A DSLR is the dream of many people who have realized that the capabilities of small automatic cameras are no longer enough for them. And there are a lot of affordable offers on the photographic equipment market that can help this dream come true.
DSLRs give the photographer a lot more freedom to shoot than their more budget-friendly counterparts. This also applies to manual settings in shooting modes, and variable light sensitivity, and interchangeable lenses, which allow you to choose the most optimal focal length for shooting an object. Therefore, many people switch to DSLR cameras after a couple of years of using a simple camera.
Canon
The cheapest DSLR on the market is Canon 1100D, its price is especially pleasant if you already have one or two lenses and you are looking exclusively for the camera itself. The Body kit costs around ten to eleven thousand rubles, depending on the store, and includes a camera with a 12-megapixel matrix, a battery, a disc with software, a neck strap, a computer cable and instructions. If you decide to buy a Kit package, which includes a proprietary universal lens, the price will depend on the choice of a particular kit - but in general, none of them goes beyond fifteen to sixteen thousand rubles, and in a number of online stores you can find more profitable ones. price proposals. The kits differ only in the parameters of the lenses, the cameras themselves are the same.
Nikon
The next in the list of budget SLR cameras was the Nikon D3100, which costs about 11-12 thousand rubles in the Body version. If you need a camera with a lens, then you will have to pay about seventeen to eighteen thousand - the lens is fully consistent in terms of parameters similar to those in the kit-version of Canon. The main difference between the D3100 and its counterpart is that it has a 14-megapixel matrix and, as a model, was developed and released later than the 1100D, therefore, it is potentially considered more advanced.
Despite the differences, both cameras belong to the same class, are suitable for beginners and are not difficult to control. Such a camera will be a wonderful gift for a person taking the first steps in mastering photography.
Sony
In the same price range, there is another excellent camera that deserves the attention of buyers. Almost the same money as the body-version of the D3100 costs Sony Alpha DSLR-A290 with a matrix resolution of about twenty megapixels, the disadvantages of which can be attributed only to a rapidly discharging battery - and the fact that Canon and Nikon's line of optics is significantly larger than from Sony. But for eleven to twelve thousand rubles you will get both a camera and a fully functional lens.
