By Delphia Moline


It's now all too easy to take high quality pictures (or edit them so they'd look professional), all thanks to digital cameras and photo editing software such as Photoshop. Of course, if you are serious about taking good photos, you need more than a cheap point and shoot camera and the latest edition of Photoshop. You're going to need specific equipment if you wish to take photography seriously. Of course, the camera is the most essential piece of equipment. For the serious photographer, the digital SLR is highly recommended. So if you'd like a heads up on the best DSLR cameras of 2012, keep reading.

The camera is, obviously, the most important piece of equipment in photography so you'll want to think about the camera you want to use. A digital SLR camera is a good choice for a camera if you'd like to be able to take great photos. Below is information on some of the top-rated DSLR cameras and tips to help you pick the right one.

The Canon EOS 7D makes for a pro quality DSLR that works as a bridge between basic DSLR models and more advanced models. This is especially true when it comes to budgeting. For $1000 to $2000, you can own the Canon EOS 7D (base only). The biggest complaint about this DSLR is its tiny buttons. Many users report that they're difficult to find so it's not that easy to shoot pictures quickly. This Canon digital SLR model has features that you won't find in the more basic DSLR models and point-and-shoot cameras. Often, Nikon and Canon are the first brands that come to mind when people think about high quality or professional cameras. But then again, you'll find that the Olympus E-3 makes for a professional quality DSLR camera. The base model retails for about $1500 and you'll need to purchase the lenses. One of the best things about this camera is the flexible LCD screen, which can allow you to shoot from angles that might make regular DSLR shooting awkward.

When you are shopping for your first (or next) DSLR camera, you need to spend some time thinking about what you really want your camera to do for you before you go shopping. This will help you narrow down your choices quite considerably. Are close up or detailed photos your preference? Maybe you like taking wide angle shots. Are you interested in capturing video too? These are all things to decide before you go shopping.

There are so many digital SLR cameras out there to choose from. Because of the sheer number, it isn't that easy to find the best one for you.

So much depends on the kind of photography you really want to do. But here's the good news: you can find the camera that's right for you if you do some research. Of course, it's a good idea to use the tips we have just shared with you, as they can get you on the fast track to finding the perfect camera for you.
