19 Jul 09 Which are the Best Slrs Out on the Market

SLR cameras are like investments. If you use it carefully and also if you regularly maintain it, these cameras could last a very long time. Thats why, when you buy your initial digital SLR, a great idea is to search and to ask some more experienced photographers for which SLRs would give you a clear bang (or a click for this matter) for your dollar. But, for those of you who dont have a professional photographer to which you can turn to, here comes the top two SLR cameras that are available on the market. So grab them while they are hot!

1. The Nikon D40X. This camera is just like second version for the original D40 of 6 mega pixels, but this one has a higher 10.2 MP CCD sensor. But of course this comes at a price, so the D40X will ask you for some more bucks which you could spend on lenses or other accessories, however, thats the payoff you need to accept for more mega pixels. The D40X has the exactly same 420 pixel sensor with 3D color Matrix Metering II that the D80 has, and also has the same processor like D200. If you decide to buy D40X, you have actually four options here: a. Buy only SLR digital camera.

b. Buy SLR camera and 18 mm - 55 mm lens c. Buy SLR camera with two lenses 18 mm - 55 mm and 55 mm - 200 mm d. Buy SLR digital camera and 18 mm - 135 mm lens. This one dont have "auto focus" feature, so in case you want this feature, the lenses could help you quite a good deal. Compared with other SLRs, this one is smaller, but the cost of producing a lightweight camera is that theres just one display for image playback and menu altogether. This could be ok for beginners, however, most professionals or even amateur photographers might want to have secondary display for status. This item is very good for impatient persons because it takes less than a half from a second to start up.

2. Pentax K10D In case you dont have such a considerable budget to spend for your SLR, you can be happy to find out that Pentax K10D is budget friendly. Its price sure is not the lowest in the SLR range, but the camera has the greatest set of features for this price. The camera has nice looking witches and buttons, also a 10mega pixel CCD which comes with an integrated lens shift, and it also has shake reduction technology that is state of the art, the body is water and weather resistant, 11 point auto focus and complete set for exposure modes. Noise reduction is good at ISO 800 and also can go to ISO 1600. But, this camera best fits those who already are a bit initiated into using SLRs, because there is no auto setup to help the novice, and thus a person that want such kind of camera needs to be a bit more initiated.
