I need a DSLR camera?

I'm in beginner photography and i'm interested in Nikon D3200.im 15 yrs old and i'm going to 10th grade and i want to know the best DSLR out there, unless the one i want is good enough

Any of the entry level DSLR's would be fine. Canon or Nikon are both good - it depends on your preferences, or perhaps if someone you know owns the same brand.

The lenses are much more important, because they will stay with you even when you upgrade to a new camera body, so make sure to buy the best you possibly can when it comes to lens shopping - you WILL regret buying slow lenses.

Canon tends to be a little cheaper and have a bit more choice, including on the second hand market.

Pick a favorite few cameras, compare them on www.dpreview.com, then play with them in a store… Handling them might help you decide which one to get.

The very best thing you can do for your photography, is to attend a class and read a few books and tutorials. Having some knowledge will make a huge difference to your images.
I hope I have expressed this idea clearly enough: YOU need to learn about photography because even the world's best camera will take lousy shots in the hands of someone who has no clue how to use it.

The "best" DSLR is highly subjective, and depends on how much you are wanting to spend.

Currently, the best DSLR is the Nikon D800.

The best entry-level DSLR under $1000 is the D3200.

Nikon fans will say Nikon is best and Canon fans will say Canon. IMO… The "best" DSLR is the one that feels natural in YOUR hands and has controls/menu systems that you can operate intuitively.

Both Canon and Nikon make nice cameras. The best thing to do is visit an actual camera shop (not BestBuy/Walmart) and try the different models within your budget to see which feels the best to you AND they can answer your questions about the cameras. I bought a Canon for its ergonomics/feel/menu and control layout and a fellow photog chose Nikon for the same reason… It is about personal preference.

I'm going to put the "cart before the horse" for a second… AFTER you have bought a camera… The FIRST thing you should do is refer to the camera manual to see how to properly charge the battery. While the battery is charging, READ THE CAMERA MANUAL COVER TO COVER.

Once the battery is fully charged, put it into the camera and then read the camera manual cover to cover again while you are examining the camera and learning the controls. Also, keep the camera manual in your camera bag for the first several months so that it is always available to answer any questions you may have about the camera

Now, back to "horse before the cart"…

The one thing to remember though is to budget in extra money to cover an extra battery, memory cards, camera case, a USB memory card reader, and taxes (these can add another $200-$250 to the entry level camera price).

A lot of people get "sticker shock" when they go to buy their first DSLR. They go to the store to buy the $500 camera they see on sale, BUT… By the time they get everything they need/want and pay tax on it, the $500 camera is now $700-$1, 000+.

Before you choose your camera, let me give you ideas about the Canon and Nikon brands. Nikon DSLR's are generally known to be good at having minimal noise even at high ISO's. This means that if you're taking images of dim scenes, the camera can capture them with more clarity compared to others. On the other hand, Canon DSLR's are well known for its great image quality. So choose wisely.

My camera is the Canon Kiss X5 (600D).In my opinion, it is the best entry level DSLR. What I like about it is its flip-out screen and its lossless 3x-10x digital zoom. But what I like most about Canon 600D is its cheapness besides the great image quality which is almost the same as the Canon 7D, a semi-professional DSLR.

It's not just me who agrees:

Recently, Canon released the new Canon 650D which is almost the same as the 600D. They are so identical that the 650D is just considered an upgrade, but these upgrades are great. The downside of the 650D is that the digital zoom has been removed and it is more expensive.

Read the difference between the two:
