Let's talk about DSLR prices this spring. Which camera is cheaper? What to buy for your vacation? Let us remind you that this article is based on the analysis average price over the past six months regarding the number of offers of certain models in the Yandex.Market service.
Sony
Among Sony SLT cameras, a sharp increase in recent months has been observed for the Sony Alpha SLT-A77 Kit model. However, judging by the Yandex.Market chart, this is more likely a leveling off of the average price after an incomprehensible drop in November.
Among all Sony SLT models, only the Sony Alpha SLT-A58 Kit has lost price in recent months. The drop was almost 20%, which is good for our wallet!
Nikon
If you are planning to buy a Nikon camera, then you better hurry up and not put it off until tomorrow. The price of such popular models as Nikon D3200 Kit, Nikon D3300 Kit, Nikon D5200 Kit, Nikon D5300 Kit and Nikon D5500 Kit shows a stable slight increase from month to month. The holiday season is just around the corner, and we believe that the price tags will continue to rise.
NIKON D5500 / Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G SETTINGS: ISO 450, F5.6, 1/4000 s, 82.0 mm equiv.
Models Nikon D7100 Kit, Nikon D7100 Body, Nikon D610 Body and Nikon D750 Body remain in the positive growth zone. They add 1,500–2,000 rubles every month.
The prices for the Nikon D7200 model in Kit and Body configurations have not changed. Professionals who are thinking about purchasing a second camera, as well as advanced amateurs, should consider purchasing this model in the near future.

Over the past 6 months, the Nikon D810 Body has risen in price significantly (by more than 30,000 rubles). A strong price increase is also observed for the Nikon D3100 Kit model.
We saw a stable price reduction only for the top professional model Nikon D4s Body. In six months, its price dropped by a total of 30,000 rubles, because after the release of Nikon D5, this camera lost its flagship crown in model range DSLR
Canon
The most interesting thing was to watch the price changes for Canon cameras. Let us remember that last year, when the crisis began, prices for Canon products increased significantly following the dollar exchange rate. This year, of course, the situation is completely different. Thus, for one of the most popular models, Canon EOS 1200D Kit, the price has increased slightly: by several thousand rubles in six months.
Prices for Canon EOS 600D Kit, Canon EOS 6D Body, Canon EOS 70D Body have increased slightly. The price of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Body model has fluctuated greatly. Until April average cost The price of this camera grew (the price peak was 174,000 rubles), but in March it fell by 13,000. But the same cannot be said about the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Kit. It's only getting more expensive.

The Canon EOS 700D Kit camera has not shown any growth, and now the price is also falling. The price for this model remained at the same level, but in March it fell. Affordable cameras Canon EOS 600D Body, Canon EOS 1100D Kit - peace of mind. If only others would follow their example! Over the entire observed period, their prices did not change. Yes, not the newest models. But this is an excellent anti-crisis solution. Worth taking!
Excellent autofocus allows you to use amateur Canon models EOS 750D and Canon EOS 760D for serious reportage shooting
Canon EOS 760D / Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS SETTINGS: ISO 200, F7.1, 1/1250 sec
Canon EOS 7D Mark II / Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM SETTINGS: ISO 200, F11, 1/13 sec
When we began work on this pricing review, we did not expect these results. We believed that due to the decline in consumer demand, the market would react accordingly and there would be more models with more attractive price tags. However, no one is in a hurry to offer low prices; there is stagnation, coupled with a sluggish increase in the cost of photographic equipment. By today's standards, a purchase at the same price that was relevant last year can be considered successful. Unfortunately, there is no time to dream of anything more yet.
Due to the unprecedented development of mobile cameras, the camera market is experiencing better times. A significant part of modern phones are equipped with good matrices that allow you to take high-resolution pictures. And the pictures, I must say, are getting better and better with new smartphones every year. In addition, it is quite difficult to take a selfie, which is fashionable today, with a regular camera. Or maybe this is for the best, because according to the latest data for 2015, selfies killed more people than from sharks.
But for those who like to photograph “the old fashioned way”, or want to really get high quality photo To understand the camera settings, you need a high-quality creative tool. It is for such people that we have compiled a list the best cameras in 2015-2016. The list will include both budget models and more expensive models. We did not consider professional premium models (with the exception of one interesting new product), because professionals will be able to choose a worthy model for themselves even without our rating.

This camera has a typical Panasonic appearance. It would seem like nothing new, but behind this trivial appearance lies an excellent photo monster! Its characteristics are the best in its price segment.
This model may be a response to the model from Sony - RX10, but the latter is somewhat inferior in its optical qualities.
Describe everything positive traits The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ1000 model does not make sense, because... there are a lot of them. Only one thing is important - according to reviews from the owners of this camera - it more than justifies its price, and its quality (it is made only in Japan) is beyond praise.
On a limited budget main way evaluate the quality of the camera, having several in front of you for comparison - try to take a picture without stabilization in a dark environment: you will immediately see how the noise of the matrices will differ, how convenient the camera is for long exposures. It is more difficult to compare the quality of lenses - distortions cannot be detected on screens, but when printing photos on a large format, they will immediately reveal themselves. And the larger the range of focal lengths, the greater the likelihood of image distortion in extreme focusing positions - this is an understandable price to pay for versatility.
If finances allow, the option with an interchangeable lens will be more interesting - you can buy a kit for the first time, or you can immediately choose a “carcass” and a lens for yourself. The only “but” is that there can be a lot of difficulties in finding a lens: most interchangeable optics It is made for popular mounts of full-size DSLRs; on compact mirrorless sizes, the mounting dimensions of the optics are different. However, some originals manage to cross modern digital cameras even with Soviet optics.
A capacious battery is good, a quick-change battery is even better, and one that can be charged without a proprietary adapter is even better. Alas, a signature disease of many digital cameras, and first of all - compact ones, there is a discrepancy between the appetites of electronics and battery capacity, so carrying several with you when using a camera frequently is a common thing. But changing the battery is not always convenient - sometimes the attached tripod prevents you from opening the battery compartment; such nuances should be checked immediately.
Mirror models are considered. Amateurs, professionals and reporters work with them. They allow you to achieve high quality materials. That's why the best DSLR cameras of 2016 included in the rating, where each position has its own justification.
