dslr camera entry level image
John L
I am currently looking for a entry-level dslr camera for a cheap price at a second hand store. Does anyone know what camera and lens would be great for beginners and outdoor photography?
Answer
When it comes to used cameras, condition can be as important as the original quality of the camera.
So use the same conditions you would use to buy a new camera (brand and model) but then add condition to the mix.
If you have no ability to discern condition, you might end up making a very expensive mistake. DSLRs especially - with a lens can be a very complex instrument - and if you are not an experienced user, you won't likely know what works and what doesn't. If you spend $300 and get a camera that is broken - you wasted $300 to save $300.
I would never recommend buying used for your first DSLR, unless someone goes with you that knows DSLRs and can check it out for you.
At least make sure the store has a return policy (in writing) so you can return the camera if you find out it is a dud.
I don't know what difference Tokyo makes - my advice applies world-wide; especially if you are in a land-of-crooks (some camera stores in Brooklyn, USA for instance).

Need help with a good beginner dslr camera?

I own a canon point and shoot and I would like to get a dslr that can produce better quality. What are some good entry-level dslr cameras? What about lenses? Any information or tips for a beginner?
Answer
Stick with Canon. They produce excellent quality cameras. And you are familiar working with them.
Look into the:
- Canon XS
- Canon XSi
- Canon T1i
- Canon 7D
Depending on your budget...
The 1st two are entry - intermed. level offerings. The next two are more intermediate (as is the Canon 50D).
