With so many cameras receiving the highest rating, which camera should you choose if you are in the market for a new DSLR?\u00c2\u00a0 The answer usually comes down to lenses. If you have a lens or set of lenses that you like, get a digital camera that will take your lenses.<\/p>\n
If you need certain specialized lenses, then pick a camera brand that has the lenses you need.
\nIf you don’t have any lenses, or your lenses don’t fit any of the current DLSRs, decide on your price range and pick out several models and brands of cameras in your price range.\u00c2\u00a0 Go to a well equipped camera store and try the cameras out to see how they feel and work in your hands. Narrow down your choices to your top two models.\u00c2\u00a0 Then rent both of your favorite models (with a lens) for a week (one week with each, not both at the same time). Online camera and lens rentals have become quite reasonable. A week with each camera will tell you which one you most like to work with.
\nAnd remember, you can’t go too far wrong with most any recent DSLR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
