10 best cameras for beginner photographers

Nikon D3200 is the most affordable yet handy DSLR for beginner photographers.The camera, according to reviews, has an intuitive interface and a variety of presets, which allows you to take beautiful photos not only for experienced, but also for beginners. At the same time, Nikon is not deprived of manual settings, including shutter speed and aperture, white balance, supports lens change, remote control and sound comments. The camera is supplemented with an electronic rangefinder, an orientation sensor and a matrix cleaning function. Autonomy is enough for an average of 540 photos. The disadvantages include noisy images in low light, which is not uncommon with a high sensitivity of the matrix. Also, buyers note the loud work of autofocus when shooting video.

Canon cameras are renowned for their natural, beautiful colors and this development is no exception. The color reproduction of the Canon Mark II is often praised. Also, buyers note clarity even when shooting handheld in strong winds and while driving, which is not surprising with optical image stabilization. Thanks to him, the camera successfully compensates for hand shake and provides the best quality in all conditions. Canon is notable for the rare ability to adjust autofocus for custom settings based on existing presets. At the same time, one of the versions of the camera pleases with an extended package, which includes not only the device itself, battery, charger and neck strap, but two different lenses. But the battery capacity and the choice of exposure in this model are small.

The Canon EOS RP is most often praised for its professional photography, which is no surprise given its 26.2 effective megapixels. But despite the high quality and a lot of settings, the model is suitable not only for knowledgeable photographers, but also for beginners. Convenient settings, a clear menu and a decent set of automatic modes make it a suitable solution for beginners as well. The camera also boasts a plethora of ISO modes, allowing the Canon to be better adjusted to the light level. This model is notable for the ability to shoot up to 50 RAW photos in one series. With a durable metal body, this is a great option for shooting outdoors. But it is quite expensive, and the battery capacity is very low. One charge on average is enough for only 250 photos.

One of the most basic yet useful features of the Fujifilm X-T30 for studio photography is tripod support. Given the level of stabilization on cameras for beginners, the option will not be superfluous. There is a stabilizer, but, according to reviews, it does not belong to the best features of the model. But the camera boasts a 100% viewfinder field of view, thanks to which the photographer sees absolutely everything that later gets into the picture. It also boasts accuracy, thanks to its phenomenal 425 focus points, and the ability to shoot up to 216 photos per burst, making Fujifilm one of the best for use at events and competitions. But it is worth considering that the battery is only enough for 380 shots, and if you want to supplement the camera with new lenses, you will have to spend a lot of money.

Despite the moderate price, Nikon D3500 won a lot of positive reviews. It is praised for its modest weight of 415 grams, comfortable body and the most understandable settings. At the same time, the camera perfectly compensates for hand shake and pleases with a variety of ISO modes, allowing you to shoot in any light and on the move. Bluetooth support greatly simplifies the further use of photos. They are easy to send to a compatible smartphone or printer. The body assembly is also one of the best features of this camera. However, the model cannot boast of an abundance of manual settings, which most likely will not greatly upset a beginner, but may seem like a disadvantage to amateurs. Another drawback is that autofocus is a little more noisy than more expensive competitors.

Olympus Mark III Kit is one of the most expensive cameras in the review and at the same time the richest in useful options for any photographer. First of all, he received decent moisture protection and even frost resistance, which is especially important for fans of outdoor shooting. And thanks to the high burst speed, the model is good not only for portraits and panoramas, but also for sports shooting. The camera is capable of producing 30 shots per second. At the same time, it is rich in modes, including 3D video, HDR and even Time-lapse. Also, the Olympus camera is praised for its quite convenient operation. But the menu is noticeably different from competitors, which is why beginners often get used to it better than experienced photographers. In addition, for such an immodest price, the battery here is very mediocre. It is designed for only 310 photos.

This Canon camera is the best choice for beginner photographers wanting to get into SLR technology. At a price that is quite adequate for a beginner, this model offers not only good resolution, the most natural color reproduction, but also a swivel screen with 1,040,000 dots LCD. This high rate provides excellent clarity and quality of the displayed image and the maximum compliance with the resulting result, which greatly simplifies the work and allows you to concentrate on creativity. At the same time, the camera supports not only basic, but useful additional interfaces, including video, a microphone input and a remote control connector. It is also praised for decent autonomy, but photo stabilization is mediocre.

The best feature of this Nikon development was its excellent autonomy. This is one of the few cameras capable of capturing 700 photos without recharging, which is especially important for beginners who are just mastering the modes and settings. At the same time, the Nikon D3300 received a reflex viewfinder, which guarantees an exact match between the visible image and the image that enters the matrix through the lens. This gives the photographer more control over focus accuracy, depth of field, and other parameters. Another feature that allows you to compare the camera with more expensive models is the presence of a connector for a remote control and a microphone input. But Nikon's manual settings are few and far between, making it an option primarily for beginners and photographers who aren't prone to long creative pursuits. There is also no stabilizer.

Canon EOS 250D is one of the most aesthetic and at the same time high-quality models. The camera is often praised for its rugged housing, reliability and capacious battery. The latter is important for any photographer, but especially for a beginner. After all, beginners may need a little more time to set up and select the perfect angle. At the same time, users note the impressive processing speed of the footage, but the main thing is clarity and detail. The camera creates images with a resolution of 6000 by 4000 pixels and is distinguished by a high number of effective megapixels of the matrix, supplemented by an optical stabilizer. At the same time, it shoots 4K video and supports several wireless technologies, but their speed is low. Also, the disadvantages include poor compatibility with lenses of previous generations.

The first thing this camera differs from all others is the number of focus points. There are as many as 209 of them, while a number of competitors have no more than 55. This significantly improves focusing accuracy and simplifies manual adjustment. The camera is also remarkable for its hybrid autofocus, which combines the best features of the phase and contrast types. Including models are inherent in accurate and fast focusing even in low light. At the same time, the Nikon Z50 is perfect for the most modern and tech-savvy photographers. It supports many interfaces, including Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi, HDMI, headphone output and microphone input. Also, the camera pleases with video shooting speeds up to 120 frames per second, guaranteeing smoothness. But the battery capacity here is below average, and the flash range does not exceed 7 meters.
