Top 20 DSLR Models – Reader Favorites

Top-DslrsYesterday I presented the Top 10 Point and Shoot Digital Cameras as used by DPS readers and today I want to move on to presenting the top DSLRs.

Because so many DPS readers nominated DSLRs I thought I’d present the Top 20 DSLR models mentioned rather than a Top 10. I’ll also present a breakdown of the brands owned below the list of actual cameras. I’ve also included the dates these cameras were announced to give an idea of how old the models are:

Cameras are listed from most popular to least popular (and I’ve given an indication of what percentage of recipients own the top 7):

  1. Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D) – an 8 megapixel DSLR first announced back in February 2005 – this DSLR made up 17% of the total
  2. Canon Digital Rebel XTi (400D) – (pictured) a 10.1 megapixel update of the XT, August 2006 – this DSLR had 12% of the total
  3. Nikon D80 – a 10.2 megapixel DSLR – announced in August 2006 – 10% of those participating
  4. Nikon D50 – 6.1 megapixels, announced in April 2005 – 8% of the total
  5. Nikon D40– 6.1 megapixel DSLR announced in November 2006 – 6%
  6. Nikon D200 – 10.2 megapixels and announced in November 2005 – 6%
  7. Sony Alpha A100 – another 10.2 megapixel DSLR announced in June 2006 – 6%
