So, having gained enough experience, running everywhere with a digital "soap box" and taking pictures of everything, you decided to change your old camera to a professional one. Naturally, the best choice for you is a DSLR. But you need to choose it wisely.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a DSLR digital camera, pay attention to optics. Remember that the camera will not shoot, but the lens. Therefore, if you have thoughts of buying an expensive camera with a cheap lens, drive them to hell. Start by purchasing the base kit, and then purchase additional "effects" lenses later. Do not be stingy and get a DSLR camera from a well-known manufacturer. Although it will cost more, but by doing this you will insure yourself against possible problems with the purchase of lenses and other accessories.
Step 2
Another tip: don't bother too much with ergonomics. Each of us has a certain learning potential. Over time, you will remember the interaction of all these buttons, screws and wheels. Of course, I want to work with convenience, but only this convenience manifests itself over time. So for now, estimate the size and weight of the device.
Step 3
There are a few more rules that you should familiarize yourself with before choosing a DSLR. Whatever your friends and visitors to thematic forums say, feel free to choose an entry-level mirror device, regardless of the manufacturer. There are no special differences between them, except perhaps only in cost.
Step 4
If you pay more attention to the functional part, then remember that most of the "gadgets" for novice users of DSLR cameras (such as an optical stabilizer, a menu with tips, game moments) are present in models from Sony and Olympus. Similar models from Canon and Nikon are more expensive, but they are also more serious. If you don't want to pay a lot, buy less expensive models, but pay attention to the manufacturer. As already mentioned, buying a camera of a well-known brand will provide you with an easy selection and purchase of accessories for the camera in the future.
Step 5
Think carefully before buying a DSLR. Go shopping, "scour" the Internet. Rate each model that interests you. Find out all the pros and cons of this model, and then decide which of the pluses are more important to you and which minuses are most undesirable. Realize that the solution to the problem of choosing a digital SLR camera lies on the surface. After making a sober analysis, you will certainly find it.
