There are many digital single-lens reflex (commonly known as DLSR) cameras in the market today, but the trick is finding the most suitable one for your needs. In landscape photography, the more important considerations are image quality and control of exposure, as opposed to speed. Because unlike sports or wildlife photography, landscape photography is a slow, methodical process. Hereunder are some digital cameras for taking stunning photos of scenic vistas.

Pentax 645Z
For its plethora of features and high-end design, the 645Z is the camera of choice for the serious landscape photographer. Having one is like having a studio camera with you as you venture into the great outdoors. This camera features a weather-sealed design and relatively compact form factor for one that carries a huge 51.4-megapixel, 43.8 x 32.8mm CMOS.
Nikon D810
For a mid-range option, this offering by one of the industry leaders features Nikon’s highest resolution body, powered by an FX-format 36.3MP CMOS sensor for great sharpness and resolution. The D810 has very slow low native sensitivity value of ISO 64, which helps a lot to complement slower shutter speeds.

Sony Alpha a7R II
Finally, for a much cheaper alternative, here’s a non-DLSR, hybrid model (meaning mirrorless) that boasts of being one of the highest-resolution cameras available, with its full-frame 42.4MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor. We said DLSR options, and this is the recommended bang-for-your-buck if you don’t want to spend too much cash.
