DSLR and mirrorless cameras under Tk 1 lac: Our top picks
We are always keen on keeping a memory. Be it of our favourite moments, or something that we want to look back and relive. A camera is now an essential part of our daily life. That itch to get a perfect shot is something that the ordinary phone camera cannot meet. For those who are serious about photography, a Digital Single-Lens Reflex, DSLR, or mirrorless camera, is the way to go. Mirrorless cameras do not have a reflex mirror inside the body. These use a digital viewfinder to show the image as it passes directly into the sensor. Moreover, mirrorless cameras are nothing less than a DSLR.
Here are our top 5 DSLR cameras within Tk. 100,000 to kick start the hobby.
