Serious hobbyists and professionals have long favored these cameras, which feature a reflexing mirror ( “DSLR” stands for “digital single-lens reflex”) that reflects the image of what you’re pointing at directly into the optical viewfinder. High-end professional-grade cameras run well north of $2,000 - or much more once you consider the different lenses and accessories that are available).

Entry-level models can be had for around $300 or even less if you buy refurbished units. Modern DSLR cameras have perhaps the widest range of features, capabilities, and - naturally - price points.

Professionals and hobbyists alike still use full-size mirrorless and DSLR cameras, and they’ve only gotten better in recent years thanks to new technologies like Full HD and 4K video recording capabilities and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity now standard even on entry-level models. Smartphone cameras are shockingly good, but they still don’t measure up to proper digital cameras.
