What I love about photographs is that they never change, unless you’re hallucinating or facing some paranormal activities around you. Photographs have the power of freezing a movement and revealing the reality. Like Aaron Siskind once said, “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” This power of photography is often the reason why a lot of us find joy in capturing moments around us. Although modern Smartphone’s with high pixel quality give you great pictures, DSLR’s are a class apart. However, the main problem arises while choosing the best from the rest. Fret not. Here’s a list of top 5 DSLR’s available in India.
Price: Rs. 44,990
Canon EOS 750D is an excellent DSLR for amateurs and semi-professionals on a tight budget. The camera supports Wi-Fi and NFC and has a fast and accurate autofocus. While the dynamic range in photographs is compromised, its brilliant viewfinder, ease of usage and overall competence make up for the 750D’s limitation.
Sony A68 is a powerful 24.2 MP interchangeable lens camera with Exmor CMOS sensor that boosts sensitivity and reduces noise. The highlight of the camera is Sony’s translucent mirror technology, which enables fast shooting with the continuous use of accurate phase detection AF, even during Full HD movie shooting. The wide maximum sensitivity lets you shoot natural-looking, low-noise results even in low light.
Nikon D5500 is an excellent DSLR in the budget segment. The Nikon D5500 is the smallest and lightest DSLR yet made by Nikon, falling about 6 millimetres shorter than the Nikon D5300. The touch input response is fluid, and while recording videos, you can simply track object focus with a finger.
The Nikon D7200 is an excellent camera to consider for serious photographers. The camera has a Multi-CAM 3500DX II autofocus mechanism, which presents 51 AF points, all sensitive to -3EV. Apart from this, Nikon’s highest-end APS-C sensor-powered camera features improved low light performance, 60p video recording, expanded ISO range of up to 102,400, improved battery life and Wi-Fi and NFC capability.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is among the best full-frame DSLRs out in the market right now. It offers great colour accuracy, along with precise autofocus and good ISO performance. Adding to that are ease of usage, Canon's wide range of lenses, accessories and support. The camera has a high-resolution image sensor with Dual Pixel technology, 4K video recording, a new auto-focus mechanism, and a high-resolution display with touch input, built-in Wi-Fi/NFC/GPS, and a more robust overall chassis.
While there are many more excellent cameras in the market, these 5 are worth considering. Get your hand on one of these, depending on your expertise and choice, and see the magic in your pictures.
