While mirrorless cameras have been doing the rounds lately, a large portion of the world still prefers DSLRs. What's more is that if you're an aspiring photographer, a DSLR is a much better method of embarking on your photographic journey.

Picture quality; Good value; Beginner friendly

I am really enjoying using the new camera - it is so easy to use and takes great shots. Harvey Norman had the best price.
