An extraordinarily high resolution of 24 megapixels makes the Nikon D3200 the entry-level DSLR to beat. Experts say it captures as much detail as some pro-quality cameras. The D3200 is particularly easy for beginners to master, and still delivers a few high-end specs that you won’t find even on some pricier models.

The Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is the smallest and lightest DSLR camera anywhere, and without sacrificing quality or features. Its preset creative functions make it easy for beginners to use, yet it also offers advanced manual and semi-auto features for those who like more control over their cameras.

One of the most complete DSLR cameras, the Nikon D7100 balances everything: superb ergonomics, an outstanding autofocus system, great image quality for its class and ease of use. Its 24 megapixels provide clean and sharp images even at the upper ISO sensitivities.
