The Best Digital SLR Cameras Ever

Now that you’ve decided to graduate to the big boys end of the pool. Time to buy yourself a shiny new SLR digital camera, and leave the old point and shoot for the kiddies to play with. However, after reading up on SLR technology, your a little baffled and bewildered.

Have no fear, as everything will soon be cleared up. SLR camera technology can be somewhat of a maze that sends you wandering from one confusing review to the next great marketing sales pitch, and back again. If your the type that needs to understand all the finer points of any product before making a purchase, this could be the never ending purchase for you.

Buckle up baby, and lets go. Believe it or not, all that technology your battling to understand is a good thing. Really, it is. The past few years in the digital camera industry, have been extremely competitive for the manufacturers and retail folks. As a result, each year they cram more and more features into those shiny little SLRs, and continuously drop prices to stay ahead of the competition.

OK, here’s the easy part. If you want to buy a good SLR, there’s no need to fret. Just about any of the top three SLRs will do the job for you. It’s pretty much impossible to get a bad camera out of this bunch. These days my short list would look something like this. Anything from the Canon Rebel lineup would be good. The XSi or the new T1i should be a corker. Or for some variety, a Nikon D40 or Olympus Evolt E510.

It’s quite remarkable, that you can have any one of those SLRs for under a grand. That’s a lot of camera for very little coin. Don’t even ask me what I paid for my first digital camera. I get ill just thinking about it.

I can make the above assumption with a great deal of confidence, because I know that the single biggest deciding factor to your success as a photographer, has nothing to do with the camera. The single most important feature of any camera, is the skill of the person with their finger on the shutter. A great photographer can take amazing photos with disposable camera.

Another thing you can do, if your still interested in looking around a bit more, is to get some hands on experience. Borrowing a SLR from a friend or relative to try out is a good idea. You’ll get a feel for the controls and how everything works. The more different models you try out, the better feel you’ll have for what feels right for you. Like I said, your the most important part of the picture taking process.

While it can be nice to visit your local camera store to get some hands on experience, it makes a lot of sense to make your final purchase online. All the big name websites have very fair return policies, and online shopping is the best way to guarantee you the price and selection you want.

Well, that’s about as simple as I can make it. Time to decide. Believe me, it’s a lot more fun taking pictures, than shopping for cameras.
