How to choose a SLR camera

First, consider your own budget.

There's a saying in playing SLR: a penny for goods, a dime for profit. The price of SLR cameras ranges from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, so we should first consider our own budget and choose the brand and model according to the budget. If you choose it as a long-term hobby or career, you'd better choose the model with the highest budget that you can afford. The configuration of high-end models can let you use it for many years.

Second, consider the brand factor.

The most familiar SLR camera brands should be Canon and Nikon. These two brands have a good reputation and a recognized choice. Canon was chosen as the shooting character and Nikon as the shooting scene. Although it is not absolute, it also shows that Canon is more pleasing in color, while Nikon's tolerance and high sharpness are amazing, which will magnify tiny flaws when shooting people, and high sharpness can give people a great impact when shooting scenery.

Third, the selection of SLR camera parameters

When we choose a SLR camera, besides considering the price and brand, we should pay attention to some parameters of the camera. So what parameters will affect our shooting effect? Common parameters that will affect the shooting effect are: frame size, sensitivity range, tolerance and so on. There is a law in the camera world, that is: the bottom is to crush people. Although it is too absolute, it does reflect that the size of the frame has a great influence on the shooting effect. The wider available sensitivity range allows the camera to shoot normally in more environments. Other functions such as continuous shooting speed and wireless transmission will also affect our experience in some places.

How should we choose the lens we need? There is no fixed standard or reference for this, and it needs to be selected by comprehensive use environment and main shooting partners. Generally speaking, under-focus imaging with the same focal length is better than zooming, and constant large aperture zooming imaging is better than ordinary zooming. As for the law of "focusing on no dog's head and macro-no weak travel", it also has its credibility.

If the budget is insufficient, we need to avoid choosing lenses with repeated focal lengths when choosing lenses. For example, we have a set of 18-55mm lens and want to match another lens. If we don't consider fixed focus, we need to consider whether to choose telephoto or wide angle.

When choosing a SLR camera, novices can choose a set of cameras if there is not too high a requirement. Starting from being familiar with the operation of the camera, they gradually mastered certain techniques and made clear the subject of shooting, which is the most important thing. Of course, if the budget is sufficient, then you don't need to consider so much when choosing a camera, just rely on your own preferences.
