Top Selling Digital SLR Cameras

These are the top selling digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras, plus SLR camera accessories, from Amazon.com.

SLR digital cameras normally fall into the "prosumer" category at the low end, to full-on professional at the top end. They're priced accordingly, with the top-of-range Canon and Nikon digital SLRs costing from $5000 to $7000.

So, although prices of digital SLRs have dropped in price over the past couple of years, they remain relatively expensive.

The main distinguishing feature of digital SLR cameras is that they do not have a fixed lens, so the user can change lenses. This obviously adds enormous versatility as you can now use lenses ranging from extreme wide angle to ultra telephoto - all on one camera body. That's why there'll often be popular lenses fro digital SLR cameras included in the products listed.

Digital SLR cameras also have larger image sensors than fixed-lens cameras, so can produce bigger digital images with less "noise", particularly when the ISO (sensitivity) is set to a high level (from 800 to 3200 ISO).

Please note the list below is updated daily and includes excerpts from user reviews. To find out more about a specific digital SLR camera or accessory, and to read the user reviews, click on the link.

Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Amazon Price: Too low to display
Customer Review: This camera is an excellent upgrade from the EOS 30D. The larger, 3-inch screen gives a better feel of your images in-camera. The new, highlight tone priority feature has saved blown-out highlights by nearly 1/3 stop (2/3 in some cases) which is great in high contrast situations. It can shoot in hig...

Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras
Amazon Price: $398.24
Customer Review: I realize this is expensive, but it gives you A LOT more options and power. It's also measurably more bulky than my 420EX flash, but it's worth rearranging my photo bag to accomodate it.

There's a few complaints about the menu-based selection of MASTER/SLAVE/Etc instead of the easier t...

Amazon Price: $628.72
Customer Review: Sold my D50 to upgrade to this D60. LOVE NIkon! Simple to use on auto, yet has all the controls if you want to use it in manual mode. Nikon lenses are truly superior to other top brands. I find that Canon point and shoot digital cameras are the best, whereas Nikon DSLR's are the best. Of course...

Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series and all EOS SLR ...
Amazon Price: $244.31
Customer Review: This flash makes great light. In my apartment we pretty much get nothing but nasty, dim, yellow light. The pictures I take with this flash make a world of difference. The thing rotates nearly 360 degrees, so you have the option to bounce it just about any kind of way you can imagine. Very flexible. ...

Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Amazon Price: $108.95
Customer Review: I must admit that I haven't got that much new to add to the discussion about this lens. It's just great. Fast, cheap, flexible, sharp. It's got it all.

I use it on a D200 and a F5, and it works as a charm on both. Focus is fast, silent and reliable.

In short: a very good le...

Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens
Amazon Price: $649.99
Customer Review: My goal was to find a lens offering a broad range of magnification and capable of producing excellent pictures. I was looking for the "complete package" for my Nikon D80 camera. A lens I could leave on the camera. I understood the lens would not produce a picture as "tack sharp" as a prime lens b...

Amazon Price: Too low to display
Customer Review: I was very happy with the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS. I have the Canon 75-300mm that came with the kit. But my pictures weren't crystal clear. I wanted an affordable lens that wasn't going to break the bank. This is definitely the lens for you if you are looking for a reasonable price IS le...
