Is it necessary for a novice photographer to buy a SLR camera?

Nikon D3000 sets of machines, that is, more than 3000. You have to buy more than 1000 digital cameras.

High-end SLR can mainly perform better in some special environments, such as waterproof and dustproof, which can be used in harsh environments, high-speed focusing and shooting, high-speed continuous shooting and short shutter lag are suitable for capturing people and objects moving at high speed, good hand feeling can hold the camera more stably, and good control can ensure that basically all settings can be modified without entering the menu (so there are many buttons).

But as far as image quality is concerned, the image quality of SLR is mainly determined by the frame, and the difference between D3000 and D300S is very small.

These are the disadvantages of high-end SLR, and these are the great advantages of low-end SLR compared with digital cameras. It can be said that the entry-level SLR is superior to the digital camera except for its large size.

I recommend Nikon D3000 because of its good workmanship and low price, and also because of its excellent quality 18-55.
