The question I’m being asked on a daily basis at the moment is – ‘what camera should I buy?’ Obviously cameras are on many people’s wishlists this Christmas! Note : The following DSLRs are the most popular with our readers in their purchases over the last month. We’re listing them in the order of popularity in terms of sales and in the configuration (ie with or without lenses bundled) that they’re selling in best. 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.
