Answer
First you have to decide what is your intended usage for the camera.

If you have professional intentions you need to go in for a DSLR, then decide upon the model and brand.

If you just want it for fun and clicking family pictures, go for any normal digital camera that's about 10-12 megapixels. Nearly all companies have similar features, give or take a few.

Either way you will have to buy a digital camera only - film cameras are passe.

Remember a video camera's primary job is to take videos, so it'll never be too good in still photo results. The same also works vice versa for a still camera.

You can choose from various companies models like Sony, Nikon, Canon which are market leaders.

Cheaper versions would be available in companies like Minolta, Olympus etc.

You can even buy a camera online. It works out quite well for most people.

Canon vs Nikon DSLR Cameras?

meaghan

okay, so I'm a beginner in dslr's and its always canon vs nikon ,which is better. im trying not to include the price in this so.
the Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR ( google if not exactly sure which it is)
or the Nikon D3100?

Answer
Definitely Nikon D3100, it is a better option i'd say. You haven't really mentioned your usage etc so cant really tell much but if one has too chose between the two than no doubt Nikon wins. I suggest you read this review to know exactly why:

Answer
The D90, no question.

The D5000 is an entry level DSLR, while the D90 is designed for advanced amateurs.

Here are the technical ratings:

http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Compare-cameras/(appareil1)/320%7C0/(appareil2)/294%7C0/(onglet)/0/(brand)/Nikon/(brand2)/Nikon

What is different in the real world is the D90 can use all the Nikon AF, AF-I and AF-S lenses. The D5000, can only use AF-I and AF-S lenses in the auto-focus mode

The D90 also has a much better body, quality build ...

Which is easiest to use? Neither. You have left the arena of P&S cameras and now are with the "big boys" with a fully adjustable camera. YOU decide what aperture or shutter speed is best, not some pre-programed shutter mode

I really want to buy the Nikon d3100 DSLR camera?

John Gusle

I really enjoy filming as an art and taking photos and I feel that this camera is the next step on my journey. The problem is I can think of no other way to get the funds for the camera outside of taking photos for people which I cannot do without the camera itself. I am here asking for suggestions. How can I raise the money to buy the camera. (Don't say get a job because I do have one. Just not one I can really buy the camera on.)

Answer
Ignore the pedants who tell you that it is digital not film. The are dinosaurs who haven't yet worked out that in common usage the words movie/film/video are interchangeable and synonymous. I bet when they were young they were told not to call them "films" they are "moving pictures"!

If you want the camera enough you will find a way.
You don't say how old you are so some of these answers may be irrelevant
Can you buy it on credit? That way you don't need the whole $$$ up front.
You have a job - how about geting a 2nd job? Work the weekend. Or get one that pays more.
Do you have anything to sell?
You won't get it on a plate - you will have to make sacrifices - but if you want it enough...

If you scratch a camera lens, can just the glass be replaced?

No, I haven't done this, thank goodness, but I was just wondering as I noticed that my lens cover wasn't on my DSLR camera in the case. Can you replace just the scratched surface, or do you have to get a whole new lens??

Answer
... very little! I have seen photos from lenses with small scratches and even one or two with small chips taken out of the lens (1mm square sizes). You couldn't tell from the pictures.

A small scratch or chip is what one would expect from mishandling a lens. The glass is very, very tough, and will resist most things.

Any force strong enough to do more than superficial damage would most likely break any filter on a lens; filter glass is also quite strong--thin, but strong. Now, you not only have the object that broke the filter to damage the lens, but now the filter fragments, themselves! Filter glass has a better chance of scratching your lens that the object that broke the filter in the first place!

I have seen pictures of several lenses after they took a fall, where the lens hit something and busted the filter. Most of the lenses had to be sent to the manufacturer to remove the filter ring! One sustained heavy damage. Photos taken with those lenses prior to repair showed very little effect in the photos (well, the heavy damage one wouldn't focus anymore as well, but that's a 6+ foot drop onto concrete...).

Also, filters can affect your photos; in fact, that's what they're meant to do! Putting a cheap filter on a $1000+ "L" lens just to protect it is turning that lens into, well, crap. I had a lens that wasn't focusing very well; things were soft. I realized that this lens (which I bought used) had a UV filter on it that I never touched. I removed the filter; the difference was noticeable. The filter has been sitting on my shelf every since.

My advice: Use filters for the following reasons, only.
Photographic effects - polarization, star-burst, neutral-density, etc. Protection only during damaging conditions/environment - sand, hail, salt-water spray, etc. For every day shooting, use a lens hood! The lens hood prevents most things from getting too close to the lens, and gives the added advantage (well, the primary usage) of preventing lens flare from slighting off-axis light sources. Most top-of-the-line lenses come with lens hoods for a reason.

For cleaning, get a micro-fiber cloth for small issues. I also got a "lens pen" that works very well; one end is a retractable brush for brushing loose dust, dirt, etc. from the lens. The other is a sort of "micro-polisher" of sorts, that can clean fingerprint smudges, etc.

And if you ever do scratch or chip the lens, take some shots through it to see if you even can tell; I'm betting you won't be able to!
