Nowadays, SLRs are used by both the consumers and the professionals. Some uses them as a habit while others may make a living out of it. Getting a good camera may be hard and once a person has bought a camera of a certain brand, they might find it hard to change to another brand due to the incompatibility of the lens with different brands. Here are some SLRs worth noting:

In addition to that, its detachable LCD allows the picture taking of even the most gruesome of shot easily. There are two version of the D5000 and this is the Body Only Kit and a Kit with lens (18 – 55mm)

Midrange SLR

Nikon D90 – The D90 is truly a favorite amongst many Nikon owners. It offers quality photograph at a great price. In addition to that, it also offers a HDMI output and has a video capturing capability.

Canon 40D – The 40D is a considerable alternative to the 50D although it may cost as much as $200 higher than the latter. However, its picture quality is absolutely stunning and is great for capturing fast paced photographs

High-end SLR

Nikon D3 – This full-frame camera has only a 12 megapixel sensor but it beats most cameras of a higher resolution. It offers everything that a professional would want at a premium cost as well

Canon and Nikon are currently one of the top manufacturers in the market with a lot of lens available for the users to use as well. However, there are many other manufacturers worth considering although the user might have a problem getting some lenses that they may require.
