DSLRs can cost anything from £300 to over £2,000. So what’s the difference?

Well, the main contrast is the size of the sensor inside the camera. These control how much light is used to create the image.

In simple terms, the bigger the sensor, the higher the quality of the image is.

Amateur models have APS-C sensors, which are great if you are just starting out. They’re a lot better than those on a compact camera.

Professional cameras use full-frame sensors. This means you can get the image you want without the camera cropping the edges.

It also works better in low light conditions and increases the depth of field for sharper shots.
