Landscape photography is one of the better and more inspiring disciplines in photography. It involves taking static photos of land and sea forms such as majestic mountain ranges, open plains, dry and dusty deserts, and oceans as far as the eye can see.
Although this discipline in photography is easy to do thanks to the subjects being inanimate objects, taking the perfect shot can still be a difficult hurdle to overcome due to various factors, such as exposure, dust, water, and intermittent lighting from the sun.
Here are some of the best DSLR cameras that are guaranteed to give you the advantage needed to get the perfect shot.
Nikon D3500
DSLR cameras are ideal for hobbyists and professional photographers for a reason: you can tinker with the camera's many settings to match the kind of shot you need. Being able to use various lenses is also a big deal.
But DSLR cameras can be a resource drain due to their price being a huge investment. As such, having an affordable DSLR camera like the Nikon D3500 can be a life saver.
The camera is one of the lighter DSLR cameras Nikon has in its arsenal, per Digital Camera World. It also has a 24.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor at its heart and a bundled 18-55mm kit lens for wide-angle shots, making it a great camera for beginner photographers and those who want a DSLR camera with a tight budget.
However, keep in mind that the camera doesn't have an adjustable rear screen and that it cannot record 4K video.
Sony A7R IV
The Sony A7R IV is a jack of all trades, according to Tech Radar. Its 61-megapixel sensor makes the a7R IV a good choice for landscape photographers as it allows the camera to take detailed images with good exposure, low noise, and pleasing colors.
The camera also comes with a 16-35mm f/4 and a 16-35 mm f/2.8 lens, giving you a lot of options for wide-angle shots, which are perfect for keeping every detail inside the image when taking landscape photos.
Like the Nikon D3500, the A7R IV's rear LCD screen is fully articulate and can't be adjusted, which makes taking photos from difficult angles a challenge.
Canon EOS R
Canon's EOS R camera is another affordable DSLR camera with an impressive 30.3-megapixel sensor and, unlike the first two cameras on our list, a fully articulated and adjustable LCD screen.

The camera is advanced in its years in terms of camera lifetimes, with the camera being on the market for over three years. While a successor is on the way, the camera can still hold its own, especially when you consider that its performance is comparable to most up-to-date cameras.
However, it has no single SD card slot and no in-body image stabilization. As such, you might want to have a tripod or good editing skills to take pictures while moving.
Fujifilm X-T4
Fujifilm's X-T4 camera is its flagship crop-sensor mirrorless camera. It has excellent battery life to the point that it can last a day even when you take 500 photos during that time, per RTings.com.
The camera also has a 26.1-megapixel APS-C Trans BSI CMOS which provides smooth tonal rendering, improved low-light performance, and a wide native sensitivity range of ISO 160-12800, per B&H Photo Video Audio. These specifications make the camera perfect for landscapes where only a small amount of light is available.
However, its dedicated exposure dials may need some time to get used to, especially for those familiar with the PASM control layout.
Olympus OM-1
Last but not least is the Olympus OM-1. The camera is ideal for photographers who want to have a portable DSLR camera while still enjoying professional features and functionality.
Olympus did sacrifice a bit when it comes to specifications to make the camera lighter, though. The camera only has a 20.4-megapixel resolution and doesn't have high ISO at full-frame levels. However, you can install MFT lenses on the camera, which provides you with enough flexibility to explore a wide range of possibilities.
The camera is certified for dust and moisture resistance, which is a plus if you're looking to take pictures of deserts and rivers with strong currents.
