With myriad options available, it becomes so confusing for a buyer to choose one. The scenario remains same if you hunt for a suitable digital camera. There are so many options, there are so many manufacturers who are bending over backwards to embrace their new productions with modern techniques, finer specifications and aesthetic upgrades.
Cameras are designed for a specific purpose like if you are an adventure junkie then a camera suiting your needs would be different from the person who wants to pursue professional photography. Each camera comes with different specifications and is amazing at what they offer or how brilliantly they have been designed for specific reasons.

#3 Nikon D500
The flagship Nikon D5 model has shed off some of its exciting high-end features but is still good enough to fight the competition. The full-frame sensor has been replaced by 20.9 MP sensor that obviously cannot equate the level of resolving power as the D7200 but embraces the best 153-point AF system, brilliant ISO performance that can hit a max of 1,640,000 at 10 frames per seconds. All inside a rugged, durable metal body making it a perfect fit for action and sports photographers.
Technical specifications:
- Type: DSLR
- Sensor: APS-C CMOS
- Resolution: 20.9MP
- Lens: Nikon F mount (DX)

#4 Nikon D3300
If you are looking to try your hands on your first DSLR then grab none other than D3300. Although it has a new variant D3400, we still recommend the former. The reason is simple- it is identical to the new D3400 except for the connectivity features. So, being a first time DSLR user spending those extra bucks on D3400 doesn’t make sense. Grab your copy of D3300 and you won’t be disappointed. It has a 24.2MP sensor that takes care of image detailing and sharpness. Plus, there is a Guide mode that enables you to learn about the features in real-time, as you shoot.
Technical specifications:
- Type: DSLR
- Sensor: APS-C CMOS
- Resolution: 24.2MP
- Lens: Nikon F mount (DX)
- Viewfinder: Optical
- Screen type: 3.0-inch screen, 921,000 dots
- Maximum continuous shooting speed: 5fps
- Movies: 1080p
- User level: Beginner

#5 Fujifilm X100F
Not for beginners but certainly a good match for experts who understands controls, love retro styling and like to manage things in manual mode. The X100F has traditional looks with a tinge of spice. It comes with a fixed focal length 35mm equivalent f/2.0 lens, 24.3 MP sensor, hybrid viewfinder and excellent image quality- though a bit heavy and a touch pricey. Surely, not everyone’s cup of tea but certainly a good fit for photography enthusiasts.
Technical specifications:
- Type: High-end compact
- Sensor: APS-C CMOS
- Resolution: 24.3MP
- Lens: 23mm f/2
- Screen type: 3-inch, 1,040,000 dots
