Taking your first steps in photography and want to buy the camera that's right for your style of picture-taking? We've rounded up seven of the best entry-level DSLRs on the market and each model will fit a certain set of needs.
. .
Great for tight budgets - Canon 4000D:
The Canon 4000D won't break the bank but will take a great photo.
Canon’s most-affordable DSLR is compact, lightweight, but still has plenty of features that will please photography newcomers. At the heart of the camera is a 18-megapixel APS-C sensor, which will produce prints big enough to make A3 prints. Newcomers can start with the Creative Auto modes, and the in-built feature guide will offer advice, before working their way up to full Manual mode control. There’s built-in Wi-Fi so you can connect to a smart device and transfer images and photos can also be reviewed on the 2. 7-inch LCD. The 4000D can even shoot Full HD movies so you can film memories as well as capturing them as stills.
Great for battery life - Nikon D3500:
The D3500 has a huge battery life of 1500 shots.
Nikon’s newest entry-level DSLR is packed with features you’d expect to find in cameras costing twice the price. Photographers will appreciate the beefy 24. 2-megapixel APS-C sensor, which is a high resolution sensor for an entry-level DSLR. The D3500 is also a great camera choice if you plan to be on the go a lot, as the battery should be good for around 1500 shots. Featuring a 3-inch LCD, 11-point autofocus system and a decent ISO range of 100-25600, the D3500 is certainly a camera that you can grow your skills with. Full HD movie recording at 60p (which can be used to create slow motion footage) and Bluetooth connectivity make this a highly capable camera.
Great for portability - Canon 200D:
Need to travel light? The Canon 200D could be for you.
Quite simply, the 200D is a tiny DSLR and the perfect companion to those who want to take a camera out on their travels but don’t have a lot of space in their bags. Measuring just 61. 8mm long and tipping the scales at just 453g, the 200D DSLR is actually lighter than some mirrorless cameras and well-suited for blogger photographers who don’t want to be weighed down. A 24. 2-megapixel APS-C sensor combines with a 45 cross-type LiveView autofocus system and image can be composed via the viewfinder or the vari-angle touch-sensitive LCD.
Full HD movie recording and built-in Wi-Fi help the 200D prove that good things can come in small packages.
Great for speedy shooting - Sony A68:
Sony A68 gives high-end features for a reasonable price-tag.
Sony’s 24-megapixel A68 is actually a DSLT, meaning that instead of a reflex mirror, it features a translucent version that enables a fast burst rate of 8 frames per second. Another benefit of the fixed mirror system is a sophisticated 4D autofocus system featuring 79 AF points and the A68 even boasts IBIS (In Built Image Stabilisation), meaning every lens you use with the camera benefits from this technology. Images can be lined up using the 2. 7-inch LCD that features a tilting design and the screen is also useful for capturing video, which the A68 can shoot at Full HD (60p) and there’s also an external mic so enhanced audio can be captured.
Great for rugged shooting - Pentax K-70:
Planning to shoot in the rain? The K-70 is a weather-sealed DSLR.
If you’re new to photography and plan to spend a lot of time outdoors with your camera, the Pentax K-70 could be right for you as the 24-megapixel APS-C sensor DSLR sports weather-sealing to protect the camera. There’s also no Anti Aliasing (AA) filter, which should result in sharper imagery and a maximum of 6 frames a second can be captured when shooting in burst mode. The K-70 offers a vast ISO range of 100-102400 and features IBIS (In Built Image Stabilisation) along with a 3-inch vari-angle LCD and Full HD movie recording. What’s the K-70 also includes some more advanced features, such as timelapse recording, Face Detection autofocus and an innovative Astro Tracer feature, which helps when capturing images of the night sky.
Great for autofocus - Canon 800D:
Canon's 800D offers a 45-point AF system.
Towards the upper end of Canon’s entry-level cameras is the 800D, which is also known as the Rebel T7i in North America. The 24-megapixel APS-C sensor camera is paired with Canon’s powerful DIGIC 7 processor, which works in tandem with the sophisticated 45 cross-type point autofocus system that includes Canon’s famous Dual Pixel AF technology. With built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, images can be quickly transferred to a smart device so you can upload while out on location and the 800D is capable of filming Full HD video at 60p. With a burst rate of 6FPS (Frames Per Second) and a guided user interface helps teach photographers how camera settings work.
Great for features - Nikon D5600:
The D5600 offers a large LCD to give a great view of the images.
The 24-megapixel D5600 is probably at the top end of what is considered an entry-level DSLR and, because of this, carries a few more features than some of its rivals.
For example, like the K-70, there’s no Anti Aliasing (AA) filter, which should result in sharper images at the increased risk moire and there is a larger 3. 2-inch vari-angle LCD which is touch-sensitive, so you can simply press an area on the screen that you’d like the camera to focus on. A long-life battery is good for over 800 shots, meaning you should be able to go all day on one charge and, when filing Full HD movies, there is an external mic so enhanced audio can be captured.
