Amazon’s top Digital SLR Cameras, Lenses & Books

by Susheel Chandradhas

Amazon.com is one of the internet’s most popular stores. Their comprehensive collection of just about anything you could want coupled with a great website, and their algorithm based display of items that you could be interested in make it a wonderful place to shop online, and a place to discover things you never knew existed (well … maybe).

Here’s their list of “Most Wished for” Digital SLR Cameras, Lenses & Photography Books based on their user’s “wish lists”. If everybody wants them, maybe you’d be interested too. Here, take a look:

There are some quite interesting trends in these lists. Take a look at the full list by clicking the more button to see ‘em. Do visit the comments here, if you’d like to leave an opinion.

What do you think the best DSLR camera is? Just cause Amazon users want it doesn’t mean the best.Do you think DSLR cameras are worth the price? This site lists some info http://www.cheapdigitalslrcamera.com but looking for other opinions. Thoughts? Thanks

John,

There are many opinions out there about which the best dSLR could be. In my way of thinking, however, there is no such thing. There is only
a) What you need, and
b) What you can afford

I believe that this list is a combination of both these factors, along with a dash of ‘aspiration’. To me, it is a list of cameras that people want to own, and if they have the money, will.

I hope that this is a guiding principle for some, when they decide to buy their cameras, and not ‘Megapixels’.
