Ok, as promised we are not going into an endless review of the various features and specifications of a multitude of cameras here. We are clearly too lazy to do it like that.
So just like the other digital camera categories on the site we did the usual:
- Checked the reviews on the top ten or so review sites.
- Compared them to our own experiences and..
- Called a few pro’s we know to see if there were any bodies hidden anywhere with any of them.
The four we have chosen are all great cameras and are in no particular order so simply put, you can’t go wrong with any of them but our true preference is for the Canon T2i.
They all perform extremely well and are capable of taking truly professional images.
Although these models are considered to be entry level digital SLR cameras it will be a long time before they are outdated and perhaps longer before you could possibly outgrow them.
The true value of these cameras is they take the guess work out of why our photos suck… if in fact they do! No need to worry about whether or not it’s the camera… it isn’t! It’s US!
If you want a great Digital SLR Camera then any one of these will serve you very well.
