The best DSLR cameras are still highly sought after by many photographers. Digital single-lens reflex (or DSLR) cameras are popular for numerous reasons but one standout is that you are able to attach interchangeable lenses to the same body, which you don’t get with digital compact cameras.
While DSLRs are typically larger and heavier than other camera types, the best DSLR cameras aren’t obnoxious or clunky like they used to be. The debate of DSLR cameras v mirrorless cameras is a contentious one and some photographers prefer the heavier feel. In fact, some of the best DSLR cameras feature in our Best cameras for astrophotography guide.
In the guide below, we round-up the best DSLR cameras, but if you’re looking to get your first camera, or even snap up a bargain, then you can also check out our best beginner cameras and best camera deals guides. Naturally though, as skywatchers and astrophotographers, we love DSLR cameras.
If you wish to check out the competition, then we also have a round-up of the best mirrorless cameras. Fear not, if you’re a little unsure if these cameras are for you as we also have a useful ‘Should you buy a DSLR‘ article that might answer some questions you have. We also have reviews for all but one of the cameras in this guide and have a ‘what to look for’ section towards the bottom for a more detailed look and understanding of what’s on show. However, for the best DSLR cameras on the market, all you have to do is read on below.
