The right DSLR camera is pivotal to your success as a photographer. Most times, photographers need to choose what camera to buy from a pool of factors, including lens, versatility, affordability, image stabilization, amongst other factors.
For every photographer, there is usually an ideal camera. For example, if you have the funds and don’t want to just take photography as a hobby but a profession, you may consider a camera with high versatility and performance. A 4K video capture DSLR camera will deliver a crispier image quality.
Today, we met with David Koonar, an outstanding and professional photographer from Canada, and he gave us his top 5 best DSLR digital cameras of 2021. Let’s have a look.

The Nikon D7500 is the birth child of value and luxury—well, the price tag that comes with it is pricey. If you can make a few financial sacrifices here and there—or maybe take out a bank loan, you will enjoy the 20.9MP sensor, 4k video recording, 180k pixel metering sensor, tilting screen, and a weather-resistant body that ensures that you can carry it virtually any weather.
Canon EOS 90D

The Canon EOS 90D has the highest pixel count amongst its class and the first model of the EOS DSLR to have a 32.5MP sensor. With a 4k crisp and un-cropped video recording, burst shoot of 10fps, and a 1,300-shot battery capable of running the camera even more than a mirrorless camera.
Canon EOS Rebel SL3 / EOS 250D
General Features
- Sensor: APS-C CMOS
- Autofocus: 45-POINT AF, 45 Cross-type
- Screen Size: 3.0 Inches
- Screen Type: 1,040,000 dots, Vari-angle touchscreen
- Movies: 4k
- Megapixels: 24.1 MP
- Maximum continuous shooting speed rate: 5fps
- Excellent for intermediate photographers
The Canon EOS Rebel SL3 is probably Canon’s best DSLR camera. With its lightweight feature, it allows for easier handling. Yet, even with its small size and weight, it possesses powerful features, including a dual pixel CMOS AF system.
The Rebel also has an extensive range of EF lenses—which is lacking in the mirrorless camera.
One con of the Rebel is the lack of a flip-out LCD screen. The flip-out LCD screen is functional for taking selfies and videos.
Canon EOS 6D Mark II
General Features
- Sensor: Full-frame
- Autofocus: 45-POINT AF, 45 Cross-type
- Screen Size: 3.0 Inches
- Screen Type: 1,040,000 dots ,articulating touchscreen
- Movies: 1080p
- Megapixels: 26.2 MP
- Maximum continuous shooting speed rate: 6.5fps
- Excellent for intermediate photographers
The Canon EOS 6D Mark II is a full-frame DSLR but lacks the 4k crisp video. Its chassis may feel a little bit plastic—and relatively not durable; however, it has a Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, making live videos look great.
The Canon EOS 6D camera offers more than the dual pixel CMOS AF system; it also provides a rear tap to focus touch screen, burst speed of 6.5fps, and 26.2 MP frame. It’s a great buy and quite affordable for beginners and intermediate photographers.
