Best high-end digital SLRs for pros and enthusiasts

The best digital SLR cameras from Canon, Nikon and Sony that are suitable for professionals and well-off enthusiasts

If you have aspirations of being a professional photographer, then you need to get yourself a professional camera. Professional cameras have a full frame sensor, powerful processors, a stack of manual controls and they excel in low-light situations when you use a high ISO setting. The brands to consider if you want a professional camera are Canon, Nikon and Sony. Here are five of the best that we've reviewed to date.

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III

Canon's flagship full-frame digital SLR camera will capture huge images with its 21.1-megapixel sensor, and it will do a stellar job in low-light conditions. It's a professional camera that will capture crystal-clear pictures when paired with the right lens, and it is a huge step up from the EOS 1Ds Mark II.
