What kind of SLR camera should a novice buy?

Beginner photography is the stage of learning and mastering photography principles, such as the most basic shutter aperture sensitivity. The adjustment of these three parameters is quite simple, but it takes a lot of shooting experience to match them flexibly according to your own ideas. Therefore, it is not recommended to buy a micro-camera with a high degree of automation at this stage (because the higher the degree of automation, the lower the photographer's participation, which is not conducive to shooting learning and growth).

If the budget is limited and you don't pursue the ultimate image quality, you can consider starting with APS-C cameras, which are generally not too expensive, have SLR functions, and are resistant to manufacturing. It is more suitable for practicing hands.

In addition, Nikon, Canon, Sony and other manufacturers are now doing micro-orders. These micro-singles have excellent image quality and good performance, such as Nikon Z6 Z7, Canon EOSR and Sony A series, which can all be considered.

Personally, I prefer traditional cameras. We laugh at iron bumps. Although it is heavy, it is very tactile and energetic.

In addition, when buying a camera, we should also consider the subject matter and lens application.

For example, if you like sports, it is recommended to focus on shutter speed and focusing system. If you like portraits, if you like scenery, you may need to consider factors such as camera width.

In terms of lens application, it is necessary to consider whether the camera bayonet can be used for the lens group of this brand manufacturer. Because the more you shoot, the more experience you have, and you will find that you need more focal lengths, such as super wide angle and super telephoto. If the camera bayonet is universal, you can match lenses with different focal lengths at will. Of course, there are also cameras that have designed adapter rings to solve this kind of problem. Personally, I think the shorter the flange distance, the better.

Above, if you are a local tyrant and have sufficient budget, you can buy flagship machine in one step, such as Canon 1D and Nikon D5 (it is said that D6 is coming out soon, so you can pay attention to it). These cameras are powerful and stable.

In the choice of lens, the budget is sufficient to choose a constant aperture lens as much as possible. This kind of lens has good performance and good imaging quality. The constant aperture lens we often talk about is versatile and cost-effective. As for some shots that look awesome, such as Canon 28-300, try not to choose them.

Personally, I don't think it is necessary to care too much about some specific parts and equipment parameters. Can a novice photographer feel the difference between DIGIC and EXPEED image processor when taking pictures? The highest sensitivity is hundreds of thousands, millions. Do you really use it? The pixel difference of different cameras is several million. Can you see how different these photos are?
