Opinions and deals on DSLR cameras?




randomchic


I am in need of a new camera for a a digital photography class no more than $500. I plan so save up and buy a better camera in the future.

I need a dslr camera that that I can change the Shutter, Aperature and ISO on.

What are your opinions on what camera to get?

What are your opinions on where to get the best deals and what kind of camera to get?

I personally like Cannon cameras. So what models do you suggest?



Answer
Entry level DSLRs are the Canon Rebel T3 or the Nikon D3100 - both just about in your budget.

Stick with Nikon or Canon if you expect to get the bug. They have a better defined upgrade paththat means you won't have to ditch all your lenses when you want a new body.

What is best deal for dslr camera and when and where to buy?

Answer
Any of the entry level DSLRs would keep you happy for a few years. I'd pick either Canon or Nikon. I have a LOT of contact with other photographers and time and time again it seems that either one of those are most likely to make their owners happy.

The most important part is to buy only the best lenses - camera bodies get upgraded, lenses stay with us.
You WILL regret buying cheap lenses.
Don't rush into buying lenses. Start with a kit lens, get to know your camera, that lens, and all photographic principles.
Through time and through use, you will eventually KNOW what other lenses you'll need/want.
The more time you'll take, the less likely you are to regret your choices.

If you know anyone close to you with a camera, consider borrowing lenses and "picking their brain" about their camera and whatever else they know.

Go to a store and hold a few cameras, see how they feel to YOU.

Keep in mind that buying a DSLR isn't cheap, even if you find a good deal for body and kit lens.

You'll also want and/or need a few other things such as tripod, filters, a bag, sensor cleaning gear, a second battery, memory cards, perhaps a remote shutter release etc.

That's just the small stuff - I can guarantee you that you'll also want more and more lenses.
You'll also want a decent flash some day.

See how that list just goes on and on?
Owning a DSLR isn't cheap - at least not until you have built up a nice stash of gear.

Just some food for thought........

Do lots of research before you buy, and start learning about photography, too.
The very best thing you can do for your photography is to attend a class and read a few books and tutorials. Having some knowledge will make a huge difference to your images.
I hope I have expressed this idea clearly enough: YOU need to learn about photography because even the world's best camera will take lousy shots in the hands of someone who has no clue how to use it.
