Which is the best DSLR under 40000 in India? We’ve put together the best DSLR cameras in the range of Rs 35,000-Rs 40,000 in India for this month, including mirrorless cameras, that offer changeable lenses. As you would know, a lens makes as much impact to the quality of a photograph as the camera behind it. As such, some of these cameras are cheaper models bundled with additional lens for a discounted price and worth checking out, since buying lenses separately would be much more expensive.
So here goes the list of the best DSLR cameras under Rs 35,000 – Rs 40,000 in India. Also, check the best DSLR cameras under Rs 25,000, the best DSLR cameras under Rs 30,000 and the best DSLR cameras under Rs 50,000.

Summary
There’s just too much confusion around mirrorless cameras. No, they don’t shoot inferior photos compared to DSLR since they use the same sensors. Yes, they have interchangeable lenses. What they don’t have is a live viewfinder, which to be honest is a fair trade-off for the compactness. Their autofocus is also usually better. This particular model comes with 60fps recording, 6fps continuous shooting mode, and WiFi & NFC. The only thing that doesn’t hold well compared to a DSLR is the weaker battery.

Nikon D3500
Summary
The most recent offering from Nikon. We particularly like the D3500 for its features such as 5fps burst shooting, respectable battery, 60fps video recording, and WiFi connectivity. The large ISO range can also be useful for night shots. However, the specs seem almost identical to the D3400. We’re not sure what exactly changed.

Nikon D3300
Summary
This one is an ancient model but still not outdated. Some of the features that stand out include 5fps continuous shooting, 24MP sensor, and a large battery. But get the D3400, honestly. It’s a better camera for the same price. We like the lens combo too much.

Canon EOS 1500D

Lens combo: 18-55mm
Summary
One of the more recent offerings from Canon, but entry-level nonetheless. The 1500D gets you a larger sensor (in megapixel count) over the 1500D. Then, there’s also NFC and WiFI which is great. What disappoints are the AF points, 3fps burst shooting mode, and limited ISO range. The lends combo, although, is pretty good.

Summary
Pretty much all the things said for the 3000D can be said here except for a much better display on this one and the inclusion of NFC. So, yes, better than the 3000D. Also, the dual lenses should keep you covered end to end for your daily photography needs.
