Best DSLR Cameras For Beginners (A BUYING GUIDE)
What is the BEST DSLR camera to invest in as a new photographer? This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get from beginner photographers and it’s a valid question!
Whether you like shooting with a DSLR camera or SLR, figuring out which one is best to start practicing with is a common concern.
Many people say that it’s not the camera, it’s the person behind it. While others say, that as long as you have a great camera, you’re bound to get great pictures.
Hmm, I think it’s a little bit of both.
Depending on the type of photography you want to specialize in, you may be able to get a great shot with ANY camera.
Choosing the BEST DSLR Camera For Beginners, Starts With A Goal…
As a photographer, it’s your job to find solutions to problems.
The problem may be getting the right exposure and composition of a new commercial building, for your client who is an architect.
Maybe your goal is to achieve professional-looking images that can be compared to tear sheets in magazines and billboards.
Or maybe you require an amazing auto-focusing lens to capture that athlete in action!
Choosing the best DSLR camera starts with a need.
Think about the subject matter you will shoot most often or the problems you want to provide solutions for (the most), to make the most educated and useful purchase.
…in time, you’ll have the knowledge and experience to pick up ANY camera, even your phone, to achieve a great shot. Like a PRO!
Like most photography students, we start out learning film and transition into digital. These days, I’m not sure if photography schools even teach the process of using a dark room anymore.
I hope they do, because the steps of manually processing your negatives, seeing them appear like magic in the solution, and making edits the old-school way (no Photoshop), are what made me love photography so much!
Learning how to do something manually is the best teacher, before ever using computers (digital cameras) or editing software to do the work for you.
I mean… even if you use a digital camera, if your goal is to be a professional photographer, you’ll STILL need to learn how to use your digital camera’s manual settings.
Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to success apart from hard work and mastering your craft.
…but once you learn all the rules, you can break them and create your own!
That’s the motto a photographer lives by right?
- Know how to use your tools by learning the rules
- Get creative with the rules (by breaking them)
Photography was not my original major. It sort of walked right into my life.
My original major was Chemistry Pre-med and I was on a mission to attend medical school and know everything there is to know about the body and how biology and chemistry work together.
I’ve been an artist since a child though. So, while studying science (and loving every minute of it) I still constantly thought about and craved creating artwork.
Choosing to change my major from Pre-med to art has never been a regret. I quickly enrolled in every class (art-related) my University offered.
…but one day my drawing teacher told me it was important I take a photography class to become a well-rounded artist.
I brushed off the idea, but he kept insisting as if I was missing out on an important aspect of art.
…and INDEED I was!
I gave in and took a photography class, LOVED every single aspect of it, and declared myself as an Art major emphasizing Photography and the rest is history.
About a month into my first black-and-white photography class, that same drawing teacher (Professor Wendell), took me on a field trip.
“Miss Cheri Amour… Today I have a surprise for you. Don’t ask questions… Just come along for the ride!”
Where was this mysterious place he was taking me to?
What surprise was in store?
We soon arrived at a vintage camera store about 3 blocks from my house. They had a few well taken care of SLR (single lens reflex) cameras.
He took the Minolta off the shelves, walked over to the clerk, and handed her $110.81.
Then he turned to me, handed me the camera and said:
“Ok, here is the camera you’ll use for your photography class.
Learn it, practice with it and master it! From there, your entire art career will NEVER be the same.
You’ve explored every other medium, so this class will balance you off and mold you into a well rounded artist.”
I was not expecting my teacher to buy me my FIRST camera, but it was a day I will always remember and value because he believed in me so much that he was willing to spend his hard-earned money on an aspiring art student.
I took his advice seriously and credited him for even getting me interested in photography. If it wasn’t for him I never would have even considered taking a photo class.
This story is important for me to share with you because I want you to understand that being a successful photographer is not 100% dependent on what camera you have.
I STILL have this camera sitting on my desk, as a reminder of where I started.
If I could start with an old-school camera, the kind where I had to load my film in and understand the manual settings, you can surely do the same and not break the bank to get started.
