I find it interesting from time to time to take a look on the bestellers on Amazon to see what the most popular dslr cameras are. It always seemed to me in the past that Nikon used to top these lists but it seems things are changing.
I’ve definitely noticed over the last few months that Canon seem to be topping the list. They have made quite a few additions to their range of DSLRs over the last few months and this seems to be paying dividends for them. Here is the breakdown of the top 5 DSLR cameras:
1. Canon EOS Rebel T2i
2. Canon EOS Rebel T1i
3. Nikon D5000
4. Nikon D3000
5. Nikon D90
We’d be keen to hear you thoughts on this list. Olympus, Pentax and Sony are really catching up the big two by producing some really great cameras for reasonable prices. Do you think they’ll break in to the top five anytime soon?
Reader Poll Results
We”ve been running a poll on the site for a few weeks now to see what brand of cameras our readers use. Here are the results:
1st Canon (41%)
2nd Nikon (39%)
3rd Olympus (7%)
4th Pentax (6%)
5th Sony (4%)
6th Other (3%)
Well, if our readers are anything to go by then the top selling DSLRs are Canon, closely followed by Nikon which seems to back up the Amazon lists. We’ll keep our survey running to see how this changes over time.

I guess it’s not a huge surprise that consumer cameras come out top on Amazon – partly because pros buy from more specialist outlets as well as the numbers of units involved. As a Canon user, though, I’m happy to see these two at the top!
