Popular Digital Cameras and Gear

It is that time of the year when we take a look at what DSLRs, Lenses and Digital Camera Accessories have been popular with our readers over the last few months. The following is a compilation of the most purchased gear on Amazon – by our community.

Popular DSLRs

As usual over the last quarter we see Canon and Nikon battling it out in this category with sales between the two brands almost equally split between the two. As usual we see entry level DSLRs at the top of the list with the more serious (and expensive) cameras lower down.

Popular Canon DSLR Lenses

As usual the f1.8 50mm lens wins in the Canon range – a huge seller (see notes before). It’s a great quality lens and considering its price and how fast it is – it is almost a no brainer to have one in your camera bag.

Popular Nikon DSLR Lenses

As with Canon – the 50mm lens is king here – doubling the sales of its nearest rival in the Nikon range – again its to do with quality of the lens and the value for money!

Other Brands of Popular DSLR Lenses

Many of these lenses from third party suppliers like Signma and Tamron can be used on different brands of cameras (just make sure you’re buying one with the appropriate mount for your DSLR.

Popular Mirrorless Cameras

Mirrorless/Compact System cameras have been a fast growing segment of the camera market over the last few years and more and more of our readers are joining the large numbers of people attracted by these smaller format but high quality cameras.

Here’s what’s currently hot among our readers in this class.
