Best Full Frame DSLR for the Year 2017
Best DSLR Cameras 2017
Full-frame cameras are the best of the best — they have the largest sensors, the most megapixels, and lenses that are unmatched by any other class of camera. Despite the large size, they are the choice of almost all top professional photographers. In addition to DSLRs, which have long dominated the full-frame market, Sony offers the Alpha a7 series of full-frame mirrorless cameras that are considerably lighter and more compact, and Leica recently followed suit with its new SL. Below are our picks for the best full-frame cameras of 2017, from top sellers to specialty models that offer ultra-fast frame rates and 4K video functionality.

01 Nikon D810:
The D810 is Nikon’s leading full-frame camera and the whole package in terms of image quality and features. Compared to the popular D800, you get the same powerful 36.3-megapixel full-frame image sensor, but new to the camera is a lack of an antialiasing filter for better sharpness, a faster EXPEED 4 image processor, faster shooting at 5 frames-per-second, a longer battery life, and an improved grip. The D800 was excellent in its own right, but the D810 is a worthy upgrade that quickly became a favorite among professionals and enthusiasts.
This camera was released in 2014 and it will be very interesting to see how Nikon responds to the increasingly crowded competition at the upper end of the full-frame market. Canon stepped to the plate in a big way with the release of the 50.6-megapixel 5DS R above, and Sony’s a7 series of mirrorless cameras have been exerting pressure on full-frame DSLRs for years. Rumors are that Nikon is working on a full-frame mirrorless camera of its own, possibly using Samsung’s technology from the NX1. Regardless, we do expect a new or updated full-frame camera from Nikon in 2017.

02 Canon EOS 5D Mark IV:
For years, Canon’s 5D series trailed the Nikon D810 in resolution, but the gap has closed significantly with the release of the new 5D Mark IV. Most notable is the jump in resolution to 30.4 megapixels from 22.3 on the Mark III (the D810 still is higher at 36.3). You also get 4K video (the D810 does not shoot 4K), a fast burst rate at 7 fps, and built-in Wi-Fi, among other features. All in all, this is a top-tier DSLR that can go head-to-head with anything on the market.
There are a few reasons why the 5D Mark IV is ranked number three on this list and not higher. The first is value: the camera is a rather steep Rs. 3,10,975, while the Nikon D810 is a full Rs1,00,000 less at Rs 2,18000. And the 4K capability is nice, but like we’ve seen from hybrid cameras like the Sony a7R II, extended shoots can cause issues with overheating and storage and the 4K technology still has a ways to go. Still shooters should seriously consider the Canon EOS 6D below, but the 5D Mark IV is nearly the whole package in a full-frame DSLR.

03 Sony Alpha A7RM2
The new α7R II is truly a game changer. Taking outstanding, high-quality images have never been easier with the world’s first back-illuminated 35mm full-frame CMOS image sensor, allowing the camera to deliver sharp and clear shots. Boasting a stunning resolution of 42.4-megapixel, prepare to watch your images come to life with powerful dynamism. Thanks to an advanced image sensor and AF algorithm, objects will always be extremely sharp when you take pictures. The α7R II’s fast hybrid AF system delivers superior AF coverage, speed and tracking performance for well defined focus within the entire frame.
The α7R II’s 5-axis image stabilisation is fine-tuned to match the 42.4-megapixel performance, so whether you’re snapping faraway objects or capturing low-light scenes, you will still enjoy full-frame glory with minimal blurriness at all times. With high sensitivity up to ISO 102400, you can feel assured even when working in low light conditions. Noise is minimised to reveal finer details in all your images. Higher-resolution 4K movie recording, optimised for recording 4K (QFHD: 3840x2160) movies, particularly in super 35mm format, the α7R II processes readout data from every pixel without pixel binning. The result? Visibly sharp, finer and more subtle detail than typical 4K movies. It’s high resolution, but even better than before. Thanks to a viewfinder magnification of 0.78x, the α7R II stands as a market leader among digital still cameras. The XGA OLED Tru-Finder provides views of cutting-edge definition, contrast and depth throughout the entire display. ZEISS T coating ensures absolutely minimal reflection on the viewfinder, so the α7R II’s extraordinary 42.4-megapixel performance is apparent at all times

04 Canon EOS 6D Mark II
Posed as the lightest DSLR in the EOS full-frame DSLR line-up, the EOS 6D Mark II, a powerful yet compact full-frame DSLR camera promises to propel your images to the next level. Its 26.2-megapixel image sensor, dual pixel CMOS AF and a vari-angle touch panel LCD monitor empowers you with the ability to take stunning images and videos, with fast, touchscreen-operable AF and from different angles. Movie digital IS, a 5-axis image stabilization system, is built within the camera for suppressing camera shake when shooting handheld movies — a useful feature especially when recording in quality as high as full HD 60p/50p.

05 Pentax K-1
The most interesting full-frame release from last year does not belong to Canon or Nikon. Instead, Ricoh-owned Pentax turned some serious heads with a long awaited full-frame DSLR: the K-1. Pentax has long been known for its weather-sealed APS-C cameras, which are strong on paper and competitively priced, and the trend continues with the K-1. This DSLR has 36.2 megapixels of resolution (just a hair shy of the Nikon D810), built-in image stabilization, and a super sturdy aluminum alloy body that is sealed as well as any model on this list.
The biggest concern when choosing the K-1 over the bigger brands is lenses. Pentax K mount (or FA) lenses are flat out limited. The classic 24–70mm f/2.8 is available in a K mount, although that lens and a couple others are essentially rebranded Tamron lenses (that can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it). And video quality on the K-1 isn’t up to the standards of other new full-frame cameras with 1080 60i and without 4K. But for still photographers looking for a great value, we love the K-1.

07 Nikon D5
The Nikon D5 is a monster of a full-frame DSLR. With blazing speed, it’s one of the cameras you’ll see behind the basket at the NBA Finals and on the sideline of the Super Bowl. However, the D5 weighs in at over 3 pounds — all other cameras on this list aside from the Canon 1D X II above are at least a full pound less. Redeeming features are the fast burst rate of up to 12 fps and impressive ISO range that goes from 100–102,400. If you shoot action or sports, this is the premier Nikon DSLR on the market and worth the investment (especially if your employer is paying). For most other photographers, the weight and cost make full-frame cameras like the D810 or D750 more viable options.
