- We've all been in this position at some point. Whether it's a long term fixation with compacts or a new interest there comes a time when you have to take the leap to a DSLR if you're serious about photography. Don't get me wrong, there are some truly fantastic compacts out there and if you're simply fed up with the shutter delay on your trusty camera then DSLR's aren't the right move! If you're passionate about getting into photography, as a hobby or a possible career, then a DSLR is essential. DSLRs are magical, from the moment I heard the shutter go on my first DSLR I was hooked, but I was also becoming trapped. From that moment on I was a Canon user. And with every lens I bought I became more and more tied to the brand. Don't get me wrong, I love Canon, and love every camera I've owned, however it's worth remembering that this first camera could well mean you end up backing one brand for the next 20 years or more.
Maybe you've got some money set aside for your first camera, £500 sounds like a good number, but as you've probably noticed by now you'll need a lens to go with that and some memory for that matter. I'm going to look at what that money buys you when looking at Nikon, Canon and Sony. All three manufacturers have great offerings around this price which are the perfect step into DSLR photography. The cameras I have picked to look at are the Canon 600D, Nikon D3100 and the Sony A55, all with 18-55mm kit lenses.
