Review on the entry and mid level DSLR Cameras below RM3000



People are started to be attracted by cameras nowadays. Although you can get a right smartphone for a good quality image but a Digital Single Lens Reflex is definitely for those who really really like to take photo. If you are not photographer, you do not need a DSLR. I disagree with the statement.

DSLR camera is a higher level camera than those smartphone and point-and-shoot camera. They are interchangeable lens. You will get quality of image that is unbeatable and only produced by DSLR cameras. It sound like you cant differentiate it but the truth is that large group of peoples thought that a smartphone's camera is all we need

The only thing to look at smartphone camera is megapixel, flash and zoom. That all ! But as a DSLR cameras we will look into more sophisticated knowledge as a photographer should know. There are Lens mount, Sensor size, Focal length equivalent, viewfinder.

A wise consumer should not just look at megapixel/resolution of a camera although it is the main factor to determine a good camera. Sometimes, a 16 MP camera could not beat DSLR full frame camera at 12 MP. Why is that? It is because Sensor size. 

Do not be confused. Most of DSLR camera users are like you and me they do not necessarily know everything about DSLR camera to buy a DSLR camera ! All you need to know the simple fact do you want to learn and spend  $$ for better image quality.


Purchasing a right DSLR camera is different with purchasing a smartphones. In smartphone, We can compare directly about difference in specification. For DSLR cameras, it more about individual preferences. A right DSLR cameras means you need to test it for yourself, hold it yourself. Anyways, you can always purchase an entry-level DSLR cameras first !