I love the now-considered, “vintage” way of learning photography. However, digital cameras can either be a great learning tool or a terrible crutch.
You can either use it as a way to learn very quickly. For example, there will be no need to spend more money on film, processing, prints, etc.
You can learn the science of taking a properly exposed picture very fast OR you could get lazy, put it on default mode, and just let the camera think for you.
Don’t do that.
Learn your craft. Practice it. Master it!
Options of the Best DSLR camera:
When it comes to the best camera for photography, options range from anyone with a small budget (under $300) to a few thousand dollars (under $3,000) and more.
I want to stress though, if you’re focused on becoming a professional photographer, the lenses you invest in will be the BEST use of your money over the camera body you choose.
In 2010 I made a quick tutorial about choosing the best DSLR camera for beginners:
My VERY first DSLR was a part of the top Canon DSLR cameras at the time, a 20D to be specific, which you can find on Craigslist now for dirt cheap!
The quality I got from this camera would be a STEAL to buy now, for only hundreds of dollars, compared to THOUSANDS of dollars when it was originally released.
When I first purchased the camera, I paid about $2,000 for it. I made my money back from booking paid shoots, but if you’re just getting started, that can be a huge and even scary investment.
Sometimes it’s better to practice with older models and even rent cameras from places like Borrow Lenses until you know FOR SURE what camera you want to invest in.
Here is a slideshow of several images I uploaded to my Flickr profile, from projects I shot, using my Canon 20D:
WHAT IS THE BEST DSLR CAMERA FOR BEGINNERS?
#1 (Canon 20D: $100-$300)
If you’re on a budget and looking for a cheap DSLR, I would STILL recommend the Canon 20D. To this day it’s a great starter camera!
Plus I have a history with it, so parting with it for only a few hundred dollars, doesn’t seem logical 🙂
You can find the 20D on Craigslist for dirt cheap or anywhere else it may be sold.
Since so many other Canon models have been released since this one, the price has significantly gone down!
#2 (Samsung WB1100F: Under $300)
If you like the idea of a quality SLR camera in the $300 range, check out the Samsung WB1100F.
You can find it new for under $300, so you may be able to find an even better deal on Craigslist!
It does a GREAT job and offers all the things you would want from an SLR.
It has a fantastic zoom on it, you can adjust exposure compensation and you can also do some light night photography.
…and the image quality?
Pretty good!
It’s pretty amazing for under $300 and a huge step up from someone getting good at smartphone photography.
The problem with smartphones is not all of them can get a decent portrait.
There’s a big difference between a run-of-mill smartphone camera and cameras with a real lens.
Being able to zoom in with this camera, makes the features on the face look much better than trying to get it with a wide-angle smartphone lens.
It also blurs the background very nicely. Removing distractions is so important!
You also get manual control over a lot of important settings. The ONLY major downside to this camera, is NOT having the ability to change the lens.
So let’s look at an affordable option around the same price point as both the DSLR Canon 20D (where you CAN change the lens) and SLR Samsung WB 1100F.
If you’re at that $200 point, want something newer than the 20D, and don’t mind buying a used camera, but you’re getting a little more serious about your photography and want to be able to put on multiple lenses, check out the:
#3 (Canon EOS Rebel T3: Under $300)
It was released in 2011, compared to the 2004 release of the 20D, and it’s very capable. You can pick up a kit with a good lens for $200. That will get you started!
From there you can upgrade your lenses or upgrade the body and keep your lenses. You can add on external flashes and many accessories for studio and location shoots.
The possibilities expand.
You can do just about anything you want with the Canon T3. It’s a very capable camera and to be able to pick one up for under $300 used is an awesome steal!
If you can spend up to $500 you can take a BIG step up from that camera, with the:
#4 (Nikon D5300: $500 range)
It’s a fantastic value for $500 used, WITH a lens.
The Nikon D5300 has an articulating screen on it, it has wifi and GPS… just about every feature you’d want.
It’s a previous-generation model which is why it’s such a good value but still takes fantastic pictures. It’s even capable of some light sports photography.
