What happens when a person gets his first camera in his life?

Which one should you choose? It may help to answer this question rating of cameras by image quality in 2016, compiled according to user ratings and reviews on the Yandex.Market website.

For non-professionals and beginners, we have compiled.

The top cameras of 2016 open with the Nikon D800 Kit, a professional camera designed for artistic photography. Feature - due to the high resolution, you have to use a slower shutter speed to take a sharp photo.

9. Canon EOS 1D X Body – 350 thousand rubles

Full-size sensor, excellent resolution, high ISO, working autofocus - the camera is good for everyone, the only let down is its fairly heavy weight (with a telephoto lens - up to 4 kg).

8. Nikon D800 Body – 114 thousand rubles

Matrix with excellent detail reproduction, natural colors, soft penumbra. But autofocus does not always work as well as we would like. The camera presents high requirements to post-processing - you need to know what a RAW converter is and be able to use it confidently.

7. Nikon D810 Body – 177 thousand rubles

High image sharpness, good light sensitivity, quiet, almost silent shutter. But the camera is very noisy at 1000 ISO, and autofocus when shooting video leaves much to be desired - you will have to adjust it manually.

6. Nikon D600 Kit – 82 thousand rubles

Low noise level, high detail, 14-bit RAW with an excellent range - for a budget camera the device is perfectly balanced and does not suffer in any of the characteristics. The camera is quite difficult to learn and is hardly suitable for a beginner.

The downside is the unstable operation 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 is quite decent.
