Best DSLR cameras in India April 2017
DLRs are arguably the
most popular breed of cameras in India for a while now. These dedicated
interchangeable lens cameras present versatility and performance, and are used
by amateur and professional photographers alike. Here, we look at the best DSLR
cameras in India right - starting from the professional range of full-frame
DSLRs to entry segment, compact body DSLRs.
1. Nikon D5
The Nikon D5
is the best consumer-oriented DSLR of 2016. With class-leading speed of
shooting and precise autofocus combined with great colour reproduction and
ample sharpness, the Nikon D5 takes the cake for being the best DSLR of 2016.
The heavy, bulky body is aided by touch input and wireless sharing standards,
and all of this combine to make the Nikon D5 the best DSLR of 2016.
2. Canon EOS
1DX II
Canon’s
flagship full-frame DSLR, the EOS 1DX Mark II, is equally proficient as the
Nikon D5, but rank second because of the slightly spiked reds and yellows that
take colour accuracy slightly away from the source. Apart from that, it is
equally fast and precise in terms of focus, and offers comparable ISO
performance to the Nikon D5.
3. Canon EOS 5D
Mark IV
Canon’s most
popular mainstream full-frame DSLR got a major upgrade in 2016 with a new,
higher resolution sensor, full 4K video recording, better colours, high ISO
invariance and more, while keeping the essence of simplistic usage constant.
With all of this, there’s no reason to wonder why the 5D Mark IV ranks so high
in our list of Top 10 DSLRs in India.
4. Nikon D810
The Nikon
D810 actually produces equally good, or better colours than the Canon EOS 5D
Mark IV, but is slightly slower in terms of focusing. However, the main reason
why this ranks behind its rival counterpart is because of the degree of ease in
camera operations. The Nikon D810 is decidedly more geared towards the professional
photographer, while with the EOS 5D Mark IV, you can even shoot without
fiddling around with all of the settings.
5. Nikon D500
The next in line
among cameras that we have used and tested is the Nikon D500, which is also the
best equipped DSLR camera to have ever been made. Sharp colour accuracy, good
retention of sharpness and low noise rendition, coupled with class-leading
autofocus mechanism. The Nikon D500 is the first prosumer DSLR from Nikon in a
long time that even pleases the professional veterans, and as a result, can
even take on many full-frame DSLRs around, barring certain engineering
limitations.
6. Canon EOS
80D
The Canon
EOS 80D is one of the first APS-C sensor-powered DSLRs to use a Dual Pixel
sensor, which not only improves significantly on focusing speed, but even low
light photography. A new generation image processor has also led to better,
more versatile shooting cases, and the Canon EOS 80D ranks here among the best
DSLRs made in 2016.
7. Nikon D7200
The Nikon
D7200 offers excellent dynamic range, along with the familiar, mid-range APS-C
body of Nikon’s much-loved D7000 lineup. The D7200 is slower in comparison to
the later launches, but with its excellent colour reproduction, still makes for
a highly competent DSLR to buy in India.
8. Nikon D5500
The Nikon
D5500 has been a defining edge of sorts in the budget DSLR segment, since
launch. Class-leading dynamic range, coupled with true-to-source colours, good
ISO performance and fast and accurate focusing has made the D5500 a de facto
recommendation for amateur photographers. The Nikon D5500 also has an
incredibly light body, which is fun to shoot with.
9. Sony A68
The Sony A68
is surprisingly fun for entry-segment DSLRs. It shoots good colours, although
the slightly spiked colours convert to traces of oversaturation once you
convert RAW files to compressed formats without post-processing. The Sony A68
focuses really fast, and even excels at low light photography, making it a good
recommendation in the budget category.
10. Canon EOS
750D
The Canon
EOS 750D has been around for a while, and we chose this over the rather tiny
EOS 100D because of the better colour reproduction and lesser noise in low
light conditions. While colours do suffer slightly, the EOS 750D’s fluid
touchscreen and wireless networks make it a very convenient DSLR to use.