It also does well with autofocusing.
If you want something smaller and more compact, maybe even a little bit more user-friendly, check out the:
#5 (Olympus M10: Under $600)
This fantastic little camera is not only gorgeous, but it’s very lightweight.
It has a tilting touch screen and for travel, it’s a favorite of all time, among many photographers.
Here’s a quick and useful review by photographer Angela Nicholson on Digital Camera World:
It’s just an incredible value.
PLUS, if you want to put on bigger lenses and try out portrait, telephoto or even macro photography, you can do ALL of that with this camera!
It’s got great video capabilities and full manual controls, as does the D5300.
So check that out.
It’s important that when you’re camera shopping, don’t focus ONLY on the camera bodies.
A lot of people make the mistake of looking at just the number of megapixels or the zoom factor on the lenses, but I would consider ALSO evaluating several other things:
- Usability
- The ability to grow into it
- How the camera feels in your hand
- How it works
…all these sorts of intangibles that aren’t listed on the box or the spec sheet are so useful to your experience with the camera.
Now… once you get a camera and you’re ready to start learning how to use it, visit this link.
Now that I’ve touched on several all-around options I consider in the family of the best professional DSLR camera, let’s look at cameras made to specifically produce amazing landscape photography!
Best DSLR Camera (For Landscapes)
The good news about landscape photography, much like basic night photography, is that the art form isn’t particularly demanding.
Any of the cameras I’ve already mentioned would work very well for landscape photography.
…but if you want to get a little more serious, I have some more specialized recommendations.
Starting with the:
#6 (Sony Alpha 6000: Under $600)
Also known as the Sony a6000. This lovely little camera is very capable of sparking creative ideas, with its deep dynamic range, fast autofocus, and incredible image quality.
The lens that comes in the kit is decent, but the fact that you can pick up a brand-new camera for $550, makes it just a fantastic use of your money.
B&H did a great webinar going into great detail. Well worth the watch if you want to geek out on more information!
So you can easily put it on a tripod that may be low to the ground and look down at your composition, without having to get on the ground to get the shot.
The viewfinder is also helpful when the screen on the back might be hard to see at times. It’s a great camera!
Another nice thing about it is the small and light size. So if you want to travel with it on family vacations or during weekend fun, it makes it a pleasure to carry.
A step up from that and quite a bit higher in budget, if you can spend $1500 on a new body, is upgrading to the combination of the:
#7 (Nikon D5500 & Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens: $1500 range)
You will take a HUGE leap forward in the quality of your images.
The D5500 has a SUPER lightweight body.
It’s just about as light as these little mirrorless cameras, but it’s a full DSLR with a fantastic autofocusing system, so it COULD double for sports photography and fast action shoots.
…but maybe most importantly, you can attach the Sigma 18-35 f1.8 lens. This lens attached to that body will produce unbelievably sharp and stellar results!
When just getting started in landscape photography, I wouldn’t recommend getting a SUPER wide-angle lens. That could be your NEXT lens.
Something in the full frame range of 16-35 is really useful for landscape photographers, but if you’re investing in ONE lens to start, the Sigma is the one I recommend starting with because I find that range to be MOST useful.
When you’re ready to step your budget up a little more, the:
#8 (Nikon D610: Under $1500 new)
It has a full-frame sensor and costs around $1500 for a new body or under $1000 for a used one.
Here’s a beautiful image I ran across on Flickr, by photographer Torodd F. Ottestad, using the Nikon D610.
Having a full sensor to work with means that you’ll get cleaner images when you’re working in ideal light and my favorite lens to pair with that, is the Sigma 24-105 f/4.0.
That lens is big AND heavy. It’s a REAL lens, but so far the quality is just unmatched. That range going from 24-105 is just fantastic and useful.
…and although you can get the Nikon 24-120 (it’s a good lens), it’s not NEARLY as sharp as the Sigma 24-105. So don’t necessarily get the body with the kit lens.
The kit is less expensive, yes.
…but upgrade to the Sigma and you’ll get better results than if you were to use the kit lens.
