Choosing the right digital SLR camera is a complicated affair with a flood of its own brands and types of cameras on the market. At present (Nov 2009) there are at least 10 camera manufacturers (Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Samsung, Sigma, and Sony) and a total of about 40 types of SLR.
We will try to unravel some of the non-technical factors that should be taken into consideration before determining the choice of SLR cameras to be purchased:
What camera that often used by your friend?
Cameras are often used friends also can affect our decisions. If your friends use a lot of Canon, for example, buy a Canon. If they use Nikon, buy Nikon. This will help us in the case of “borrowing free lenses.” A basic trick to try, but it’s better if the term was changed to “exchange the lens.”
Ease of servicing and selling
Try as much as you might be buying a camera from a local store in your town, if not try to buy from the nearest town. When the cameras need servicing or cleaning the sensor, for example, the service will be faster than the need to send it via the package and so on. In addition, we may be allowed to borrow free of charge provided backup camera shop for a camera serviced (for camera service usually takes quite a long time).
How our budget?
The budget is an important factor in determining the camera to be purchased. Peace was the one with the money, build the SLR system not only requires a camera, but also lenses and some other important accessory (photo processing software, computers, tripods, filters, flash, camera bag, battery backup, etc.)
