However, things have changed, and photographers may now purchase DSLR cameras with "full-sized" sensors from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and others. It was not very long ago that all DSLR cameras came with sensors whose dimensions were smaller than a frame of 35mm film. "DX" and "FX" are Nikon's designations for the size of the cameras' sensors. "You should have gotten an FX (full-frame) camera," he told her. Why? Because the Nikon D5300 has a smaller than full-frame sensor, what Nikon calls its "DX," sensor. He told her that she had purchased the wrong camera. Within a few days of purchasing her new camera, a friend of hers, a "professional" photographer, did exactly what a friend/mentor/advisor encouraging a shy new photographer entering the DSLR world probably should not have done. Some immediately feel at home with the DSLR, and others never get past what can be an intimidating technological leap. The purchase was not without an amount of trepidation: confusing controls, buttons everywhere, multi-function interfaces, knobs, an interchangeable lens, and increased size.įor many customers, moving from your camera phone or compact point-and-shoot to a larger and more complex photographic tool is a big decision. A friend of mine recently took a step into a brave new world of digital SLR photography when she shelved her point-and-shoot camera and purchased a Nikon D5300 and kit lens.