If you can spend more than $2400 and you’re getting serious about your landscape photography AND you wanna make those big huge SHARP prints, pick up a used:
#9 (Nikon D800E w/a Sigma 24-105: Under $3000)
Together it’s a fantastic value. I know it’s a lot. $2400!!!
…but you will get breathtaking professional images that you can print VERY VERY large. This combination will result in spectacular images.
- If you want your camera to do some double-duty
- If you want to be able to take sports photos and such
#10 (Check out the Nikon D810 instead)
The D800e is a fantastic camera, but it doesn’t have a great autofocus system.
The D810 is the NEXT generation of that and the BIGGEST thing Nikon did, was they improved the autofocus system.
Autofocusing is not that important for landscapes, but sometimes you may want to use your camera for other things too.
So for an all-around camera, the D810 is much better.
I would again, pair this with the Sigma 24-105 as my first lens, and from there you might decide you need to go wide or maybe not, but you can always add later and swap those lenses out.
The ULTIMATE landscape kit though is the
#11 (Canon 5dsr)
with the Sigma 24-105 f/4.0 lens!
The 5dsr has 50 megapixels. That’s the highest megapixel sensor on the market (at the time of writing this of course).
Coming out of the 5dsr, the images are noticeably better. They’re noticeably sharper and it’s just a fantastic, durable combination to work with.
It’s BIG and heavy though.
So you’ll need to be committed to dragging it out wherever your landscape endeavors take you.
I like heavy cameras. It gives me an upper body workout while working on my portfolio 🙂
…but if you get this far into your investment, this combination WILL NOT let you down!
Here’s a great video I found on the Canon Europe YouTube channel. It shows off some inspiring images taken by landscape and macro photographer, Henrik Spranz.
If these cameras have given you enough food for thought and you’ve been following my posts about the Top 10 Things Every Photography Student Should Have, we can continue with #2 on the list, a stunning photography website!
I’ll go further into detail about having your website as well as the pros and cons it comes with.
Otherwise, let’s get into some other interesting camera and lens combinations that can ALSO be considered the best DSLR camera for beginners!

3 Videos About The Best Affordable Camera For Wildlife Photography You Should Watch.
Wildlife photography is a great way to observe nature and appreciate the beauty of life. It can be a challenge, but the results are rewarding. For example, you can capture an animal’s behavior that would otherwise go undocumented.
If you’re trying to take great pictures of wildlife, you’ll need a good camera and some patience.
I currently own the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV which can be a great camera to capture the most amazing wildlife photos. It’s simple to use, and it has a 45-point autofocus system, but it’s certainly not the ONLY camera that can work well for wildlife photography.
Not all cameras are created equal. Some of them won’t be able to take the pictures you need for wildlife photography. People assume that any camera can be used for wildlife photography, but some cameras are simply not meant for wildlife photography.
Macro-photography is a type of photography commonly used for photographing small objects. So if you’re a bug lover, then having a macro lens is the best thing you can do for your insect photography in a wildlife environment while the best kind of camera for birds taking flight is a long focal length.
It’s the most difficult shot to capture, but it can be done. You’ll need a high shutter speed and lots of light, though!
On the other hand, waterproof cameras are great for capturing the aquatic world. In fact, you can take photos of fish without getting your camera wet! Taking underwater photographs is a fun hobby for people who love the ocean.
Although it can be hard to take good pictures of wildlife who live underwater, it’s the main reason you would want to use waterproof cameras for marine life!
If you want to photograph wildlife and are tired of seeing the same old images, you should consider investing in equipment that will help you make a statement.
I’m a big fan of wildlife photography, but sadly, if you feel you don’t have what you need to get the perfect shot, it may be the only thing holding you back from becoming a famous wildlife photographer!
Let’s discuss some realistic camera options for you!
It is never a good idea to try to predict animal behavior when you are taking photos of them. Especially if they’ve recently been eating! Knowing how to get a shot of animal behavior cannot be anticipated. So you’ll need a solid camera, lots of patience, and an eye for capturing interesting behavior as soon as it happens.
