5 Things To Consider While Buying a DSLR Under 50k
Let us see the different things to be considered while buying a DSLR under 50,000Rs.
Which Brand to go for?
The first question that comes to our mind before buying a DSLR would be which brand to go for. There are many brands available in the market. Canon, Nikon and Sony are the some of the well-known brands.
In order to check which brand is the best suited, you should go to a camera shop and try different models from these brands physically. The controls and the Graphical User Interface vary for different brands. Once you try various brand you can conclude which brand to go for. Getting a good feel of the camera is essential before purchasing one.
Burst Frame Rate
Burst Frame rate is an important factor for those who are looking for action photography, which demands for getting the right frame. Higher burst rate will allow you to have a better shot from a bunch of photographs taken during that action.
Camera Resolution
Camera resolution is nothing but the number of megapixels. Higher the megapixels higher the resolution. An 18- 24 Megapixels would be a good choice. Canon’s 700D body and Nikon’s D5600 are some good choice for DSLR bodies under 50,000. Higher resolution is required only if you are going for big size prints.
Video Recording
Nowadays, most of the DSLR comes with video recording feature. Here you need to check what video resolution you are looking for. For a budget of 50,000, you will be able to get a DSLR with Full HD 1080p video recording capability at a frame rate of 60fps. If you intend to do lots of full HD video recording then make sure that the memory card of higher capacity as well as a write speed matching to your cameras writing speed.
Lenses
Since the budget is 50,000Rs, you will be getting the basic kit lens (18-55mm lens) if you choose Canon 700D or Nikon’s D5300. If you want to have one more lens in the telephoto range then you should go for Canon 1300D or Nikon D3400 with the two-lens option, where you will get the 55-250 mm lens for Canon or 70-300mm lens in the case of Nikon.
Image stabilization/ Vibration reduction is another good feature in these lenses, which will help you to avoid image shake to an extent. So, make sure these lenses are “IS” marked in the case of Canon and “VR” in the case of Nikon.
