DSLRs
are becoming increasingly common, and they are no longer reserved for
enthusiasts. For less than Rs 50,000 is a great start for anyone looking
to take pictures.
Fortunately, Canon, Nikon, and now, Sony have their
leading offerings in the price range in India. As this is a beginner
segment, ease of use is also a priority as this could be your first DSLR
with a flexible lens.
While
there are a few good options available for less than Rs 50,000, we urge
you to check out what you plan to use on your camera. This will not
only help you with your purchase decision but also help you to determine
which lenses you will end up investing in.
First
of all, a compact kit will be enough to teach you the basics. But once
you reach the speed limit, the limitations may begin. If you know your
specific operating conditions, it might be best to just get a camera
body, skip the included lens kit and invest those savings in better
lenses.
Decent
quality DSLR cameras start at around Rs 30,000 in companies like Canon
and Nikon. For starters, these are mid-range cameras ready to test the
water. However, once you get into the enthusiasm category, these
middle-class DSLRs may not cut it, and you may want to look at other
high-end options. Let's take a look at some of these options to help you
decide.
Canon EOS 200D II
The
Canon EOS 200D II is one of the best start-up DSLRs available in India
without breaking the bank. Equipped with a 24.1MP CMOS sensor with a new
Digic 8 image processor, it can deliver beautiful quality images that
are easy to edit.
CMOS
AF dual pixel paired with AF visualization allows users to achieve
instant autofocus with the continuous shooting speed of 3.5fps during
Live View and video. What’s more, it can bring impressive videos with
full HD quality at 60fps even with rare 4K resolution in this segment.
On top of that, you now get cool images in low light conditions as the camera offers an ISO speed of up to 25600.
The camera also plays with a 3-inch touchscreen LCD monitor and has an easy-to-use interface that helps first-time users.
Nikon D3500
The
Nikon D3500 follows another beginner standard for the DSLR - D3400. It
is considered one of the best options for beginners with easy tasks and
quality results.
Comes
with Guide Mode, which teaches the user the art of clicking beautiful
images. The camera also brings accurate colors and fine details with the
help of a reliable 24.2-megapixel sensor.
Nikon
added a SnapBridge feature to this camera that allows users to transfer
photos to their smart devices via a continuous Bluetooth Low Energy
connection. You can also access photos using this connection even when
the camera is off. The Nikon D3500 is a rich feature camera that you
should buy if you are a first-time DSLR user.
Nikon D7500
The
D7500 boasts a 20.9 MP sensor that delivers excellent quality photos,
to begin with. It can record videos in 4K and comes with a sloping touch
screen which is a very useful feature. If you are wondering, let me
tell you that this shooter has an easy-to-use interface that makes it a
great purchase for lovers and beginners. Battery life is amazing and
grips well between fingers. The D7500's Auto-Focusing system is very
fast and customizable and if you like playing buttons and dialing you
will surely fall into the D7500. Let me tell you a little secret. This
Knockout can bring the best monochromatic images without compromising
image quality. Try it for yourself.