Great animal photography also takes years of experience observing animals in their natural habitat, but as you gain more practice, you will move closer and closer to a wildlife photography PRO.

6 Secrets You Didn’t Know About the Best DSLR Camera Under 400
Now here we will tell you about the BEGINNER’S camera that you can use to learn photography and do freelancing for others with your skills.
6. CANON EOS 4000D:
It is one of the cheapest cameras for beginners, many youtube start with such cameras under 400-500 bucks. But on Amazon, you get it for $369. It is an 18MP camera with a 6.8cm LCD screen. But you will not find a WI-FI option here. ISO range is from 100-12800. Its limitations are that it doesn’t shoot 4k videos and the body of the lens is made from plastic. So we placed it at 6th position.
5. CANON 1300D:
This camera is newly launched by canon after canon 1200D. It contains WI-FI, NFC; ISO is up to 12800 and lots of other qualities. Overall it is best for entry-level photographers. It is available on Amazon.com for 399$. You will get an 18MP camera. Its limitations are that it has noisy images after 1600 ISO and beyond. Even the burst mode is not effective.
4. Nikon D3300:
It has similar specifications as of CANON 1330D but contains 11 points AF. It contains WI-FI (WU-1a/sold separately). It is an old camera but can be one of the best options for beginners. It can be the best DSLR camera for clicking photos only. Its ISO is from 100-12800. Good for clicking during the night. Overall it is a very decent entry-level DSLR. It is available on Amazon.com for 295$. Its limitations are that its AF gets the problem in low light. Buffer depth in RAW is shallow. Neither does it have AE bracketing.
3. Nikon 1 J5:
This is a mirrorless camera under 400 which is a great deal. But the lens is too expensive for them. If you need a camera under 400 for recording videos, it can be the best option. It has NFC support. It shoots 2k videos. It is also an amazing camera when it comes to shooting slow-motion videos. It is 20FPS Auto-Focus DSLR. It has 105 Phase-detection AF points. It is available on Amazon.com for 327$. It has some limitations like its 4k video feature is just up to 15fps and has no hot shoe or viewfinder. We rate it 4.0/5.0.
2. Nikon D3400:
This is the latest successor of Nikon D3300. It contains WI-FI. You can control this DSLR from your mobile phone. You just need to install an app of Nikon called SnapBridge. Its ISO is from 100-25600 which is again a great deal. Video resolution is full HD. It is available on Amazon.com for 389$. It has some limitations like Weaker flash than the predecessor, viewfinder is not 100percent.
1. Sony Alfa A5000:
It is a compact, all-around camera for beginners. The high image quality of 20.1 MP. It is also the latest DSLR launched by Sony. Most importantly it has APSC-CMOS which can detect light better. It has the best video and picture quality among these all. It supports WI-FI, ISO OF 16000. 171 Autofocus points are available in this deal. It is available on Amazon.com for 428$ which is slightly more than 400$ but still a great deal. It has some limitations like it has no EVF support, slow burst rate, additional camera apps costs extra, and doesn’t include an external charger.
Some pro tips for using these cameras:
• Capture perfect low light photos: lower the ISO value or it will be too noisy.
• Freeze movement in shots: On auto settings, if you take a photo of a moving object it gets blur. So manually increase the shutter speed to 1/1000 seconds. Set ISO and aperture depending on the light.
• Take light trail shots: IF you put the shutter speed to 2 seconds you will not get a “LIT” photo. Forgetting a cool image take aperture to F-22 and also increase the shutter speed to 10 seconds, ISO can be 100. You can get the cooler picture by making shutter speed reach 30 seconds.
• Capture better portrait: In the auto setting when clicking a portrait photo which makes the photo look artificial and not so good without natural light. Manually set the shutter speed to 1/100 and aperture to F-29.
• Take better landscape photos: You will not get a good image at a lower shutter sped like 1/50” and aperture of F-35. So, change the shutter speed to 1” and aperture to F-22 and see the amazing results.
So, these were some cool pro tips with 6 cool DSLR cameras with the pros and cons of each.
