LCD DSLR Cameras

Digital Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras come in many varieties with options for any level of expertise, ranging from amateur enthusiasts to seasoned professionals. A DSLR provides enhanced control over settings and supports interchangeable lenses to accommodate a range of shooting scenarios. Whether your goal is recording a special event, photojournalism or simply preserving special memories, there is a DSLR camera for every need.

Megapixel Rating and Image Sensor

Before purchasing a DSLR camera, it's important to think about your expectations for image clarity. Digital cameras feature a variety of sensor types, including CMOS and CCD. Each type offers specific benefits advantageous to a range of shooting needs. Photographers interested in publishing photos or delivering professional work may choose a sensor with a higher megapixel rating, which ranges from 20 to more than 24 megapixels. Those who will be snapping shots of a family get together or recording their vacations may be satisfied with megapixel ratings that are lower, yet deliver crisp images.

Interchangeable Lens

When determining which digital SLR is best for your needs, consider the benefits of a camera that includes a lens, or alternatively, choose a DSLR camera body only. For those who are just getting started with more advanced photography, there’s great appeal in opening a box and getting started right away. However, obtaining the camera body alone offers the possibility of selecting just the right lens to suit specific purposes. Many lenses provide a host of additional features, including image stabilization and extended zoom for shooting distant subjects and scenes.

LCD and Viewfinder

In many situations, a large, bright LCD monitor is the best choice for framing and composing shots. These displays provide maximum viewing area and are a popular choice for cameras and camcorders. On the other hand, DSLR cameras featuring an electronic or optical viewfinder offer an additional shooting option for greater precision and a familiar composing experience.

Video Capture

While many photographers prefer to simply capture still images, video capability adds versatility to digital SLR cameras and makes it possible to record vibrant footage that captures those special moments in time. If video capability is a priority, consider the benefits of choosing a DSLR that supports high-definition recording with 720p, 1080p or even 4K Ultra HD resolution. And, with a microphone, you can create an all-in-one videography solution.
