Q. New questions always gets more answer.

______________


I'm turning 15 in December and Photography is my passion. I want a professional camera that is a Canon but I'm not sure what model should I get for BEGINNERS/STARTERS. I not only want the body alone, but i rather buy the whole set i guess? or however you say it. I want the lense along too. SD card can be bought separately. :]
Budget: 1k-2.5k
Thanks!
Tell me everything you know! would help!

Answer
Hey,

2500$ maximum for your first DSLR is..Awesome. But since you don't know a lot about them, every experienced photographer will recommend you to buy a good/not 2k body and a few great lenses.

I recommend you Canon EOS T1i, T2i, 60D, 7D and Nikon D3100, D5000, D90, D7000 and D300s.

T1i, T2i and D3100 and D5000 are smaller than the others I have listed. Out of these 4, T2i and D3100 win, with having lowest noise at high ISO and excellent quality.

The rest are all great, but since I dont know what you like to photographer, here's a real DSLR site:

Here's a post called 'Buying a DSLR, what's important, megapixels, features, brand, price, quality and which one to get - http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2009/03/which-dslr-to-buy.html

Good luck! There are many more tutorials, tips, buying guides (for lenses and memory cards etc) on that site.

Great Choice !!
For beginners to intermediates I suggest the Canon EOS Rebel model XSi. (Also known as the Canon 450D in Britain)The "kit" package comes with an 18-55mm zoom lens. The camera has pop-up flash, 12.2 Megapixels, and shutter speeds up to 1/4000th, 7 autoexposure modes, Shutter Priority, Aperature Priority and Programmed Modes. It also has a 3 inch LCD screen and numerous other great features found only on more expensive cameras. Wal-Mart is also selling them now for about $799. ...right at your budget level.
I bought one 6 months ago and absolutely love it. I have gotten some fantastic photos with it.

The 450D is a great camera. $813 should buy you the body and a 18-55mm lens with some cash left over for a flash unit. Unless your happy with the kit lens' rather limited reach, then prepare to make some other purchases. A better option is just to skip on the 18-55 and get a 18-200mm. It covers all the focal ranges most people would ever want. However, the body and the lens will go over your budget. Unless you want to save up, another good option is just get a Nikon D40 with a 18-200mm.

Which is the better camera?

dslr camera lense guide image

I'm looking to buy my wife a new camera because she's well overdue for one. I've been researching and I'm highly interested in the Nikon 1 series. I just don't know exactly which camera I want to get her. I basically want to get the most bang for my buck. From my understanding the quality goes from the S series, to the J series and then the V series being the best? There's a special going on at many places right now for the Nikon S1 with a 11-27.5mm lense and then a 30-110mm VR lense for like $600. I was wondering if that's a good deal or will paying the extra money for a J series like the J3 and an extra length lense worth the money?

Answer
First, anyone calling mirror-less cameras "... glorified point & shoots ..." shouldn't be taken too seriously. Yes, there are some on here who spend a great deal of time gnashing their teeth and wringing their hands criticizing mirror-less cameras while apparently forgetting that at one time in the history of photography all cameras were mirror-less. They were called view cameras and used sheets of film such as 8x10 or 5x7. Later, after the invention of 35mm film, rangefinder cameras were introduced. The Leica brand was the gold standard of rangefinder cameras. (Note: Many who now denigrate mirror-less cameras were, a few short years ago, equally dismissive of DSLR cameras with Live View and video capability.)

Look at this article:
http://www.shutterbug.com/content/photography-orest-macina-seeing-magic-macro Look at the images. Now look at the awesome, sophisticated cameras he used to make those images - an Olympus SP-565UZ and an Olympus FE-370. In my opinion having your images published in a major photography magazine when using such relatively humble cameras says a lot about mirror-less cameras and point & shoot cameras and definitely proves that "It isn't the camera its the photographer."

So if you've read reviews of the Nikon 1 models and looked at examples of pictures made with them and find them satisfactory then let your budget be your guide.

I want to buy a lense for my Nikon D5100 but I don't understand anything from all these camera terms?!?

THE TYPES OF PICTURES I WANT TO TAKE: I really want 2 CHEAP lenses 1 for landscape (so wide-view) and 1 for portraits or such thing. Mainly, I will be taking pictures of people, beautiful places, etc. I don't have a big budget and I am ONLY a beginner photographer, so I'm only looking for 2 lenses that are better than the one that comes with my camera. Thank you in advance! :)

Answer
Hi,

It's all easy to understand, so don't worry. Lenses don't understand beautiful places, bad places - they're either made out of good quality glass and then it depends on your skills.

Lenses I recommend are 10-24mm, 18-105mm, 55-200mm and more.
