability to capture videos in Full HD 1080p at 30fps, keeping it on par with higher-end models in the market.
