What happens when a person gets his first camera in his life? At first, even the red eyes of friends and relatives in the photo can cause affection, but as experience grows, so does the demand. I would like to expand the range of photographs, not confining myself only to subjects a la "I am against the backdrop of the Bolshoi Theater." An appropriate camera is also needed for such requests. Which one to choose? It might help to answer this question rating of cameras by image quality in 2016, compiled according to the assessment and feedback of users on the site "Yandex.Market".
For amateurs and beginners, we have compiled rating of SLR cameras for amateurs.
10. Nikon D800 Kit - 134 thousand rubles
The Nikon D800 Kit, a professional camera designed for artistic photography, opens the top cameras in 2016. Feature - due to the high resolution for a sharp picture, you have to use a slower shutter speed.
9. Canon EOS 1D X Body - 350 thousand rubles
A full-size matrix, excellent resolution, high ISO, working autofocus - the camera is good for everyone, only a rather heavy weight let down (with a telephoto lens - up to 4 kg).
8. Nikon D800 Body - 114 thousand rubles
Matrix with excellent reproduction of details, natural colors, soft penumbra. But autofocus doesn't always work as well as we would like. The camera makes high demands on post-processing - you need to know what a RAW converter is and be able to use it with confidence.
7. Nikon D810 Body - 177 thousand rubles
High image sharpness, good light sensitivity, quiet, virtually silent shutter. But the camera makes a lot of noise from 1000 ISO, and the autofocus when shooting video leaves much to be desired - you have to adjust it by hand.
6. Nikon D600 Kit - 82 thousand rubles
Low noise, high detail, 14-bit RAW with excellent range - for a budget camera, the device is perfectly balanced and does not sag in any of the characteristics. The camera is difficult enough to learn and hardly suitable for a beginner.
5. Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body - 84 thousand rubles
The second and last Canon camera in the ranking of the best cameras in 2016. Good matrix, high resolution, but working ISO only up to 1600 (then noise starts). Indoors, white balance works mediocre and makes the picture yellowish. Autofocus is good, tenacious, but not very fast. An excellent camera for those who do not need reportage shooting.
4. Nikon D4 Body - about 290 thousand rubles
Light weight, tenacious grip and good balance when using additional lenses will facilitate long-term work with the camera. Excellent high ISO. The white balance is excellent. The downside is the difficulty of switching between tracked and static objects.
3. Nikon D4s Body - 320 thousand rubles
This camera especially stands out when shooting conditions are difficult - multiple light sources or low light. Excellent autofocus, traditional for Nikonov, excellent resolution and exposure compensation, no color distortion. Minus - the camera is professional and does not forgive beginners for mistakes. Although a beginner is unlikely to dare to shell out such an amount for the camera.
2. Nikon D750 Body - 116 thousand rubles
The rating of cameras in 2016 has been replenished with another product from Nikon - Nikon D750 Body.An excellent matrix, at a resolution of 3200, shoots practically without noise, with an excellent clear picture. An important detail is the folding screen. When you switch from video mode to photo mode, the camera remembers the video settings separately, and you do not need to set them again every time. The downside is the unstable work of the built-in wi-fi.
1. Nikon Df Body - 150 thousand rubles
The best camera according to user reviews. This product of Japanese craftsmen has an excellent matrix, ISO 3200 works great, and 6400 works pretty well. Autofocus is fast and reliable, good color reproduction, excellent dynamic range. Lovers of mechanics will appreciate the dual control - mechanical and electronic. An important plus - almost any Nikon lenses are compatible with Nikon Df Body - from old to modern. It is also one of the smallest and lightest full-frame cameras. The device that topped the best cameras of 2016 is intended solely for photography - it does not have a video camera.
