What is the best SLR digital camera to buy?
I not a professional photographer by any means, but I do like to take pictures and would really like to have a nice camera, but not spend $1,000s of dollars. Any suggestions on a nice digital SLR camera that is around $500?
How about the new Pentax Kr? Image stabilisation built into the camera so any lens you fit is image stabilised at no extra cost. Probably the best APS sensor in any DSLR not just entry level, all the functions you will ever need some only available on a Pentax. By far the cheapest system to buy into. True compatibility with old manual lenses, there are thousands of these around reasonably priced (less than £100, often a lot less). I could go on, but that’s enough I hope.
Here’s a well regarded independent review
