Looking for a Digital SLR Camera?
Getting a digital SLR camera in 2010 is a great idea. Reading this will save you time and money and help you choose the best SLR camera for you. Camera prices have actually dropped the last couple of years. As technology advances, manufacturers are able to give first time camera buyers more camera for the money.
The Major Camera Players
The major players are Canon, Sony, Kodak, Samsung, Nikon, and Olympus. But if you are going to talk about bestsellers, you have to look at Canon and Nikon. Now I’m not trying to ruffle any feathers. If you have your heart set on a Sony, then buy a Sony.
And Olympus is cutting into the market share with its new micro four thirds systems. Not technically a DSLR buy they do offer removable lenses.

What Kind of Photos Do You Take?
Now all these cameras are in the $1000 range. The question is… How are you going to use your camera? Are you the point and shoot type just looking for a better quality picture? Then an inexpensive camera might be best for you. Look at the Nikon D3000 and the Canon Rebel XS. Are you a You-tube fan anxious to be able to shoot some videos to upload? Then check out the Nikon D5000 or the Canon Rebel T1i. Are you looking to upgrade you camera to pursue your photography hobby? Then you might want to get the best camera for the money.

I am very pleased to see the sequence number # 1..Canon is my favourite DSLR
canon digital slr´s last blog ..Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
I know we have a lot of Canon lovers out there. What camera do you use?
I use a point-and-shoot Canon Powershot and have loved it. I’m inclined to stick with Canon when I upgrade.
I have a Fuji point and shoot, but I take my Nikon D5000 with me everywhere.
Thanks for this list. I have now an idea for my very first DSLR camera. I only have a point and shoot camera and plans to go for dslr. Although this post gave me some pointers, I know I still need to research more because for now, all I know is that the higher the MPixels, the better. I got the feeling that this may not necessarily be the best factor to base for choosing a camera.

Actually James, more Mpixels aren’t always better, especially for someone upgrading to a DSLR. Anything over 6 Mpixels is fantastic for a dslr camera. Not unless you plan on printing poster sized prints. Then you’ll need more Mpixels. Save the money and take a class or two at your local camera shop. That will help you take better photos.
If I were just getting started, I’d get a lower cost Rebel and a decent lens. You could rock some pretty amazing images with this combination.

I use a Canon 7D, which is fantastic and have just bought a Canon 15-85mm to go with out, after getting a little ticked off with the quality from a Tamron 18-270. So far, thrilled with the lens and the camera is superb. Usability really is improved when you move further up the range.

I’d suggest getting the highest specs that you can afford – the rate of improvement is such that anything short of top notch will look pedestrian in two years time. So any extra money spent now on the purchase will be more than compensated for in the money saved in not having to upgrade quite so soon.
I’m on the hunt for a great camera thanks for this post I got lot’s of great info to help me in my search.
I recommend Kodak, I have tried other manufactures, but Kodak is the best
