Need Help Picking a New Camera!?




:)


I'm looking to get a Digital DSLR Camera. I'm not sure which brand to get it from, Sony or Nikon, or which stlye to get. I'm not looking for an overly expensive one, but I also don't want a cheap, not so good one. So if you have a DSLR camera, or know someone who has one, please help me and comment your opinions on the types of cameras! It would help me a lot, thanks! (:


Answer
DSLR cameras come in three grades:

entry level (consumer) $550 to $1,000
Semi-professional $1,000 to $3,000
Professional $4,000 to $45,000+ (Body only)

Both Canon and Nikon make nice cameras. The best thing to do is visit an actual camera shop (not bestbuy/walmart) and try the different models within your budget to see which feels the best to you AND they can answer your questions about the cameras. I bought a Canon for its ergonomics/feel/menu and control layout and a fellow photog chose Nikon for the same reason....it is about personal preference.

The one thing to remember is to budget in extra money to cover an extra battery, memory cards, camera case, a USB memory card reader, and taxes (these can add another $200-$250 to the entry level camera price).

Also, most camera shops offer free beginner camera/photography classes (and free prints) when you buy a camera there.


My thoughts on photography/cameras...

1) Photography is roughly 70% photographer skill/experience, 20% lens quality, and 10% camera body
2) I would rather have a $600 camera with a $1,500 lens than I would a $1,800 camera and a $300 lens

where to buy a professional camera?
