I often receive the same question from people, asking me for the best digital SLR camera. I give them the same answer each time. If you want the best digital SLR camera, choose the model that will let you take the photos you need.Any SLR camera you might choose these days will take very good photos.

Picking the best model when you take a look at a number of different SLR cameras is not as simple as it sounds. In many ways these cameras are all the same, but they do have some elements that are different, which can be used to make a choice. For example, you can use the size of the camera as an element, the number of megapixels or the optical zoom, or a combination of these elements. Choosing a digital SLR camera depends a bit on the features that it offers and the rest on what you need the camera to do for you.

First, try doing a self-assessment. While this isn’t something that will help you find your true calling or to quit smoking, it should be useful if you want to choose a digital SLR camera.

For one, you can’t use the Live View feature in Auto mode, which makes it not-so-user-friendly for beginners. The feature is more suited for professionals such as landscape photographers and those who do studio work, because they can connect the camera to the PC and use it for remote viewing.

Kids and pets: Kids and pets are also tricky to photograph: they move a lot, they run from place to place, so catching them in full action is also a bit tricky. Aside from the specifications outlined in the previous category, you will want your camera to be waterproof (kids and pets love to play anywhere that’s messy) and also face detection functionality. If you can get your hands on a camera who has a smile detection feature you should consider buying that one.

Sports and action. While you probably don’t consider yourself an action photographer, if you take photos of pets and kids on a regular basis then you are. Since they move fast and you can’t keep them in one place to take their photo, this type of photography is what you have to do in many cases.

In addition to a good flash mechanism, your camera should have a high ISO number - usually something above 800 works for most dim light conditions. Also, for a perfect indoor portrait picture make sure your camera comes with a face detection mode.

Landscape photography is totally different from taking photos of people. When you take photos of people, you interact with them a lot, but with nature photography you enjoy solitude and taking in the view much more.
