If you are a newbie photographer or a videographer the decision of buying your very first DSLR can be preety tough . Especially with the daunting list of options we have today . Thankfully the good thing is we have some good DSLR that almost every price range or different needs . However there are some things you should consider before getting a DSLR . Today iam going to help you buying a DSLR . Iam going to point out some really important things that you should consider before buying a DSLR
YOUR USAGE - First of all the DSLR for you depends on what you'll using it for -photography , videography or both . If you buying a DSLR for photography you have to make sure it features various camera modes like HDR , portrait , night etc and along with built-in-flash and image editing features . If you're buying a DSLR for videography you need to consider a couple of features that is the resolution it shoots at and the frame rate speed it offers .
SENSOR SIZE - Sensor size is one of the most important features to considerwhile buying a new DSLR . Its simple really the larger the sensor is the more information will be captured and the clearer the photos will be . There are various different sizes but the three most popular synthesizes are full frame , micro four thirds and apsc . The full frame sensor offers the best clarity along with some great dynamic range as the name suggests with full frame you have no crop factor . So what you see through the view finder is what you should . However full frame sensors generally benifits the photographer's . Next up is the APSC format and what's used in most entry level and mid range cameras from nikon and canon . This sensor size brings a 1.6 crop and provides the perfect balance between price and image quality . This sensor size is optimum for both photographers and videographers . then there's 4/3 or micro 4/3 used in olympus and panasonic camera . this sensor size offers 2X crop and uses the 4:3 image aspect ratio . which makes it more suitable for videographers . Cameras with these sensor size also tends to often more framerate speed and video resolution . Let me something up for you . If you want better photos you should go for full frame sensor . If you want better videos you should go for a 4/3 sensors and if you want both you can go for DSLR at PAX in an APSC sensor .
THE BODY- The next thing to consider while buying a new DSLR is the body of a DSLR well most cameras look preety similar . You need to make sure that the economics of a DSLR are perfect for you . Then you should check for dedicated microphones an HDMI port and the number of custom buttons are offer also i suggest you to go with camerasthat have an LCD luochscreen display because it just makes things easy and you can checkout if a DSLR has a flipping display or not because it can come in really handy . Both Canon and Nikon offer touch displays on most of their budgets cameras but there are expections so make sure to check other than that you will get used to the buttons no matter which camera brand you go for .
LENSES- Lenses are very important when it comes to the quality of the cameras . so you need to make sure that the DSLR brand you arae chossing has a good selection of lenses . Actually nikon canon and sony the 3 most popular brands out there have an equally good selection of lenses . However Nikon lenses are said to be more affordable compared to canon and sony also all these camera brands offers a kit length of around 18 to 55 mm zoom lens . However if you are on a budget you should go for a cheaper body and invest in a zoom as well as the prime lens . So you're covered on all the fronts .
MEGAPIXELS - The Megapixel count is important but not as important as you might think . More megapixels don't necessarily mean better photos . 8 megapixel photos are good enough for large prints and even entry-level DSLR come with 15-16 Megapixels . So be honest any DSLR that you buy today will have more than enough megapixels . So you don't need to take the megapixels into account .
FUTURE PROOF - DSLR don't come in very cheap . You need to make sure that the new DSLR you're buying is future proof for atleast a few years unless you're applying to very very soon . Honestly if you are on a budget you should be good enough with most nikon and canon camera but if you look into the professional and you plan to invest this one time you should go with a camera with a full frame sensor for photography or go for cameras with 4K support if you are into videography .
MIRRORLESS OR DSLR - Mirrorless cameras are on the rise . We are not wrong if you're thinking wheather you should go for a DSLR or a mirrorless camera . Well mirrorless cameras have certain advantages . They are ceratainly more portable as mirrorless cameras a smaller and lighter then there's the fact that mirrorless cameras are just way ahead when it comes to high speed shooting . Also mirrorless cameras offer better video capture with faster autofocus and the electronic viewfindewr on these cameras are preferred by many . However i still suggest you to go with a DSLR because for DSLR there are a huge variety of lenses and while mirrorless cameras have lenses too they are few and very expensive then there's the fact taht some people just prefer the more natural and lagfree optical viewfinder in DSLR .
