DSLR cameras are a must-have to capture precious memories this holiday season. While there are many camera options in the modern world, including smartphones that can produce decent images, DSLR cameras remain the industry standard.

Smartphones provide a variety of settings and filters. However, at the end of the day, their image quality falls way off the mark. This is because they trade image quality for device mobility. DSLR cameras, on the other hand, offer sharper and more in-depth frames that are just on another level.

With this in mind, here are five of the best DSLR cameras that one can buy this holiday season.
