Best Digital Cameras - 28 to 43 mm Image Sensor Size, Atleast 500 images, Under $1500

'A clear Dave's Pick, the Nikon D7200 is the company's best effort yet in the enthusiast DSLR market.'

'great camera'

'Overall the Nikon D7200 is an impressive enthusiast DSLR.'

'The D7000 line has always been a solid DSLR, Nikon's 2015 enthusiast camera takes the fully featured D7100 and enhances the sensor even more, for images with rich, yet true-to-life colors and excellent noise reduction. '

'extremely capable camera'

'It's not only one of the most full-featured cameras around, but also one of the best APS-C cameras in terms of image quality, hitting the sweet-spot of high-resolution stills with great low-light performance and 4K video recording. '

'The Samsung NX1 is an excellent camera and one that has successfully grabbed the attention of enthusiast photographers. '

'Offering some of the best image quality ever seen from an APS-C camera, alongside performance that absolutely shames much of the competition, the Samsung NX1 sets a new standard for CSCs and DSLRs alike. '

'The built-in pop-up flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and adequate overall exposure. '

' The 12.4 effective megapixel K-r is Pentax’s follow-up digital SLR to the entry level K-x, a sound, good value starter option. '

'The Pentax K-r is one of the few worthy intruders, flaunting several improvements over its next in command, the Pentax K-x.'

'exceptionally fast performance'

'If Pentax can step up its efforts to make itself visible in the industry, the K-r is a competitive model in the entry-level dSLR category.'
