From entry-level to mid-range
For friends who are learning photography for the first time, the introduction of SLR operation is relatively simple and easy to use, which can help us get familiar with some basic shooting operations quickly. The mid-range SLR is more professional, and its function and control have been improved. This paper has prepared a detailed summary of the entry-level SLR and intermediate SLR that you are currently concerned about, hoping to help you with your purchase.
Canon 650D, the first touch-screen SLR
The first impression of SLR cameras is mostly high-quality professional control, but ordinary consumers who are not familiar with SLR say it is difficult to get started at first contact. However, the emergence of Canon 650D changed this situation. With high quality and professionalism, capacitive touch screen is introduced into SLR products for the first time. Make it easier and more convenient to take and play back photos.
EOS 650D is equipped with a newly developed CMOS image sensor, with an effective pixel of about18 million, and the pixels are reasonably arranged in an effective space of about 22.3×14.9 mm. The EOS series is equipped with a hybrid CMOS AF for the first time, and some pixels located in the central area of the image sensor are used for phase difference detection autofocus. After the focus position is quickly detected, contrast detection autofocus is carried out to complete accurate focusing, which is faster and smoother in real-time display shooting and short film shooting.
EOS 650D is about 65,438+0,040,000 points. The 3.0-inch rotatable LCD screen combines common capacitive touch technologies such as smart phones, and can operate multiple functions by simply touching the screen with your fingers. You can change the focus by touching your finger, or you can use the function of touching the shutter to complete the whole shooting process from focusing to releasing the shutter by touching the screen. A variety of shooting modes can be realized by using rich autofocus mode characteristics.
In the real-time display mode, you can switch four focusing modes at will: face+tracking, free moving multi-point, free moving 1 point, and fast mode, among which the mixed CMOS AF plays a role in the effective area near the center of the screen in the first three focusing modes. The touchpad can be used not only for shooting, but also for various operations such as playback and setting. Touching the picture of the playback image can quickly select and enlarge the image, and it is convenient to confirm the focus position. Touching the icon in the speed control screen can directly set and change the corresponding functions.
EOS 650D is the first 3-digit model in EOS digital SLR camera series equipped with full cross autofocus sensor. Nine autofocus Canon EOS 650D fuselage unfolded display points, equipped with a cross-shaped autofocus sensor corresponding to the F5.6 beam, can stably focus, regardless of the shape of the subject and the shooting position. The corresponding F2.8 beam cross autofocus sensor can also play an effective role with a large aperture lens, and is also set at the central focal angle of high frequency. The double cross autofocus corresponding to F2.8 and F5.6 beams improves the focusing accuracy.

Although it uses the same18 megapixels as the 600D, we are very satisfied with the performance upgrade of the Canon 650D. The great leap forward of focusing system, the latest DIGIC5 image processor, five continuous shooting images exceeding the average standard, and the capacitive touch screen used for the first time have all made us experience changes in practical use.

D3200 also inherited Nikon's "slimming" feature this year. Like D800 and D4, the iconic red scarf design on the handle was changed to a small red line. This "slimming" also makes the D3200 highlight the simple style. However, many users have always believed that the new generation of Nikon SLR cameras has been out of the tough shape. Viewpoint:
From the overall material, shape and key layout of Nikon D3200, it shows that it is an entry-level product, and there is no need to criticize its plastic shell as plastic slippers.
