hi. I’m interested in photography. And I’m new at these things. I wanna buy camera. But i need your help!
I was gonna buy an entry-level dSLR camera ( Nikon d90). But then someone i know said that it would be better to start with a compact camera like Nikon p90 or Canon SX10. So now i don’t know what’s best for me.
I want my camera to make me feel like a real photographer. And that’s actually why i wanted to buy a dSLR camera. Is it really too soon for that?
thanks…
I plan on backpacking SE Asia next summer & am looking into getting a decent camera for it. Currently I only have a shared Fuji digital camera & the 3mp camera on my phone.
I sit worth my while investing in an entry level DSLR? I do alot of travelling & like taking plenty of pictures. If so what model might suit me best or should i just get a decent digital camera?
Nothing to fancy or too expensive – prices would help & i can see if they’re out my price range. Just for good pictures taken mainly during the day as my existing phone camera will do for pubs/club pictures.
Any help would be great! Cheers.
I’ve just spotted a Nikon D40 on Amazon for £220, £130 cheaper than the D60.
I have a point-and-shoot camera, and I really enjoy casual photography. I’ve been thinking about pursuing it as a hobby, starting with an entry-level DSLR camera. It looks like a 0-00 investment for the body and lens alone, but what about the software? Right now I use iPhoto and Picasa for light editing and for organization, but do I need Photoshop to get the fullest out of a DSLR? That’s another 0 or so to add to my budget. Note that I have no interest in a pirated or cracked version of Photoshop.
So when is the last day for that sale to end b4 they go out forever??
&
Does anyone know how much(price range) of how much they might be selling nice Canon/Nikon entry level DSLR’s???
*** Bonus Question****
Which camera do you think would work best for me?? I usually do lots of macro/close ups, nature, fast moving and people :]
So which canon or nikon model would work nicely for someone MOSTLY interested in nature? How much does it cost?
I just bought a Canon Rebel XS 1000D at Best Buy. It came with the kit lens 18-55mm.
This is just a basic entry level DSLR camera but I’d love to get into photography with it. Can I get better quality pictures with a different lens? Im not looking into upgrading cameras just yet, but heard it’s really all about the type of lens you’re using anyway.
What lens for this camera would be good to use for getting better aperture (blurry background) & RAW pictures?
What flash for this camera helps take great lit indoor photos?
(If it helps I’d like to do weddings, family and children photography). Yes, I’m a beginner, but I catch on quickly and like to jump right in. I plan to do free sessions for the next year or two for practice and see where my skills are at that point. =)
***Immature and purposely unhelpful answers will be given a thumbs down and/or reported***
For an entry level DSLR, out of the three listed above which is best? I have never used a DSLR camera before but love taking pictures and am looking to start this as a serious hobby. I will likely be taking primarily pictures of nature and historical sites when I travel. I also may use it for occasional family pictures.
When I compared the Canon vs. the Sony, I notice the Sony has a 3x optical zoom. Is this important? Also, in terms of image stabilization which would be recommended? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks much!
***Oops, meant to say Sony Alpha 330L

Last year I was debating which digital SLR camera I should purchase. It was between the Canon 30D and the Canon 5D.
My friend (who is a photographer) told me to reconsider my options because the price of the camera body itself declines greatly in just two years because technoloogy is always upgrading. He told me to purchase the Canon Rebel XTi and get a couple of L series lenses instead.
He said that the lens makes the photo, not the camera. He went on to say as long as I was shooting with a DSLR that was released fairly recent my photographs would be just as good especially when shooting with an "L".
I was skeptical but took his advice. We compared photos a few weeks later and he was right. The quality was just as good as his EOS 1D Mark III.
He told me the next camera he purchases will be one step above consumer level becuase he is tired of watching his professional DSLR cameras be out performed by entry level SLRs just two years down the road.
