Yes, people still buy DSLR cameras in 2023 (I recently sold my Sony A99 II but still keeping my first DSLR, the Konica Minolta 5D for sentimental reasons) and I can't blame them. Canon, Nikon and Pentax DSLR users still have access (and will have in the future too) to some of the best selection of new and used lenses that are available for incredibly cheap prices!
If I had to choose one of these five cameras though, I would pick the Canon EOS 90D without any hesitation. With its 33MP APS-C sensor, and advanced features, this camera can compete with many current mirrorless cameras even 4 years after its first launch!
Here are the Top 5 Best Selling DSLR Cameras among our readers:
