Why are DSLRs used for photography and not other cameras and smartphones?
This is a straightforward question asked by all. We know that a good camera or a smartphone having good camera features will click pictures of good quality. Sometimes, quality is not the only factor that is taken into consideration. Sometimes the pixel weight and resolution are also considered by professional photographers. As compared to cameras and good smartphones, the DSLR has the power in adapting the camera with its high-quality lenses as well as side accessories.
Besides low light camera photography, it has other features: high quality defined lenses, high resolution of picture quality and it has a better dynamic range of camera pixels with an accurate color concentration in them. The users can control the ISO light effect in it which controls the amount of light to be consumed by the camera lens as per the user choice.
How to pick the best DSLR?
There are a few factors that should be considered when choosing a DSLR. This will help you in picking up the best DSLR for you.
- Price:- It is necessary to get a good DSLR on a proper budget which will cover all the essential properties of the camera. The camera should cover the features of good quality lenses, durable batteries, a good storage capacity of memory cards, a good range of filters, and a good warranty period. It should be affordable to all so the price range of the DSLR covering all the facilities should be within 50,000 to 1,000,000
- Size:- DSLR should be of an appropriate size so that it becomes portable and easy to carry. Professional cameramen do not mind carrying heavy cameras for the shoot but if someone is up to make travel blogs then light as well as small cameras will be beneficial for them.
- The size of the sensor:- The sensor size is another important factor that should be considered when choosing a perfect DSLR. It should have an average weight of 1 to 3kgs with a medium-sized appearance.
- The resolution of the camera:- The camera resolution should also be properly judged before choosing a perfect DSLR. The resolution factor decides the quantity of the pixel of the picture. The MegaPixel of the camera is very important when you zoom your images to view distinctly. In the case of not-so-good resolution, the image appears to be distorted in some places.
- The camera gear:- The gear is an attractive factor when it comes to choosing a perfect DSLR camera. Therefore, we should choose and clarify the gear property before buying a DSLR camera.

- The shutter speed:- DSLR provides a range of shutter speeds which will provide a high-quality filming capability.
- ISO ratings:- DSLRs provide a good range of ISO ratings which takes the height of photography to a professional level. It is because of the ISO ratings that DSLR is so excellent in low-light photography.
- The size of the LCD:- DSLR also has an LCD screen for viewing the images minutely. This LCD screen has a length of 2.5 inches and a width of 1.8 inches. We can also adjust the setting of the camera and take shots on the large LCD screen.
- The Dust Protection:- Recently DSLR cameras are having the feature of dust protection in them. It prevents the accumulation of dust particles in the sensor. This will help in abolishing the frustration photographers face in cleaning the lenses while clicking pictures. This feature is now available in both professional and nonprofessional DSLRs.
Connectivity status:- The DSLR cameras have the feature of getting connected easily through USB cable with computers or personal laptops. Nowadays WiFi is also available in the cameras which makes the connection properties easy.
