Many people ask the same question over and over; what is the best digital SLR camera? The answer to this is, the camera that will work best for the types of photos you want to take. Someone who will be taking action shots will need a much different camera than someone who is taking family shots.

The first step in deciding what digital SLR camera is best for you is assessing what you want to photograph. Once you know what you want to photograph with the camera you will buy, you will find that it will be much easier. There are several types of photos one might use a camera for, and these are outlined below.

One place to start thinking in your upgrade process, is to ask yourself why you want to upgrade. Is it speed? In which case, the Canon 40D has a faster frame-per-second rating. 6 FPS for the 40D, while the 5D shoots at 3 FPS. How about image quality? The 5D comes with a pretty sweet full frame sensor. Full frame sensor cameras will result in better image quality, wide angle shots, and photographs more suited for cropping during the editing process.

Be sure to check the straps and hand grips that come with the case. You’ll want something substantial, with good stitching or riveting attachment points to the case proper. Having straps and grips is kind of nice as it gives you more options for moving your gear. Lugging your Canon through the airport with a few other bags, is a different experience, than just toting your Rebel to the beach for a few sunset photos. Having straps and hand holds that are detachable is an extra bonus.

Some people enjoy taking pictures of the outdoors and landscapes. This not the same as portrait photographers, even though neither are usually moving. Landscape photographers require much more advanced cameras generally as the nature holds much more detail than anything else compared to it.

Cheap synthetic materials may not look as nice a rich Corinthian leather bag, but they can be just as tough and durable as the expensive leather ones. Again they will appear less conspicuous, which can be a very good thing.

Many would argue that spending your money on great lenses and a good camera body is the best way to get value for your money. Pretty subjective of course, and really depends on how you like to take pictures.

Something that can really help me take better pictures. With that in mind, here’s a list of some nice cases I found. Should help you find what your looking for.
