DSLRs are now so popular not just in photography but also in the world of film making. And unlike before, even amateurs are now buying DSLRs for their personal use. Almost everyone then wanted to know if what is the best DSLR camera.

Well, opinion varies from one person to another. It depends upon the preferences of each individual. Instead of arguing then if what is the one and only best DSLR camera ever created, let me just give the best DSLR camera from the leading companies. Let me also show the best for all consumers in general. This is because professionals have different opinions if what is the best for them.

Best DSLR Camera from Canon

 The best DSLR camera from canon might be the Canon 60D. Why? Because it’s not as expensive as professional cameras yet its features include what those professional DLSRs has. It is aslo a DSLR that is good for both photographers and video cameramen (and camerawomen).

Features of this camera include ability to capture 18 megapixel photos and 1080i full HD videos. Of course there is an option to use lesser megapixels for photos and lower resolutions for videos too.

Another exciting feature of the Canon 60D is the flexible LCD screen. Our video cameraman bought 60D and he is now enjoying in shooting low angle shots in a slider using the flexible LCD screen of this DSLR.

Well, aside from those features I mentioned, there are a lot more that we can see in the review of Canon 60D.

Best DSLR Camera from Nikon

Like Canon, Nikon also has DSLRs that are good for both photo and video shooting. The best DLSR camera from Nikon for me is Nikon D3100. It has 14.2 megapixel photo capture and also 1080p full HD cinematic video. Testimonies from those who used the camera says that it is good as a back up camera for photo and video shooting.

I also said that this is the best DSLR camera from Nikon because of its ease of use. This DSLR has a guide mode that teaches you how to get the best shot.

One good feature of Nikon D3100 is the EXPEED 2 image processing engine. This technology produces a highly detailed image and rich toned colors for photos and videos.

Best DSLR Camera from Sony

Sony has been good in developing professional camcorders but not so much in DSLRs before. But in 2010, they created Sony Alpha DSLR that became the camera of the year. This is the best DSLR camera from Sony because of having translucent mirror technology that enables simultaneous focusing and capturing. This can take up to 10 frames per second that remains focused during the shooting.

Sony is also not left behind in combining photo and video shooting. It captures 16.2 MP photos and 1080i full HD videos. It has even has an exciting GPS receiver that records information about the location where you are shooting. This feature is good specially to travelers.

So for me, those are the best DSLR camera for consumers in general. The best DSLR camera however relies on your personal needs and situation. I can just give these DLSRs as suggestions but it’s up to you to choose if what is best for you.
