Some of the characteristics and uniqueness of digital cameras that you can make reference are as mentioned below:
1.

the design of the camera, lens and philosophy. Many Leica products are still
made by hand in Germany. Due to the quality of materials and work by hand by
experts, the price is also much higher than DSLR cameras. Leica as traditional
rich people, who love driving luxury cars for example vintage Rolls Royce and

Canon - Canon brand which emphasizes on ease
of use. Design of the Canon menu interface is simpler than the others. Canon is
also concerned with the design of the camera and lens. Camera and lens design
many color and shape options. With designs and colors that stand out, it felt
cool and professional. Canon if people like the slang.
3.
Nikon - the camera is a brand that has long
fluttering. Nikon F mounts system of its history from 1935. Nikon is quite
conservative in design DSLR camera. From model to model, shape, location of
buttons and menus are something like. Lenses made decades ago can still be used
in modern DSLR cameras (of course there are drawbacks, such as cannot auto
focus / metering). Menu Nikon camera models even though a lot of beginners.
People usually like Nikon technique. Nikon like the geek (the people who have
in-depth knowledge about a thing and usually so deep to the point where normal
people do not care.)
4.
Fujifilm - Fuji is one brand that has long flown
from the film to the digital era. In the digital era, Fuji somewhat is behind
than other brand. But in recent years, Fuji began to introduce camera that
looks like a film camera but in earlier times the content with digital technology.
Fujifilm is the old but the young spirit.

Panasonic - Panasonic camera design concerned
with the efficiency, speed and practical than it looks cool / pretty. The
design is minimalist and somewhat rigid form. Panasonic's like a manager who is
busy but can get the job done efficiently.
6.
Pentax - Pentax is essentially conservative
and focused brand DSLR camera design that has a durable casing and bad weather.
Many Pentax lenses are unique like pancake lens. It is so called because it is
made of metal and very thin. Pentax was no death adventurer like Indiana Jones.
7.
Sony - As a manufacturer of cameras and
lenses, Sony is relatively new (history began when it acquired Konica-Minolta),
Sony is an innovative company and continues to design and shape features of the
new camera in a short amount of time. Sony DSLR design leave it deems outdated
and develop SLT and Sony NEX system. Sony is like a young kid who is always up
to date on the technology (not clueless).

have a rather traditional design (such as a film camera) but it (the
technology) is modern and up-to-date. Relatively light weight and small size

character and uniqueness of each in use and focuses them in selecting the
objects to be retrieved. You can only have two brands of cameras at once that
you can use to suit the particular needs of activities you will do.
