DSLR are still king in several categories ,and serious photographer can’t imagine their life without them.DSLRs are increasingly becoming more mainstream, and is no longer reserved to enthusiasts.A serious photography enthusiast or a professional expect no compromise from the shooting rig they’re about to purchase, especially when spending a large sum of money on it.

DSLR cameras vs. simple cameras

• Interchangeable lenses: A simple fixed-lens camera has the lens embedded in the camera body.DSLR cameras have interchangeable lenses, meaning you can give them different capabilities just by swapping out the lens.
• Big image sensors: Larger sensors pick up more details in a scene and work better in low light than smaller sensors. Adorama has a nice table comparing image sensor sizes. The image sensor on a DSLR camera is going to be larger in physical size than that of a simple point-and-shoot camera. The physical size of an image sensor is different than the number of megapixels it can record.
• Fast image processors: DSLRs have fast image processors, which allow them to offer minimal shutter lag and delays between shots. A simple camera often will have a sluggish performance, which could cause you to miss a photo.

In between entry-level and full-frame DSLRs are a whole range of models aimed at different users, different levels of experience and different budgets. But if you are not concerned about the budget and need the best DSLR at your service, check these out:

Canon EOS 1500D

• 24.1 Mega Pixel
• LP-E10 Battery
• Display Non Touch Screen
• ISO 100 – 6400
• Speed 1/4000 Shutter Speed
• Crop Frame Sensor

The EOS 1500D includes 9-point autofocusing and Canon’s Scene Intelligent Auto mode for simple point and shoot photography. It represents a relatively minor upgrade to the EOS 1300D, distinguished from its predecessor mainly by the higher-resolution CMOS sensor, which is the same chip as used in the majority of Canon’s current entry- and mid-level DSLR cameras. It also features a good battery life, that gives 500 shots from a single charge.

pros:

• Excellent camera for beginners
• Cheaper
• Good battery life

Cons:

• Bulkier
• Non adjustable monitor
• 9-point AF system fails in dim light

Nikon D3500 

• Mega Pixel 24.2
• EN-EL14a Battery
• Display Non-Touch Screen
• ISO 100 – 25600
• Shutter Speed 1/4000 Shutter Speed
• Sensor Crop Frame Sensor

The specs for the D3500 are very similar to the D3400. The new camera retains a 24.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor, 5fps burst speed and 1080p video at 60fps. Like the D3400, there are no 4K capabilities here. The ISO sensitivity also remains at 100-25,600, as does the 11-point autofocus, but that’s acceptable for a beginner’s snapper. It comes with the playback button which is now larger, with most of the important controls – including menu buttons – have been moved to the right of the display, and the camera now integrates a Guide Mode to help new users.

pros:

• Very compact and lightweight body
• Superb battery life
• Good single-shot AF performance

Cons:

• No touchscreen
• Poor connectivity options
• Fixed LCD screen

Nikon D5600

• 24.2 Mega Pixel
• EN-EL14a Battery
• Display Touch Screen
• ISO 100 – 25600
• 1/4000 Shutter Speed

This is a camera which is very much a sum of its parts rather than having one single standout feature. There’s a high-resolution 24.2MP sensor which produces very detailed images, an articulating touchscreen, a decent 39-point AF system and polished handling are some of the highlights that make the D5600 one of the most well-rounded entry-level DSLRs available.

pros:

• Excellent image quality
• Comfy handgrip
• Decent AF system
• Touchscreen interface

Cons:

• SnapBridge needs work
• Only 1080p video
• Pricey compared to rivals
