Words: Violet
Whether an avid enthusiast or a new-comer to the game, who has got the photography bug, here is our choice of the best DSLR cameras to buy this year…
CANON EOS 70D
Fast and sharp, this camera is good in low light. The kit lens is suitable for detail shots and portrait work. It boasts the latest high performance photo and video imaging capabilities for professionals and discerning image makers alike. An 18 megapixel APS-C format CMOS sensor paired with Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors enables fast, 8 frames per second shooting and expanded ISO 100-12800 sensitivity without having to compromise on quality.

The Nikon D610 is a new full-frame DSLR camera that updates last year’s D600 with a new shutter mechanism, faster 6fps burst shooting and a new Quiet Release Burst mode, and an improved auto white balance system.With 24.3 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, 3.2 inch LCD display, ability to shoot full HD videos up to 30fps, this is defniitely up there with the best full-frame SLR’d for image quality – with stunning rendering of colours and details and extremely low noise at ISO speeds.

CANON EOS 1000D
In short, this is an engineering marvel, quite how Canon managed to make such a small DSLR we will never know – it’s small size it’s absolute trump card. If your looking for small and easily transportable, then this your guy. The Canon EOS 100D’s size also makes it less intimidating for entry-level users, and for those using a DSLR for the first time, there are modes designed to offer a helping hand. Built into the camera is a useful feature guide, which shows exactly what each different function of the camera does, and the effect that changing them has. Plus, there are more than ten scene modes available for manual selection.

PENTAX K-30
The K-30 is quite a complex camera in terms of functionality and the number of external controls that it offers, with 19 in total and a lot of them having more than one function. Despite the presence of so many switches, the Pentax K-30 doesn’t feel too cluttered or intimidating, although it will certainly take some time to adapt to for people moving up from a simpler entry-level SLR. It is a great alternative to similar offerings from the usual Nikon, Canon and Sony, proving that Pentax can continue to deliver great models at more affordable prices. If you’re looking for an intuitive, fast DSLR that delivers great pictures, then the Pentax K-30 is what you need.

SONY ALPHA SLT- A58
There’s very little to fault in the highly versatile Sony Alpha SLT-A58. Its output is great, with strong colours and plenty of sharp, well-defined detail. Video performance is among the best, and it’s extremely well priced. In short, it’s one of the most affordable ways for non-professional, or dare we say it, ‘hobby-photographers’, to buy into semi professional products.
