In terms reviewing some of the technical specs and how digital cams work, a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) is a camera that has mirrors which send light from the camera lens to the viewfinder (hole through which you look into the camera to observe a certain object you will take a photo or video of). It has several parts: one lens, shutter, reflexive mirror, sensor of images, focusing screen that is matted, lens for condensing viewfinder. All of these elements combine to enable you to capture the image as you see it clearly and accurately, and most importantly, have less of a process when it comes to actually capturing the image, which is what helps it become so clear.

The Nikon D3400 has plenty going for it, with a beautifully compact body, a decent AF system, huge battery life and reliable image quality. What's more, it's incredibly easy to use for the first time user, while the price drop has made it one of our top entry-level DSLR picks.

Canon EOS Rebel T7i / EOS 800D review
The new sensor impresses, as does the 45-point autofocus system backed up by excellent live view AF, while the newly designed graphical interface will certainly make this camera even more appealing to new users. The absence of 4K video and the quality of the exterior materials disappoint, but this aside, if you're looking for a well-rounded and easy to use camera for your first DSLR the EOS Rebel T7i / EOS 800D is certainly worth a look.
User-friendly interface
Excellent touch screen control
Live View AF performance
Impressive overall image quality
